Chazz (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy (Jon Heder) are two of the worlds best male solo ice skaters. One year at the Olympics they tie for first place, but due to their dislike of eachother end up fighting and being banned from the Olympics. Nearly four years later they discover a loophole that says that they can enter the Olympics again, this time as a team - if they can stop fighting that is.
This isn't too bad of a movie, there are a couple of bits which make me go ugh, as the bits are meant to be funny in how the moment is portrayed as being awkward, but it's just too awkward and a bit over the top so it simply had me wanting those bits to be over and done with.
There are some fun moments, I did enjoy both the solo ice-skating 'dances' and loved the duet. It's not a great movie by any standards, but it is a fun movie. Could have had some improvement, but there was some good laughs and even a surprise moment for those who didn't see it coming.

In the near future, a mechanized police force patrols the streets and deals with lawbreakers -- but now, the people are fighting back. When one police droid is stolen and given new programming, he acquires the ability to feel and think for himself. While the robot, dubbed "Chappie (Sharlto Copley)," puzzles out human behavior, the authorities begin to see him as a danger to mankind and order; they will stop at nothing to ensure that Chappie is the last of his kind.
