*** Stars
Will Ferrell has mastered the art of ridiculous comedy, where he makes a statement that you just cannot help but laugh. "I see you look like a 15-year old only not hot." Ferrell makes this movie easily watchable with a premise that probably was shot down numerous times during negotiations.
In 2002, two rival Olympic ice skaters (Badass Will Ferrell and darling Jon Heder) were stripped of their gold medals and permanently banned from men's single competition. Presently, however, they've found a loophole that will allow them to qualify as a pairs team.
Like Talledega Nights, Farrell has mastered another secondary sports movie. Heder hides his Napoleon Dynamite persona and hold his own with Ferrell on screen. This is a surprisingly successful stoner movie. This is the kind of movie that reminds us why Ferrell became a star in the first place.
