Better
OK, not sure why I felt compelled to comment on this movie, but having now sat through both the original (pretty good), the 2nd one (awful), and this one (much better), I have a good basis of comparison. This was not high art, but it was a FAR better movie than the 2nd one. the key here being a pair of relatively unknown actors in the leads who did a nice job and had real chemistry (especially the female lead who was full of bounce and sass without being obnoxious). The leads in the second one were so horribly awkward it was like pulling teeth, but here you have likable and sympathetic characters. And the script lets them be likable too -- another thing that the 2nd movie got horribly wrong. Unfortunately parts of the script are also the biggest weaknesses with this movie. There a handful of awkward scenes, and down the back half of the movie it was as if they hired some hack to try to artificially find some way to plagiarize as much of the original movie as possible and force it into this one, even when the pacing and fit was off. But any romance is basically about the romantic leads. If they succeed and work well together, then the romance works. If they don't, it doesn't. Well, in this one they did. And so, not a classic, but eminently watchable for this sort of thing.
Way better than the second part
I saw it last night and loved it. I loved the first one too. It was one of my favorite romantic movies. When the second one was announced, I was so excited. But the movie disappointed me because although the protagonist are great, the movie was slow. In some scenes, they weren't acting natural. I aren't accusing the protagonists maybe the guilty one was the director... who knows? It was such a pity. On the other hand, this movie is way better than the second one. It is fantastic. The chemistry was there and the movie was smooth and sweet. He is so handsome and she is gorgeous. They made such a cute couple. The only "but" was the ending. It was almost an exact replica of the first one. How sad, the plot was different and refreshing. Regardless of that, it is a nice romantic movie.
wow
I LOVE the original CE. And the second was okay too. But the 3rd just doesn't cut it. So they set up two new lead male and female characters, and bring back Christy Carlson Romano, switch a few MINOR details, and yet it still didn't make me feel a thing. They brought a new male skater who is really hot and a good actor and skater. But the girl just couldn't carry her performance along his side. The chemistry between the two leads fells almost forced. But Romano does give a more solid job in this movie as their badass coach. The love story AND ending is SHOCKINGLY similar, just with more drama regarding the male character's previous relationship. Oh, and there is an engagement in this part too. This movie is nothing special but will help as mindless entertainment.
Better than the second, thats for sure.
I loved the first Cutting Edge, and as a figure skater myself, it's fun to watch movies all about the sport I love. When the second CE came out, I immediately wanted to watch it. But as I watched it, I became more and more disappointed. First of all, Kate and Doug weren't played by the regular actors, which saddened me. Second, the movie was slow and confusing at times. It seemed like the only thing they did was fight! Finally, when Chasing the Dream was announced, I was excited, yet skeptical. I didn't know what to expect, since the second one was a disappointment. I didn't watch it on ABC Family, but I came across it at the video rental place and rented it. I watched it and I immediately decided that it was better than the second CE. I could feel the chemistry between the main characters, and even the actors. I was very excited that they brought back the deadly Pamchenko twist, too. Even for a few minor goofs, it was still and awesome movie, and I want to buy it on DVD now so that on a boring day I can liven up by watching my new favorite movie! I recommend this to every Cutting Edge fan, and even those who don't like the Cutting Edge films, because even they could enjoy this fantastic, dramatic, romantic movie that makes my heart melt every time I hear Alexandra say "Yes, I will skate with you...always."
Addictive and Motivating
I can describe this movie in one word "Addictive". I loved the first Cutting Edge, and I liked the second but I can not remember the last time a movie has had such an impact. Matt and Francia were wonderful actors and along with the whole cast, they brought this movie to life and made it seem real. It reminds me of the start of mine and my husband's relationship. When I found out this movie was coming on TV I had to record it and have watched it every night since. The story line, the music and the skating draw you in and make you feel a part of this movie. If you are a skater, ice or roller you will be "Motivated" to go skating after this movie. If you like Romance and Skating this is definitely a Must See Movie and Must Have DVD.
