Na patinação no gelo em duplas o sucesso depende de uma mistura perfeita de força e sofisticação, coragem e arte, músculos e refinamento. O campeonato mundial do esporte costumava ocorrer em um universo elegante, até a explosão da rivalidade entre o astro Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) e do garoto prodígio Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder). Chad e Jimmy já se enfrentaram em campeonatos anteriores, mas a rivalidade faz com que briguem em plena pista de patinação, o que faz com que o mascote seja incendiado. Como resultado, ambos são expulsos do esporte. Três anos e meio depois, ambos ainda não se adequaram fora do esporte. É quando eles decidem se reunir para realizar algo inédito: ser a 1ª dupla de homens da história da patinação no gelo.
Frustrating watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend.
This might be one of the stupidest movie concepts I've ever watched. Not to mention its routed slightly in homophobia which seems like they're doubling down on a problem that men's figure skating is already dealing with.
I'm not into skating, but I can't imagine anyone who is into skating is going to be excited or enjoy the jokes at their expense, so I'm a little lost at who the audience is for this unless it's "people that hate figure skating" and I don't see them watching a figure skating movie.
A lot of the jokes just fall flat, and it's not like they don't know who to structure jokes throughout the story: the villains actually have a well constructed arc, just not a great quality to it.
The characters are mostly unlikable and chaotic, the movie is literally telling them to stop it for half the movie, and by the time it stops I don't care what the characters do until the end.
The best bit was the romantic story arc which was heavily polluted by the rest of the story.
I really thought this movie would be horrible. It was actually a funny and entertaining movie. I swear Will Ferrell can make anything funny. He's one of my favorite actors.
