First off, if you aren't into the stupid type of comedy or you are a huge fan of Figure Skating then you probably won't like this movie.  But since I Love Stupid Comedy and I am not a huge fan of Figure skating this movie WAS FANTASTIC...  I was laughing NON STOP!!! 

Ok, it's about 2 rival skaters who tie for first and during the medal ceremony get into a huge fight and are banned for life from figure skating.  Then they find a loophole in teh rules and they can compete in pairs and they compete together in hopes of getting their gold medals back!

Jon Heder- He had his moments through the movie and he keeps it really interesting with his very dry sarcastic humor!  I give him a 4 out of 5

Will Ferrell-WOW!!!! Will Ferrell is unbelievably hilarious in this movie!  I really wasn't expecting him to be that funny in this I was expecting most of the humor to come from Jon Heder.  But I give Will Ferrell a 5 out of 5...

 I am going to give this movie a 5 otu of 5.

I can understand the people who are figure skating fans not liking this movie, because KingPin does to bowling what this movie does to Figure Skating.  It basically makes Figure Skating look like a mockery...

This looked funny in the commericials, but after watching several of Will Ferrells movies and getting disappointed, I was not going to watch it. I just may have to now.

So is Jon Heder able to pull off a totally different character, or is he Napoleon Dynamite all over again?

Decker, thanks for the movie review. I always enjoy them. From the commercials, it really looked stupid...but, if you have Will Ferrell and John Heder in the same movie, you are going to get "stupid". I think I may just have to try this one. :)

Deckster,

What it be homes? Alfredo Mendoza and I were championship water skiers at Cypress Gardens and went on to perform in the Ice Capades. Alfredo and I were the first male pair skaters. This was before gays. Well anyway to make a long story short we traveled to Korea, behind tha bamboo curtain, to try to find chicks that could cook dog meat properly. While we were there we performed the first Iron Lotus on a frozen pond.

Okay, Will Ferrell? I may have to try to see this one, because I do think he's funny. Sounds like you really enjoyed it. Every time we see him in a movie, my daughter says: "Mommy, look...it's Elf." I think Will Ferrel can make stupid funny, whereas Jim Carrey can make stuid, well...stupid! Thanks Decker, for another insightful review.

Thanks Big Decker!

Thanks for the link Decker. We saw this about two weeks ago, and enjoyed it. I'm usually good for some mindless humor, but these types of stories get a little old to me. Though, I think Will Ferrell is a great character actor ... and the deadpan expressions on their faces during their first in-public couple skate was priceless.
