Description:
Moira Kelly (Dangerous Beauty, "The West Wing") and D. B. Sweeney (Roommates, Memphis Belle) star as polar opposites who unite on the ice for a shot at Olympic gold in this inspirational romantic comedy from acclaimed director Paul M. Glaser (The Running Man). Brimming with wit, charm and plenty of breathtaking sports action, The Cutting Edge is a real winner!

She's a rich and refined pairs figure skater whose prima donna attitude has her skating solo. He's a brash, blue-collar hockey champion with a new injury and no future. With nothing in common but their dream of reaching the Olympics, Kate and Doug are each other's last resort. Reluctantly, they join forces, but its not long before the barbs – and sparks – start flying as the unlikely pair skate towards the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance at a medal...and a chance at love.

Amazon.com:
As far as ice-skating movies go (or those that prominently feature the cold-bladed sport), this romantic movie is one of the best, thanks to utterly charming performances by underrated actors D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. The couple play, respectively, a washed-up hockey player and a prima-donna skater who end up in doubles figure skating together at the Winter Olympics. Of course, the mismatched pair fall in love. In between, there's a lot of verbal sparring, talk of toe picks, and surprisingly skillful directing by Paul Michael Glaser (Kazaam, The Air Up There). Direction here is critical--unlike in Flashdance, where the dancing was done in the shadows, face and feet obviously shot separately--and The Cutting Edge credibly highlights the actors and their professional stand-ins. This is such a fun, sweet story that the facts the film takes liberties with--including the alacrity with which a hockey player takes to Olympic-level figure skating--are easily forgivable. --N.F.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not a Family Movie
This movie has many scenes where the leading man is in and out if bed with numerous women. It also has a fair amount of swearing. These things ruin a movie for family viewing. I was expecting a clean, romantic story.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A great movie to feel good with.
I rented this movie on a WHIM because I am a shoot-em up and gunsmoke lover. I found myself engrossed in the highs and lows , one liners and super acting displayed in this movie for a very enjoyable evening of entertainment. It kept my interest to the very last. I guess I'm just a sucker for love in the movies. I went on line and ordered the movie for my collection. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie, you will not be sorry. In some ways it's very much like A Christmas Card or A special ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A classic, great duo.
This is a movie we watch at least twice a year.....we love the one liners. This is one of our favorites.....we lent it out and never got it back, so I am replacing it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Cutting Edge
As expected, an old plot, a very old plot, done with new technology, new faces and in color. Like an ice cream sundae, always good for a few minutes of relaxation, with no lingering negative after effects.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - awesome
I loved this movie. It was awesome. Its the frist in a set of three. The story is beautiful. It shows triumph over both personal and physical tribulations. And the loves story was beautiful. The stars were perfect for their parts. Cast well done. This is just and over all perfect movie.
