It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I really enjoyed this 1980s movie. I never ever seen this before and even worse, I never knew this movie existed until I watched it a few days ago! I have to say Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney were such talented ice skaters. Jesus they must've practiced for years before doing this film, their rhythm and speed are just spot on!I mean, skating isn't that easy but by god, they made it really rub it in your face in a good way lol!Very good winter romantic film, I give this a rating of 8/10!

I just recently discovered this movie and I have watched it I do not know how many times and will keep watching it. Sweeney and Kelly did an excellent job and would love to see them in more movies but that never happens so I guess I will just have to be content with watching this one. I have never written a comment before on any movie but had to voice my opinion on this one. I have also watched the cutting edge 2 and 3. I loved 2 but wish it could have had Sweeney and Kelly.Number 3 was disappointing. It was too much like the first with just changes in the characters and I did not like the fact that Jackie did not have Alex. It ruined the second one in the fact that they were not together. Some times I think I get too wrapped up in the movies I like. ha ha. Thank you for your attention. Lou

'Kate' (Moira Kelly, looking as beautiful as ever) is a gorgeous figure skater and 'Doug' (D.B. Sweeney) is a handsome hockey player who's come a long way, but only for lunch after he meets temperamental Moira.The two head-strong skaters are persuaded by their skating coach 'Anton' (Roy Dotrice, in an enlightening performance) to go pairs at the Nationals and then on to the Olympics while Anton and Kate's over-protective, but loving father 'Jack' (Terry O'Quinn) stand by and watch the fireworks.Engaging film with the refreshing quality of being about something different: a hockey player-turned-figure skater. Well-directed by Paul Michael Glaser.

This movie is one of those overlooked jewels that few paid attention to at the time of its release, and even fewer pay attention to all these years later, but if you want to witness SUPERB repartee - sexual tension at its purest and highest form, this movie just about can't be topped. Before actors started taking it all off and making everything so incredibly dark and over-sexualized, this movie created a deep web of emotions by means of incredibly clever, often poignant, dialogue that makes every single scene in this movie worth watching over and over again. I remember at the time it was released (I saw it in the theater opening weekend), I felt that Paul Michael Glaser's depiction of the actual ice skating scenes in the competition phase was disconnected and had no flow. I feel less so now, but whereas at the time that disconnect diminished the movie for me, it doesn't anymore, because every time I watch this movie, I am just more and more amazed at the incredibly clever dialogue between D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. This movie - believe it or not - sets The Standard for how two actors should spar on screen. And any two about-to-be-lovers who manage that kind of sparring in real life, well, they are INCREDIBLY BLESSED :-) I hope this review will get a few more people to watch this wonderful, upbeat, lovely gem......
