The review of this Movie prepared by Evan McKearn
Blue-collar hockey star Doug Dorsey (D.B. Sweeney) is devastated by an eye injury that all but ruins his chances of fame and success on the ice. Or so he thinks until a pairs figure skating coach approaches him with the opportunity to make the Olympic team...as a figure skater. Doug sneers at figure skating but decides to give it a try and then he meets Kate Moseley, his new partner, the Ice Queen. Kate's been unable to keep any partners because of her witchy attitude and demands. She's a spoiled rich girl and she and Doug spar and fight constantly throughout their training. Of course they are falling in love without realizing it, even though Kate is engaged to a wealthy man. While there is a good deal of figure skating in the movie, this is more of a romantic comedy. The chemistry between the actors is real and palpable, and this saves "The Cutting Edge" from being just another sports movie.
