Summary: Toe Pick!
Review: Figure skating, angst, romance -- what fun!

The Cutting Edge may be predictable...but this is a completely unapologetic low-budget chick flick, and therefore romantic and INCREDIBLY fun! The chemistry between the two main characters is absolutely wonderful. A must see for fellow romantic saps!

There's cute banter, loads of tension and cheesy figure skating costumes...if that's not a recipe for fun, I don't know what is! ;)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Romantic and entertaining!
Review: A great romantic, feel good movie! My husband really loves this movie, too! Before watching this movie,the men might think it is too much of a "chick-flick", but they may be pleasantly surprised. Very funny and fast-paced. Good for the whole family.

Summary: ICE SKATING COMES ALIVE IN "THE CUTTING EDGE"!!!!
Review: I PURCHASED "THE CUTTING EDGE" ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AGO. I LOVE MOVIES ABOUT SKATING, AND THE IS ONE OF THEM! I JUST STARTED WATCHING IT AGAIN AFTER TAKING A COUPLE OF YEARS OFF FROM IT. I NOW OWN IT ON VHS, DVD, AND ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE JUST MOTIVATES ME, FROM THE KICK[in] MUSIC, TO HOW DOUGLAS DORSEY (D.B. SWEENEY) AND KATE MOSELY (MOIRA KELLY) RELATE! AN ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATION FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO ROY DOTRICE, FOR PLAYING ANTON, THEIR WONDERFUL COACH! WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE! IF YOU NEED A LIFT IN LIFE, WATCH THIS FILM, GET THE MUSIC! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! TRIPLE AXEL ON DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL STORE NOW!

Summary: One of my all-time favorite movies
Review: This is one of my all time favorite movies, and I was pleased as punch to see it come out on DVD. For those of you not familiar with it, the story is of the figure-skating diva that can't find a partner, who suddenly meets her match in Doug Dorsey, a washed up hockey-player brimming with testosterone. They meet, they bicker, they fall in love. Badda-boom, badda-bing. This is more of a 'chick' movie than a guy movie, but it's entertaining for the entire family, IMO.

Two things keep me from giving this DVD the 5 stars it deserves : One is cinematic, and one is something else.

1. The ending abruptly cuts off, leaving you to 'guess' how it ends. Some folks prefer an ending like this--I do not. I want it spelled out for me!

2. There are hardly any 'special features' on this DVD. The only one is the movie trailer. If you're looking to get the DVD for all the special add-ins, skip this one.

But it's still one of my favorites! DB Sweeney really steals the movie away.

Summary: Toe pick too
Review: Our 5 yr. old son recently took up skating. He now demands that we take hime to the rink every weekend, in addition to his regular lessons. Last weekend, my wife performed the most graceless belly flop on ice I have ever seen. After I picked myself up off the ground and replaced her on the ice, I managed to one-up her with two full twists, arms and legs flapping before I slammed into the ice and skidded to a stop against the boards.

Lying there on the ice, laughing at myself, one phrase was all that could come to mind, "toe pick" in a light, lilting, completely condecending voice. Boy can I relate to D.B. Sweeney's character in this wonderful, family film. The pain in my knee as I tried to right myself on the ice brought flashbacks of the training scenes and the visible determination of the skaters to try and make a bad situation work. The dynamics thrum on multiple layers as Doug and Kate learn how to skate together, relate to each other, love themselves, and, finally, love each other.

The acting is excellent, the story is fun and the skating is ok. But, these two actors, given the same situation and any other sport, could work the same movie magic. The chemistry is perfect. All of the primary actors are strong and communicate the emotions of the moment without need of dialogue to muck it up.

We do not yet own this DVD, but I will certainly buy so that my wife and I can chant together, in sinch. with the movie... "toe pick." Men, this is not just a "chick flic." You to can enjoy a romance, even if you don't want to admit it.

Summary: TERRIBLE movie
Review: I REALLY wanted to like this movie but didn't. It was terrible.

I do not see how hte characters could fall in love. She was a total heartless *itch the whole movie. He wasn't that good himself.

I lvoe figure skating, but the movie is not good at all. They focus on the "love" story for most of the movie- what love story? The ending was not any good either.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a while. If I could I would give it no stars, but htat is not possible. I am so glad my college was playing on our movie channel. I would definitly want my money back if I had rented it.

and yes- I am a girl who loves chick flicks, but this movie is terrible!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE! FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Skating on Thin Ice
Review: If you are looking for a movie with delicious tension and a focus on Winter Olympics, you can't really go wrong with this romance.

Kate Mosley (Moira Kelly) needs a figure skating partner and Doug Dorsey (D.B. Sweeney) seems willing to try something new. In fact, he says he even actually likes figure skating after he figures out he has a talent for the sport.

Through the story, Kate and Doug learn to deal with their different backgrounds and find common ground. While their relationship seems doomed from the start, somehow they manage to skate over the thin ice and reach a place that is warm and secure.

What I liked most about this movie is that Doug doesn't take advantage of Kate when she is at her most vulnerable point in the movie. He also really wants to succeed and is willing to put up with Kate's moods in order to get there.

If you are looking for a romance that won't make men yawn, this is it! I could watch this movie over and over again. It is timeless. The characters also make all the right choices in the end.

Quite endearing and witty.
Now this is entertainment!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Review for The Cutting Edge
Review: This movie has to be a personal favorite of mine. It is a favorite for all figure skaters and hockey players. It is full of drama and actions that make you think and wonder. It is a mix of heart and ambition. If you like A classic I highly expect you to redn this in Dvd or VHS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorites!
Review: I can never get tired of watching this DVD! I had been hoping they would release it, and when they did I was so excited. This story is innovative and charming. The characters are 3-dimensional and very believable. The dialogue is realistic and witty. I love the actors, the tempo and the soundtrack. The script is well-done and the pacing drives this movie home. I highly recommend!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Cutting Edge- A great romantic comedy
Review: This is a great movie. It has great figure skating, and a romantic storyline. The characters have a great chemistry with one another with a great supporting cast as well. This video is a must have for a hopeless romantic like me.
