Will Ferrell does it again!
) 
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Just watched the movie last night and it was great! If you are a fan of Will Ferrell's you have to at least see this movie once. I'm not sure that it is really worth buying, because the re-watchability of this one I'm a little skeptical about. Most of the funny parts have to do with the difficulty that two men have with skating with each other, being that they hate one another. There are a lot of great cameo's by some former and current skaters. I thought that the movie wasn't quite as gut splitting like some of Will Ferrell's other movies (Talladaga Nights, Elf) but it did keep me laughing all the way through. Buy it if you are a huge fan, otherwise I would suggest renting this one first!

Back in the comedic routine styles of Talladega Nights and Old School, here is the hilarious Will Farrell that we know and love. He has had a couple flops along the way getiing back to comedy the way HE does it best, but this one is truely laugh out loud funny. From the skating to the jokes It is all good. Leave the kids out on this one as it does have some very adult overtones, but if you are looking for an enjoyable escape with a night of comedy rent or buy this. Thanks for reading this and Thats just this guys opinion.

SLOW shipping
) I reviewed this product before I received it. It took a month to be shipped to me (within the continental US). I was shocked by this, especially since this was sold by a power seller.
Don't buy from this seller if you're excited to get your product in a timely fashion.

Very funny!
I actually prefer this movie to Taladega Nights. Nights felt like it was making fun of rednecks and southerners. That would be okay, but it was so mean spirited about it though.
In this movie, you end up liking the heroes. They end up having redeemable qualities.
Plus, this movie is darn hilarious. I love the villians and how they don't kiss like brothers & sisters should kiss! Oh my!

An amusing movie, but not for the collectionReview created: 09/13/07

Will Farrel and Jon Heder have a particular type of humor that people either find funny or not. They remained true to their style in this movie, so if you liked previous movies then you will like this one. If you didn't like them before, don't waste your time here.
Will plays Chazz, a sexed up, drunk up, in your face skater that makes his routine up as he goes. Jon plays Jimmy, a dainty, effeminate, picture perfect skater who plans everything out to the impossible degree.
The two actors work very well together and pull off a perfect "fire and ice" comedy. Like most opposites, each character actually has a little of the other in himself: Chazz has the ultimate hairbrush and Jimmy scoots across the ice on his bare chest.
The slap-stick act is balanced by the spoofs on the professional sport of skating. Many subtle jokes are made lampooning skaters that only those familiar with the sport will appreciate. The plot is hardly original and what happens next is certainly no secret. This in itself is a spoof on the dramas that normally cover this type of sporting event.
By having such a lame plot, the producers are able to focus exclusively on the off the wall bizarreness that they are famous for. For example, when Jimmy asks what the words to a Black Eyed Peas song means, Chazz responds that "no one knows what it means, but it's provocative."
I saw the movie while on a flight, and for me that was perfect. I found it amusing and it successfully helped me pass time when I had nothing else to do. But amusing was all it was for me-I do not plan on watching it again and it will not be found in my private collection.

Laughs on Ice0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) and Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) are ice skating champions until they tie for first place one day and get into a fight on the podium. They get banned for life from figure skating and wind up doing regular Joe-jobs. Chazz, a self-proclaimed sex-addict, gets gigs as a mascot on ice while Jimmy, the sensitive one, works as a clerk at a skate shop. It's only when one of Jimmy's obsessed fans brings to his attention a loophole; he was banned from single events and there's nothing prohibiting him from skating in pairs. He needs a partner and his old coach (played to perfection by Craig T. Nelson) thinks Chazz and Jimmy would make a great pair. Thus begins the road to the figure skating championship in pairs featuring two men together for the first time.
An overall very funny film, more so than I expected. I'm a huge fan of Ferrell, not so much of Heder, but they had good chemistry together and their two different styles complemented each other quite well. Even if a few of the jokes fall flat, most of them are hilarious and the situations they find themselves in are so preposterous that you can't help but laugh. I was also impressed by the actors' skating abilities; they had to skate quite a bit (the acrobatics might have been done by stunt doubles but they still had to skate here and there) and they made it look easy. The supporting cast was comprised of regular Frat Pack members and friends such as Luke Wilson, Jenna Fischer, and Romany Malco. They all brought their funny lines to the part. Real-life skating champions also made their appearances; Brian Boitano, Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill, Nancy Kerrigan all had cameo roles, to name a few. The final part of the film was shot and takes place in my hometown of Montreal so I had a good time recognizing the various locations and venues.
Not as funny as other Ferrell classics like Old School, Night at the Roxbury, or Anchorman, but still worth the price of admission. More like "it's so silly it's funny" kind of humor. Fans of Ferrell and/or Heder shouldn't be disappointed.
