I was going to post about it but forgot. It was *SO* bad. I almost didn't make it all the way through. Bad bad bad bad bad. I love the original.

I didn't last five minutes; I was too busy yelling things like "This better not be senior nationals if she can win with doubles!" and "NO LYRICS IN SINGLES SKATING!" and "OMFG triple axel, I don't *think* so!" and "Why is the ice so scratched up, they should slide when they fall" and "Why are the scratching noises SO LOUD" and finally "Dear God, that isn't really Moira Kelly, is it?" and then I turned it off because I COULD NOT STAND IT anymore.

Waaah.

No, Moira Kelly and DB Sweeny were not in it - which I can only think was a good career move, but could possibly have made it better.

I just wrote up a handy review/synopsis for you, so you don't have to try to watch it again.

So bad.

Ohhhh, bless your heart!

What was that!?

I liked the boy.

But Colton Shore as Doug? Stepfanie Cramer as Kate? What crack were the casting directors smoking? The daughter, didn't grab me and the whole blonde bitch trying to keep her hooks in the idiot guy -- it was just SAD.

The only thing that scored the movie any points was the one 'toepick'.

I don't know why I watched it either.

Because I am a masochist, I watched it all of the way through. It's not even in the same league as the first one. The thing that bugged me the most was the lighting for the rinks. Amateur competitions are not held in the dark!

brightcupenny March 15 2006, 04:36:40 UTC

God, yes, that too! And the bizarre bunting/draping things around the rink and the complete lack of audience and apparently the ice was made out of concrete because the skates were SO LOUD on the ice. And all the stuff I wailed about above. And all of that was in the first five minutes.

I need to go rewatch the original and get this terrible taste out of my mouth.

Oh God. Those are two hours of your life you'll never have back!!

I saw a review in Entertainment Weekly of it, that was knocking all of the flaws (such as the ages being unrealistic, etc), stating what a bad idea the movie was, but then still giving it like 3 stars or something positive. Made no sense. I think they were trying to say that if you ignore everything that's wrong with it, its not that bad, but your post and comments seem to prove otherwise.

*shudders at the thought of the movie*

In the beginning, I hadn't realized the writers (it seems generous to call them that, since Chris pointed out they pretty much did a find-and-replace on the original script) were stupid enough to set this one at Torino. Hmmm, 2006-1992 = 14, so even if the daughter was conceived immediately after the long program (hee) she'd only be 13. And yet there was Christy Carlson Romano driving a car and drinking wine and talking about spending the rest of her life with stupid surfer boy.

Like a good friend, I offer you the toepick to gouge your eyes out. :) You almost make me want to see the sequel just to mst it all the way through.

Go back and watch the pretty skating of Cutting Edge. *waves hand* There is no sequel.

brightcupenny March 16 2006, 22:54:22 UTC

It's not even worth seeing it to MST. I bitched to julietvalcouer the whole way through, and I still had to put it on mute a *lot* and fast-forward several times.
