The Cutting Edge

I liked the basic idea of this film — a hockey player who loses his place in hockey and a figure skater who needs a new partner being brought together. I enjoyed watching them go from not really knowing each other to slowly forming a bond and becoming a team, and you could see the romantic storyline developing alongside that.

I also liked the training and seeing them improve together. There was definitely a good foundation for a really enjoyable sports romance, and I can understand why this film has become a classic for so many people.

For me though, it just didn’t completely keep my attention. I found myself waiting for it to pick up at times, and while I enjoyed the story, I didn’t connect with it enough to want to watch it again. It’s a sweet film with a good story at its heart, but unfortunately it wasn’t one that completely grabbed me.
