Figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) compete in a rivalry that extends off the ice in a brawl on the podium, which results in the loss of their medals and being banned from singles competition. But, after looking at the rule book, they come up with a loophole that allows them to compete in doubles competition. They form a team and decide to include the Iron Lotus (a maneuver that has only been performed once in the past and resulted in the decapitation of one of the partners). As if this does not cause enough trouble for them, they must also deal with the brother and sister team of champions–Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg (Will Arnett and Amy Poehler)–who are determined to sabotage the Chazz and Jimmy team.
