Summary: Not good
Review: I'm female and didn't like this movie. I was expecting lots of ice skating stunts, but there weren't many. Most of the movie focused on the "love" story between the two main characters. "Love" is in quotation marks because it was not a believeable love story: the two characters were very different and neither was likeable. The female's sudden, inexplicable transformation from nasty to sweet is likewise unbelieveable (but predictable). Additionally, the movie was full of unappealing cliches: the female constantly nagging the hapless male, random women fawning all over the male (even though he's nothing to write home about), tough guy getting in touch with his sensitive "inner self," and on and on. I don't recommend it.

Summary: Better than expected!
Review: After nearly wearing out my VHS copy, I bought this on DVD. The sharp, crisp viewing was a very nice surprise, given my poor old worn-out VHS copy that I'd grown accustomed to.

Summary: My All-Time Favorite!!!
Review: Gone With the Wind used to be my favorite movie, until my mother made me watch The Cutting Edge with her about a week ago. I had never even heard of it before. I saw it on Friday, rented it on Monday, and have not stopped thinking about it since. The acting is superb and the skating sequences are incredible. You actually believe that the actors are doing the skating. This is a very funny, romantic, and heart-warming film that is free of violence(save the occasional slapshot), sex, and excessive profanity. It just goes to show you that a PG movie can be great. My favorite scene is the drinking scene. Its so cute and very funny. Anyone who has not seen this movie, you will do yourself a great favor to go rent it now!-if for no other reason, then for the dreamy stare you have after it's over as you rewind it to watch it again. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I ONLY WISH THEY WOULD MAKE A SEQUEL!toe-pick!

Summary: The Cutting Edge
Review: I had watched this film once when I was still in college. I found it very interesting. I never had the chance to watch it since then until just recently. I never thought I would be more interested with it than when I watched it the first time. I knew it was something cool but the story seems to have caught me by surprise. I have watched the film 8 times for the past week and still eager to watch it again. I am only worried my laptop will stop running due to continuous use. In general, this film is not an ordinary film. Ever since, I am more into watching action films but this one has caught my attention more than anything else. How I wish they have considered creating a sequel.I am not sure how it's going to be but I am sure it's something to watch for once again. Maybe, a story of their own children, whatever.

Summary: very special, Moira Kelly is amazing!!!
Review: I saw this movie on video in 1992, and i fell in love with it. from that day forword, Moira Kelly is my favorite actress, and this is my favorite movie of all times. It's one of the only movies i can watch over and over again without getting sick of it. This movie will leave you smiling for days and days, because of the great love story between Kate and Doug, and believe me, listening to Joe Cocker will never ever be the same. this ultimate romentic comedy will rock your world: you'll laugh a lot, cry a little and fall in love all over again.

Summary: Good Modern Version of the Taming of the Shrew
Review: Ok, this is not Shakespeare, but It's an enjoyable flick nonetheless. The chemistry between the two main characters is palpable and realistic and I actually enjoyed it more than "Sleepless in Seattle" for example, since the attraction between the two leads is not built on improbable new-age-like twists of fate, but on the realistic fact that the girls actually finds a guy who relentlessly tames her. All in all, it's a pretty good date movie that will satisfy both genders.

Summary: I'm a pushover for a good romance.....
Review: What can I say? I loved it! Soundtrack fits, actors fit their roles precisely, chemistry is "on", and oh, yes, we are worrying about the Olympics while the romance evolves. I've seen it four times and I like it more each viewing!

Summary: Entertainment at its finest
Review: Kate Mosley, a tempermental figure skater without a partner, and Doug Dorsey, a former hockey player knocked out of the game after taking a bad shot to the head, team up to become a pair of figure skaters with hopes of going to the olympics. That, in a nut shell is the basic premise behind this movie, but the journey of getting there is the real heart of this movie. The romance which develops between the two lead characters adds nothing new to the genre and follows the standard formula almost to the letter. The initial hostility they shared towards one another at the beginning, the byplay that develops as they get to know one another, the leading towards romance, the inevitable misunderstanding, and then finally getting together. However, the two leads are both attractive people, and they have a strong onscreen chemistry together which makes their romance seem believable, and a joy to watch. The figure skating in the movie is highly enjoyable to watch, even for someone like me who isn't into figure skating as a general rule. I do have to wonder whether the finishing move they use at the end of the movie is really possible to pull off though. It might have just been me, but I couldn't see how they could have pulled off enough momentum to really do the move, because it didn't really look like it could have worked to me. However, that's only a minor complaint, and the move did look good, so whether or not it's physically possible isn't only a secondary concern. So, if you enjoy romance movies, and have some liking for figure skating, I recommend you check this movie out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: My all time fave movie ever!
Review: No guns, no explosions, no super dooper special effects... I still can't quite figure out why I love this movie so much. True, some of the scenes in the film may not be 'accurate' in portraying ice skating tournaments and such, but that isn't exactly the focus of the film now is it? I only have two minor gripes with this film; Since it's never announced whether they won or not, there could have been a great sequel pulled out of it. (Well maybe not a great sequel, but who'd like to see one regardless?) The only other point I have to raise is that neither Sweeney or Kelly have made anything as good since. A serious shame, but an excellent movie nonetheless.

Summary: Dave Young No Like
Review: You better believe Dave Young has a big problem with this movie. Now chick flicks are all well and good, and for all I know they may serve some kind of purpose. But this is simply going too far. This dude (if I can even call him that) goes from being a hockey player to an ice skater!!??? What kind of giraffe poo is that? What this film failed to show is the severe beating that he had coming to him and definitely would have received from other hockey players for being such a pansy. The least he could have done was given the female lead a Cleveland Steamer to redeem himself on some level. Instead he chose to prance around in his ice skating uniform looking for something to snoggle.
