Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

lasherxl On its merits alone it would have been a fine Saturday afternoon flick. It was rather predictable in storyline but anyone starting that could figure that out 2 minutes in.Where it falls shortest is in the rehashing of the toe-pick joke from the first movie, I was only hoping they would hint at it until she finally said it. The other part was the bad 80s music which is OK if you're watching a brat pack spin off flick from pre 1992, in 2006 it just feels like the director was still in torn jeans and a Def Leppard shirt.If you're just looking for something easy going, or a movie to watch while recovering from major head surgery then you're set. I know it sounds mean, but I just wish these people would give a damn when they make a film to have it look better than a high school production of Grease.

Desertman84 The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold is a direct-to-video sequel that follows the romantic comedy,The Cutting Edge.It stars Christy Carlson Romano and Ross Thomas. Sean McNamara directs.In The Cutting Edge,the slightly arrogant hockey player Doug Dorsey and the snotty prima-donna ice skater Kate Moseley found themselves falling in love during a figure skating championship, while constantly at each other's throats.While in The Cutting Edge 2:Going For Gold,we meet the teenage daughter of Kate and Doug and singles figure skater,Jackie Dorsey.Ironically, Jackie finds herself traveling in the footsteps of her mom,when an ankle injury on the ice forces her to participate in double figure skating and take on a new partner. She soon teams up with Alex Harrison,an adrenaline-junkie surfer and in-line skater. And though Alex is officially tied to another girl, the partnership takes an intriguing turn when the two opt to go doubles for a skating championship, just like Jackie's parents once did. Soon, hints of romance between them fill the air. Could these two acerbic and bickering opposites end up in the end? Everyone knows the answer to that a hour before.The movie follows the footsteps of the original that includes familiar plot elements such as two incompatibles working together as a partner and the underdog theme in sports.Unfortunately,the leads - Christy Carlson Romano and Ross Thomas - does not have the same energy and chemistry of Sweeney and Kelly in the original to make it engaging and heartwarming.Added to that,the film could be quite overlong and boring unlike the first film which was definitely highly addictive that one could watch it many times and would not get tired of it.Aside from that,the sequel somewhat tries to copy many familiar scenes from the original film that one is very familiar with that one would accurately say that this is basically a rehash of the first film wherein it is centered on Kate's daughter,Jackie. The inclusion of the characters of Kate Mosley and Doug Dorsey,who are barely an interesting presence,as supporting characters made the movie only worse as the viewers familiar with the film would only draw comparisons on the two movies.It was a good thing that the original stars of the first film - D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly - rejected doing it and were not the ones playing those characters.The only good thing about it is that it has more realistic figure skating scenes to one would surely enjoy as even Sweeney admitted in a recent interview that the so-called Pamchenko twist in the first film is definitely very unrealistic and it could never be done in any figure skating competition including the Olympics as it was impossible to do so.This definitely does not hold a candle to the first film.No wonder it wasn't released in the theaters but only as a direct-to-video release.

Tanda This movie was cute enough for what it was, a sequel to, not a remake of, the original. It was the child of the duo from the first movie, facing similar problems to her mother. The relationship between mother and father, and between parents and child was never fully explored, rather we focused on the girl meets boy part. While it did indeed follow some of the same story lines as the first, it did not inspire us to go and grab our skates and get out on the ice as the first did. More time was spent on interpersonal relationships than on the skating. Characters were introduced with no explanation to their beings, and then not heard from for the rest of the movie. Also, some moments were more adult than they needed to be. However, overall, for a made-for-TV sequel, it was a squishy feel-good happy smiley movie.

cactuscab But I wound up watching this movie on a Sunday afternoon and I enjoyed it. Admittedly, I ingested six Shiner Bock's before viewing and a couple while watching it. Still, I stand by my positive review. I'm not going to try to defend the film in any intellectual way. It's no Kurosawa or Truffaut piece of work. I can only defend it in the same way I would a Journey song: Yes, it's corny, but I am drunk so screw you. Is that too confrontational? I'm sorry, I'm drunk. Whoops, I just spilled my beer. Party foul. At this point I'd go into an irrational diatribe about the Mariner's inept hitting at too loud a volume. Where was I? Oh, yeah. I have to say, the criticism of Christy Carlson Romano acting seems out of place. She's given a character that has no internal logic by the writers and does the best that could be done with it. Her scene at the door where she confesses her love for her partner is particularly good, to my senses. Any way, I feel kind of unmasculine now so I'm going to go watch Commando for the seven hundredth time. 6 stars.
