A young ice skater injures herself and has to team up with a roguish hunk to compete at the Olympics.
Now this is never going to win any awards for originality but I think everyone understands that when they commit to watching it.
All the elements ares there, comedy, romance, betrayal, redemption, etc. etc.
I think Christy Romano is a beautiful and expressive actress and she seems very at home here as does Ross Thomas. The two make a cute couple and there are some great scenes of them bickering on and off the ice.
The problems with this film are really endemic of the format. I had to take three runs at this film as the opening scene is so cheap it put me off. The limitation in the budget shows through in places, especially with the crowd scenes at the competitions.
There are a few seconds of unnecessary CGI that are just plain bad, a step ladder and a watering can would have done a much better job.
The victory move is quite laughable but kind of in keeping with the film.
A great Sunday afternoon watch.
