I tend to enjoy Will Ferrell as an actor, although I am always very cautious about seeing his movies because much of his humor tends to be more gratuitous than actually funny. However, I was encouraged by the previews, his costar Jon Heder, and my imminent boredom to see the movie. I certainly found a few parts of the movie entertaining, particularly the character of Jon Heder and the scene of their first skate as a couple. As a whole I would venture to say that the first half of the movie was very entertaining while the second half was only mildly (if at all) humorous. All the same, I would probably recommend the movie to someone who liked movies such as Nacho Libre or Night At The Roxbury.

I am not a big Will Ferrell fan (understatement) so would never volunteer to see this film. As the people I was hanging out with were all hell-bent on it, however, I was kinda stuck.

You can imagine my surprise and disbelief then when I actually ENJOYED this movie. It was generally funny, albeit in a mindless sort of way. Still, I had a good time, even though I feel a bit dumber for it.

That being said, the ending was still stupid. I can see why they did it, but it was still stupid.

This is probably the funniest figure skating movie ever made! OK so it’s probably the only comedy about figure skating ever made but…
it was great

The first scene where they skate as a pair was hilarious! Four of us went to see and and unbeknownst to us someone we knew was sitting about five rows back from us in the theater. They wound up laughing at us laughing at the movie!
