Story: Will Ferrell and Jon Heder star as rival figure skaters, banned and disgraced from the sport, who team together as pairs' skaters.
Review: At first glace you would think this movie is going to be one of those, "Oh it's so stupid, it will have to be funny movies". But no, the dialog between the characters was actually thought out and witty at times. There is also the physical aspect of two guys skating together which makes the movie even more fun. It won't bring home Oscar, but it does deliver the belly laughs. From the moment the movie starts it has you chuckling. Will Ferrell's character is completely nuts; but that is why we love him. Jon Heder holds his own and the combination of both Jon and Will on screen is dynamite. Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Nick Swardson and Jenna Fischer make the movie so entertaining.
This movie is hilarious, I saw it twice! Two Thumbs up!

Rachel and I thought it was pretty funny, but found ourselves very disappointed at how overly sexual and crass it got. I was hoping it'd be youth group material, but it just wasn't clean in even a remote way. Will Farrell is funny regardless but goes in either the Elf/Kicking and Screaming direction with good clean humor or the Anchorman direction. Blades of Glory does in the overly sexualized camp. Bummer. But still a lot of good laughs if you can stomach the grotesque.
