The Cutting Edge

Rating:
Summary: Highly Underrated
Review: For those of you who think that this movie is just another pale, insipid, ice skating, triumph of the underdogs movie, think again. Yes, the plot is pure formula, but the script is sharp and witty, the actors are well cast, with an excellent on screen chemistry between Kelly and Sweeney that is often quite absent in bigger budeget movies, and the figure skating is superb.

Rating:
Summary: A Great Film
Review: The Cutting Edge was a wonderful combination of comedy and romance with both actors displaying a sense for comical flair and believable sexual tension. Although somewhat predictable, this movie does not give in so quickly to the characters obvious attraction, and allows it to unfold naturally, sticking close to how I believe Kate and Doug, had they been real, would behave. When first deciding to watch the movie I was somewhat sceptical but was pleasantly surprised by both director and the actors ability to light up the screen with a funny script that so easily could have ended up in the wrong hands. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good movie thats not too taxing. Its definately one of my faves.

Summary: Unique chick-flic
Review: My family and friends constantly mock me for loving this film, but their opinions matter little. To me this film is not addictive because of the love story, but because of the athletic come-from-behind victory theme. Athletes can relate to the competitive nature of the two main characters whose desires to "beat" the other draw them inextricably together. The verbal repartee is wonderful, the skating is exciting, and the attraction depicted between Sweeney and Kelly is real and palpable from the first moments. Bottom line: this film combines the ever-popular against-all-odds love with underdog-wins archetypes quite successfully. Love it!

Summary: Romance on ice.
Review: Normally romantic comedies bore me. I just can not stand the sentimentality; but this one was just great. Two sympathetic leads, portraying realistic characters, great scating scenes and a solid, if somewhat predictable plot make this a very pleasant movie to see. In its sort is the Cutting Edge probably the best movie ever made. A special compliment should go to the stuntscaters who did a magnificent job

Rating:
Summary: A true video success story.
Review: This movie was ignored by both critics and audiences when it was released in theaters. Yet when it came out on video tape it became a huge success. Why? Good word of mouth. People loved the simple, if predictable, love story and the two leads who made it work. (Kelly and Sweeney are both very good.) They loved it so much they told their friends about it and they told their friends. "The Cutting Edge" is now considered by some to be a modern-day romantic classic. Pretty amazing.
