Synopsis

A world class ice skater eager to take the top prize in the biggest competition around finds his dreams going up in flames after his partner suffers a debilitating injury in this romantic sports drama starring Matt Lanter, Francia Rosa, and Christy Carlson Romano. Zack (Lanter) was headed for the gold when his partner suffered an injury that made competing impossible, but could a feisty female hockey player prove the key to keeping his illustrious career on track? Alexandra is an amateur Latina hockey player who has never skated professionally and doesn't much care for Zack, though a little determination goes a long way in helping Zack convince her to join him on the ice. Now, as this unlikely pair begins the arduous training process that could make them both bona-fide superstars, the girl with the icy attitude finds her handsome partner's warmth and charm bringing about a most unexpected thaw.

Megan-Erienne I really loved the first one, and usually the second ones arn't as good. But i felt this one was really good. I loved the intensity and it kept me on my toes all i wanted to do was watch it again and a again. I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes these types of movies. I felt this one is maybe more so for kids than the first one. It seems to concintrate on a younger generation, which is a awesome thing. The first thing i am doing today is going to buy it so i can watch it over and over again. I wouldn't really recommend it for men/boys it's kinda more of a chick flick. I loved the story line of this one and the mantality of the actors. And of course the guy Zack is very very good looking.
blakvelvt269 I loved this movie, however, I am forced to recognize other people's comments as valid. And just a historical fact the Winter Olympics are only held every for years. The end of the movie they win the Gold. This was supposed to be them at the Olympics right? And someone mentioned the line delivered by Christy Carlson Ramono about it being 5 years since seeing each other at the last Olympics and they still had like 5 weeks before qualifying point is time-lines for all three movies are off. From The Cutting Edge to Going For The Gold, she was an adult in the movie yet like another person mentioned it would have been impossible for her to be but 13-14 years old mathematically. And the transition to the 3rd movie is mentioned as 5 years, but the banner says 2006, which means it had to be 2 years. IF you can overlook the time-line, I think all 3 movies have their upsides and their drops. It's a toss-up for me whether the original or the third is better. I think the third is more appealing to the younger crowd, but the first one will definitely be the classic.
SkergrL2108 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."
NYlife Man, this movie should've been called "Wasted Talent" because that's what it is, I'm not gonna hold back because Christy Romano is a Talented Actress that has yet to bust loose because of a certain "Transformers" actor & I DON'T MEAN OPTIMUS PRIME OR MEGATRON!. This is a hack & slash job of a Bad movie. Christy can do ANYTHING in the world & I'd still love her work, but this is by & large the biggest mess of a movie. It just took the worst of the first two films & pasted it together. Christy had nothing to do & what's worst I had more fun watching cheese age. I'd rather be paid money to watch Ben Affleck & J.Lo in Gigli. With only one exception that Christy Romano is awesome talent this movie shouldn't have been made.
