Daft. Funny. I liked it.

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2010)

This endearingly daft film is based on the simple but original idea of a pair of male figure skaters.
The story includes rivalry, villainy, romance, and Rocky-like training from a position of disadvantage. It also includes a number of characters who are (very) broad caricatures - the caricatures are funny, however. But above everything else there is this sight gag of two men ice-dancing routines at least part of which would be better suited to women skaters.
Ferrell and Heder work very well together as both rivals and partners.
This movie is profoundly daft, but highly enjoyable.
