I saw this last night on HBO:
And yes it was dumb. And yes the plot was predictable. And yes it had it's share of homosexual jokes. And yes it played out exactly how you think it's going to.
But you know what? I could not have cared less. I laughed like crazy during some parts and in general I liked this movie. I'm glad I didn't have to pay anything to see it, we've been getting free HBO on our digital cable for months now, and I'm glad I got to see it because it was funny. Now I understand that some of you don't think Will Ferrell's aggressively stupid arrogant guy bit is funny, but I do. I find it enormously funny sometimes, I loved him in that NASCAR movie and I'll probably love him in that basketball movie as well. Sue me, I laugh when he acts arrogantly idiotic.
Amy Poehler and her real life husband Will Arnett were hilarious as a brother sister skating duo who are a little too close for comfort. Jenna Fischer is cute as a button in this movie as well. Romy Malco and Craig T. Nelson are also good in the film too. The cameos of the skating greats was fun also, Nancy Kerrigan, Peggy Fleming, and Dorothy Hamill all are in it and they are all still gettin' it done.
If you want a few laughs and some brainless entertainment that doesn't ask too much of you then check this out. I liked it and odds are if you like dumb comedies, then you will too.
