Here's the thing ... when you put a female in a leading role, you have to give the audience something worth seeing. First of all, Romano can't act -- even on the Disney Channel's Even Steven's, she's horrible. At least on Disney Channel, most of the audience is younger, and they don't seem to notice her terrible acting. But, in a movie... especially against someone as cute, sexy, and sassy as Ross Thomas... you have to provide a good leading lady. Whoever did the casting for this movie should be fired. And the story line... not great. I could have lived with it, but it seemed to try too hard to put in similarities from the first movie. Maybe with a better female in the lead, it could've been pulled off... but I doubt it. If there is a Cutting Edge III, keep Thomas, ditch Romano and hire a new writer.
