Silly comedy and it was meant to be

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2007)

This is both a Cinderella story and a matiné drama, but spiced up. It mocks with the American dream, with homophobia, with the skating world. But it still advocates dreams.
Will Ferrell is making another one of his raw characters with the big heart. Jon Heder matches him as the clean American 26-year-old virgin boy (Hollywood's new favorite subject). They form an all-male skating couple! This is a new comedy idea, well supported by Craig T Nelson as their coach. It's funny, down to earth, and its intention is to be an intelligent but silly movie . A nice surprise, since you hadn't expected much.
