We love this film almost as much as we love the video for Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory". Now if only we could watch this film at the drive-in featured in the video...
Here's what our favourite resources say at time of writing:
Rotten Tomatoes - 69% ("Successfully milks its one-joke premise into a feature-length comedy")
Metacritic - 64 (critics), 7.4 (users)
IMDb - 7.0
We give it a 100%, 100, 10.0 and 10.0 for perfectly ridiculous hilarity.
Synopsis
When rival figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) go ballistic in an embarrassing, no-holds-barred fight at the World Championships, they are stripped of their gold medals and banned from the sport for life.
Now, 3.5 years on, they've found a loophole that will allow them to compete: if they can put aside their differences, they can skate together - in pairs' figure skating.
