* {{Fanservice}}: Jenna Ficher in lingerie.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: If you had some hope that Ferrell and Heder actually trained to skate, the first green screen shot or bad CGI rendering of them on the ice will show you otherwise.
* {{Squick}}: [[spoiler:Jimmy eating trash to get the key Fairchild placed in the bin so they wouldn't show up for the finals.]]
** If I recall correctly, Chazz uses special horse-placenta shampoo; this is available in RealLife and apparently it really is great for hair.
*** This editor recalls it merely being shampoo for horses (the old "glossy coat" joke was used), but can't remember for certain one way or the other.
**** [[http://www.nextag.com/placenta-shampoo/shop-html Well, here's a good catalog of placenta shampoos.]]

* HeyItsThatGuy: [[{{Anchorman}} Ron Burgundy]] and NapoleonDynamite are banned from figure skating by [[BoyMeetsWorld Mr. Feeney]], retrained to figure skate under the wise coaching of [[TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]], face their rivals in the form of [[ArrestedDevelopment GOB]] and his long lost sister [[ParksAndRecreation Leslie Knopp]] and nearly drift apart over a misunderstanding involving [[TheOffice Pam's]] breasts. [[TheDarkKnightSaga Gotham's Bank Manager]], [[{{Reno911}} Terry the Rollerskater]] and [[SouthPark Brain "The Savior of Us All" Boitano]] are also involved.

In 2003, two skaters -- Chazz Michael Michaels (played by WillFerrell) and James "Jimmy" [=MacElroy=] (played by [[NapoleonDynamite Jon Heder) -- have been banned from the Men's Singles Skaters after a fight between the two skaters. After going through a slump in their lives, Jimmy discovered a loophole with the help of his stalker Hector saying that he can compete in the doubles even though he's been banned. Jimmy gains the help of his coach, but is unable to find a female partner, so they enlist the help of his rival Chazz to compete in the Figure Skating Championships. The two must overcome mutual dislike, limited time to prepare, their coach's secret past, and the dirty tricks of their main opponents, the Van Waldenberg siblings. The key to victory or defeat may lie in the attraction of Jimmy towards Katie, the Van Waldenbergs' little sister.
