Title: 30 minutes' worth of humor stretched out for 90 minutes
Product review: I really wanted to like this movie, but it fell flat for me. Everything seemed very formulaic and predictable. Will Ferrell played his usual clueless-but-cocky character, and Jon Heder seemed out of his league as Ferrell's rival (and eventual partner). Some of the physical humor was mirth-provoking, but the off-the-ice scenes seemed labored. The highlight of the movie, for me, was the brother and sister team played by real-life spouses Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. I'd give this movie 2.5 stars if Amazon allowed that. I'm going with 2 stars to lower the average rating a bit.
