Waste Of Talent.

Rating: 3/10 (13 April 2007)

Will Ferrell is one of my favorite actors rite now, most of his movies are hilarious. However, although I'm not a fan of John Heder because I found Napoleon Dynamite to be a waste of 90 minutes of my life, I can still appreciate his work. I watched this movie, not expecting it to be the funniest movie I have ever seen, but at least expecting a decent comedy. I was completely mistaken. The few laughs one does get out the movie come from Will Ferrel; John Heder only brought the movie down with his predictable and dry jokes. All the jokes are 'played out', nothing original, and nothing you haven't seen and/or heard before - but in all fairness you will get a few laughs out the movie (hence my 3/10 rating rather than 1/10), but not nearly as much as you should considering it is a Will Ferrell comedy. The clichÃ© and uninteresting storyline made the movie even worse - two enemies team up to overcome the odds and work together to win the competition. That's basically the whole story right there. I wasted 90 minutes of my life watching a this movie, when after 20 minutes into it I knew exactly how it would end. I simply hoped to get some laughs, but as it turns out, that hope was in vain.
In the end they fly away together. I still do not understand that. I am not homophobic and I apologize if the following words offend you, but I feel the need to get this off my chest. Not only is it the gayest way possible to end a gay movie about two gay men ice skating together, but it does not make any sense. I am still not sure if the ending was suppose to be funny or dramatic, but I found it to be neither - I found it to be retarded. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, spend any of your hard earned money to watch this movie.
