NEW Cutting Edge (DVD)

this is one of my all time favourite movies.i went to see it when it
opened in 1992,and liked it so much i saw it several more times.(I
immediately had a crush on Moira Kelly and still do,to this day)it's
basically the story of pairs figure skater Kate Mosely(Moira Kelly)who
is on the verge of Olympic gold at the 1988 Olympics,but disaster
strikes,and Kate's dream of an Olympic gold medal seem
shattered.because Kate is a primadonna,she can not find any partner to
work with her,despite her immense talent.meanwhile,US amateur hockey
superstar Doug Dorsey(D.B Sweeney)is forced to retire due to a career
ending injury and his dream of pro hockey evaporates.I don't want to
say too much more,but put it this way: two years later,these two wind
up as training partners in a bid for Olympic Gold in 1992,and since
they are both from completely different worlds,you can imagine what
happens next.anyway,this movie has it a all,great dialogue(especially
the interplay and barbs shot back and forth between Kate and Doug)very
well choreographed skating sequences,perfect music,amazing chemistry
between the two leads.and,of course,romance,with some comedy.this movie
is very well paced,with no spots which drag at all.as for the two
leads,i don't think you could find a better match than Kelly and
Sweeney.every time i watch this movie,it is better than the last.trust
me,if you haven't seen "The Cutting Edge",you owe it to yourself to do
so.it's just a great film. 5/5

i first seen the film 12 years ago and fell in love with it, i am a figure skater myself. i have lost my copy of the film and came on to this site to see if i can get a new one as i have know been going out with my own ice hockey player. see dreams do come true x

First things first, the price tag on this DVD is so low because it offers none of the extras that people buy DVD's for. The only extra is the theatrical trailer.

But if you want to watch a movie that will leave you smiling and wanting to press play again, this is it! Sure it follows a formula and you can see the end coming from a mile away but the lead actors are so good that you get wrapped up in the story despite yourself. You will forgive the implausibility of the plot and the swiftness with which Doug Dorsey learns to figure skate and all the other distractions and just bask in the chemistry of D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. I love this movie more everytime I watch it.
