If you don't get it, you aren't watching close enough. Excellent piece dealing with deeper layers of reality. Funny too. Not everything needs to be watered down for every audience. The Retriever is completely off on this one.

I laughed so hard I was crying through most of this movie but pretty much everyone else I know hated it. There is no middle ground with this movie. Black's innocence and commitment to the most ridiculous of inventions that works for no logical reason and Stiller's voice of reason and eventual jealously when one of Black's ideas actually works without any logic, is a fascinating character study as well as a crazy setup for this madcap comedy. I still laugh every time I think of any of the scenes with Black's horse. Christopher Walken is at his absurd best. Give it 15 minutes to take hold. If you don't feel it in the first 15 minutes, turn it off and go grab Flirting with Disaster or School of Rock but don't miss out on giving this film a chance. It is one of the best or worst Stiller, Black, or Walken films you will ever see.

Definitely the best movie ever made about ice skating. Laugh out loud (very loud) funny, particularly the scene at nationals where Ferrell and Heder make their public debut.
