a dumb trifle, though there's some laughs here. the cheeky sports comedy has been done to death (Will Ferrell and his peers are among the executioners) but there's an energy here that might have paid off if Gordon & Speck had anything to focus it on besides the single gay panic-laced joke of two men figure skating together. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett steal the show (i love Ferrell, but he coasts here) as their psychotic brother/sister opponents, and for a few minutes the pair leads the film along a more righteous comedic path...but for naught.
