STORY: 5/7
Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder - Napoleon Dynamite) and Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrel - Anchorman) are rivals in the field of male professional figure skating. After getting into a fight on the ice however, they are both banned for life from competing in men's singles. There was nothing in the rules top stop them from qualifying for pairs though.

ACTING: 5/7
Ferrel and Heder are quite good at playing the immature, angry characters but it's Will Arnett and Amy Poehler (Gob and Krindy - Arrested Development) who totally steal the show as Stranz and Fairchild the brother / sisterskating team.
