May contain Spoilers: When I watched the trailer for this movie, I immediately wanted to see it. Although, when I finally saw it, I found it to be a disappointment. All of the actors did well, they couldn't have helped this movie, though. It was the writing that was terrible and unrealistic. FIrst of all, speaking from experience, competitive athletes do not treat their rivals in that manor. Most are very polite and encourage the other athletes. Second, no coach would buy their own athlete a brand new pair of skates (or grips, gloves, mitts) right before a competition. Like the character Zoe said, it takes around ten days to break in. Then, Casey goes back to that coach to train! Thats ridiculous! Also, an athlete that is a minor must have parent permission to compete in any sport. It is unrealistic that her mother would not have any knowledge of her daughter skating. This movie was more of people yelling, crying, and treating others like dirt than a heartwarming family film. Why was there such a feud between Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall's characters? It's like they were just being jerks without a reason, what's up with that? The only good thing I can say about this movie was the actors did an excellent job with their skating! If I'm not mistaken, young Hayden Panettiere could barely ice skate when she started this project, and now she is a very talented young skater. This was not the best movie that it could have been and I am quite disappointed with the writing, make no mistake, the actors did their best with a worthless script, it's the writers and whoever approved the script to blame.
