Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2007)

This movie is another one of a long line of Will Farrell movies that are so bad, they're good. As usual, this isn't an intelligent comedy in any respect, but I'll be damned if I didn't bust my gut laughing at least 10 times throughout the movie.
The film is a healthy mix of inane dialogue and visual humour, with both Farrell and Heder giving compelling performances. Farrell is especially gifted with random off the wall comments his arguments with Heder are comedy gold. Even funnier than the dialogue though, are the numerous skating routines in sequined spandex, replete with uber-homoerotic moves which are guaranteed to make you cringe and laugh your a** off at the same time.
My only complaint is that the baddies were quite lame (as baddies go) and their sister doesn't really do much to gain the audience's affection either. I suppose the movie wanted to retain the focus on the two protagonists, which is probably a good idea in this type of flick.
Overall, this is a solid comedy and well worth a watch or two on DVD.
