the dirty side of figure skating

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2008)

This movie exploits the dirty side of figure skating so to speak. It's entertaining and amusing. Not a great comedy, but certainly good enough. Will Ferrell plays his usual character stereotype. Jon Heder plays Jimmy, the rival to Ferrell's Chazz. Both get kicked out of men's figure skating after a funny series of events. They both get loser jobs. Jimmy's coach comes back into the picture, and they come up with the idea of pairs skating. Jimmy can't find a girl in time, so he takes Chazz as a partner. Of course, hijinks ensue, since the two can't stand each other. The Van Waldenberg's are the leaders in pairs figure skating and they do all they can to sabotage Chazz and Jimmy. The funniest scene of the movie is when Jimmy calls Katie to ask her out for a snow cone. Chazz tells Jimmy what to say and Katie's brother and sister tell her what to say. That was so funny.
FINAL VERDICT: This movie is like any Will Ferrell movie, so if you like his other films, you will like this one.
