Slate gives Arnett huge thumbs up in Blades of Glory

Ok, so the writer sounds a lot of warning bells about "Blades of Glory", but sure gives Arnett some huge props.

Will Arnett and his real-life spouse, Amy Poehler, play the rival pairs team Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, a brother and sister with an incestuous vibe and no qualms about using Tonya Harding methods to disable the competition. As he proved in Arrested Development (God rest its soul), Arnett can play a dimwitted, openly ruthless villain like nobody's business. His physical-comedy skills are superb, most notably in a very slow chase scene that [spoiler]departs from the fact that skates are impossible to walk on as soon as you leave the ice[/spoiler].


They didn't call that last part a spoiler, but it seemed like it might give somethign away. I wasn't sure if I was going to see the film - it had such a cheesy air to it, so my only temptation was because of Arnett & Poehler. Now, I'll definitely see it.[/i]
