The plot to this movie was cute, I guess, but they should have tried a little harder with the actual skating scenes. For a figure skater competing at nationals I would expect her to actually be able to do at least one triple jump. And to qualify for worlds barely being able to do a triple? Absolutely not. The spins were not impressive, and when they tried to pass off a triple loop as a triple axel??? I mean come on people. An axel jump is the ONLY figure skating jump you enter from a forward edge...I don't know how they thought their audience wouldn't notice that. If you want a good movie about a romance between a hockey player and a figure skater watch The Cutting Edge. Even though some of the skating in that isn't great, at least it's better than whatever the hell this was. But hey, if you know nothing, and I mean NOTHING, about figure skating, you might not even notice there's anything wrong.
