A decent enough comedy. While Ferrell and Heder work well together, the subplot of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler (married in life - brother and sister in the movie) was my favorite part. Good for a few laughs.

Funniest scene for me was the chase scene, where Will Arnet and Will Ferrel are in their skates inside the stadium entrance. I did not actually feel the chemistry between the two comedians, but I guess seeing two men skate together is pretty bizarre or rather funny in some ways. If I'm going to rate Ferrel's performance here, its about a 7 and Heder's is about a 5.

It was better than I thought it would be. Sure, I've seen movies about rivals ending up working together in order to win a championship but what I haven't seen is that formula working in an ice-skating competition. Also, I'm not that big of a fan of Will Ferrell and Jon Heder so me liking this movie says a lot. The highlight of this film was the finale when they had to perform a really complex move and when Ferrell was singing on the treadmill. It was so funny! If it wasn't for Ferrell and Heder's comic timing, this film would've been an utter disaster. It was also a good decision to make this film as short as possible. The middle digressed a bit but otherwise it's quite entertaining.

This movie was a surprisingly good combo of two of the funniest men in comedy. Ferrell and Heder played well together and it had constant laughs. Very good!

Great movie, very funny. After seeing the movie "Lets Go To Prison" I became a big fan of Will Arnett, he really stands out in this film as a brilliant comedian. Will Ferrell is amazing as always, and Jon Heder, while he is still having a hard time shaking the Napoleon Dynamite image (some of his lines seem to come of exactly as they would in ND) still does a great job. I thought the movie was very funny, although not for everyone. I tend to enjoy a lot of the comedies that can be considered fairly mindless. All in all a very funny movie.

An entertaining but sometimes "too dumb" of a movie. Ferrel is outstanding as Anchorman - err wait. Heder is atrocious as his counter part. The subject matter is not nearly as appealing as "Talladega Nights" but better than most comedies.

A riot! Will Ferrell and Jon Heder together is like having a Will Ferrell movie mixed with a Jon Heder movie. Who would have thought of that! No really, the movie had a lot of really good lines and humorous figure skating antics.
