Lack of good storyline.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I love this movie. I have seen it so many times I've lost count. Ridiculous, over the top, hilarious and heartwarming. Brilliant acting and chemistry from the leads and some hilarious one liners all add to the madness and fun. Okay, so the premise is not entirely original but the twist of it being on ice is a fun touch and some of the moves choreographed are epic. The lead males are so ridiculously opposed in personalities but the bond they form is very well carried out and plausible by the end. I recommend anyone who loves off the wall humour sees this, particularly any Ferrell fans out there. A lot of people say this movie is too dumb because the humour is too over the top to be taken seriously.. Yes- it IS tacky, cheesy, over the top in many parts- that's the point. It's supposed to be. Ironically,to those labelling this kind of comedy as suitable only for those with an IQ of zero.. If you can be smart enough in your wits grasp the deliberate nature of this type of humour, you will get it's appeal.

First things first, I don't care for Will Ferrell in 99% of his movies, that being said this film falls into the 1% category (Far from the rubbish Talladega Nights and pretty close to the excellent Night at the Roxbury). Despite what should be a lame and uninteresting 'sport' to base a movie on I found myself really enjoying the ridiculousness of everything, from the themed outfits and routines to the childish arguments between Ferrell and Heder.This movie is far from perfect but it put a bigger smile on my face than I expected and even made me laugh out loud a few times. Derek.This is a parody of sports films and parody means to make fun of and that's where this film like all other Will Ferrell film fails, it is not in the least bit funny. James.

A beautifully acted and directed film that will be hilarious to anyone who has ever watched an Olympic ice dancing competition. One wonders whether it's far from the truth! Will Ferrell is perfect as the hyper-egotistical superstar Chazz Michael Michaels who, rather predictably for a Ferrell film, has a spectacular fall from grace. He's barred from skating for life, for fighting with rival Jimmy McIlroy (Jon Heder), who is also banned. But McIlroy's nutty stalker, Hector (Nick Swardson) finds a loophole, in that Chazz and Jimmy could try becoming a male- male dancing pair. Almost stealing the show are Amy Poehler and Will Arnett as the Van Waldenberg siblings, the hysterically nasty, incestuous rivals to Chazz and Jimmy. They blackmail their Cinderella-style, sweet younger sister Katie (Jenna Fischer) to do all sorts of evil things to Jimmy and Chazz, but Katie instead falls awkwardly in love with Jimmy. Poehler and Arnett are obviously loving their dastardly roles and I don't know how Ferrell and Heder were able to keep straight faces through all of their own ridiculously silly dialogue and routines. All in all, a very good movie.

In the words of Dave Chappelle, "I wish I had more hands, so I could give this movie four thumbs down."The humor in this film is suitable for the audience of preteen boys,the humor is not witty, but immature funny aka stupid funny, however, not the good kind. I swear it is one of the worst films I have ever watched. I detest when I walk into the bedroom and see this on the television with my husband watching it. Awful. If I had a time machine I would have dedicated my life to preventing the creation of this horrible film.Will Ferrell plays the same role and character as he always does, but in this film he defies odds to prove he is not homophobic. This film points jokes at the sport of professional ice skating, all while making the viewer embarrassed and violated from the eye rape that this film does to their sensitive eyeballs. The feathered hair, the corny, overdone outfits, the glitter, the leather, gross. If you are looking for a film where adults play the role of complete idiots, show the brain function of kindergarteners, and full of humor that your children will find downright the funniest thing ever, this is your film.
