The Cutting Edge Reviews
Great!!!!!
I have always been a fan. I really can't say much more. If you find a picture you can watch over and over again and it still remains fresh and new then there is no other option than to own that picture until you wear out the DVD.
A great movie but is it the same as the theatrical release?
I remember seeing this movie years ago in college and have continued to like it ever since. The movie starts off at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Doug Dorsey (D.B. Sweeny) is a talented hockey player and Kate Mosley (Moira Kelly) is a pairs figure skater. Both have mishaps during their big moments, Doug suffering a career ending injury and Kate falling during her performace and failing to meet her own expectations.
The movie picks up a few years later with Kate having trouble getting a new partner and Doug is on the skids unable to fulfill his dream of becoming a star hockey player. Added to the mix is Kate's Russian couch Anton Pamchenko (played by the great Roy Dotrice) who decides Rick will be Kate's new partner as they struggle to get back to the 1992 Olympics.
At first glance this is a sports movie about figure skating, but that is not entirely so. The scenes involving the leads on the ice are surprisingly abstract as neither is a professional skater. In truth this is a character driven story and most of the action takes place off the ice. It is absolutely charming to watch the two lead characters go from a dislike of one another, to extreme rivalry and finally ending up in love. The thing that absolutely makes this happen is the chemestry between the leads Sweeney and Kelly. They are magic together on the screen, so much so that I am surprised they never paired up again for another movie.
I highly recommend this light hearted romance to everyone.
On a side note about the DVD, the only special feature is the theatrical trailer. There are no deleted scenes. This is where I have a question, because the version of the film on this DVD and that I've scene on TV in recent years is not the one I remember seeing in college. I distinctly remember the end scene was the medal ceremony. I somewhat like that version because what Doug and Kate won in that version was so much more. So where is the version with the alternative ending????
