Lumpy Ferrell gets a mullet and stuffs himself into spandex and sparkles to play bad boy ice skater Chazz Michael Michaels, whose rival is wispy blonde peacock Jimmy MacElroy (Heder). After the two are banned from singles competition for public brawling, a loophole allows them to compete as the first male/male pairs skating team, much to the disgust of oh-so-close brother/sister skating champs, the Van Waldenbergs (real-life spouses Arnett and Poehler). The jokes are obvious, which doesn't necessarily mean they aren't funny.
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.
