Description: Moira Kelly (Dangerous Beauty, "The West Wing") and D. B. Sweeney (Roommates, Memphis Belle) star as polar opposites who unite on the ice for a shot at Olympic gold in this inspirational romantic comedy from acclaimed director Paul M. Glaser (The Running Man). Brimming with wit, charm and plenty of breathtaking sports action, The Cutting Edge is a real winner! She's a rich and refined pairs figure skater whose prima donna attitude has her skating solo. He's a brash, blue-collar hockey champion with a new injury and no future. With nothing in common but their dream of reaching the Olympics, Kate and Doug are each other's last resort. Reluctantly, they join forces, but its not long before the barbsand sparksstart flying as the unlikely pair skate towards the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance at a medal...and a chance at love.
Amazon.com: As far as ice-skating movies go (or those that prominently feature the cold-bladed sport), this romantic movie is one of the best, thanks to utterly charming performances by underrated actors D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. The couple play, respectively, a washed-up hockey player and a prima-donna skater who end up in doubles figure skating together at the Winter Olympics. Of course, the mismatched pair fall in love. In between, there's a lot of verbal sparring, talk of toe picks, and surprisingly skillful directing by Paul Michael Glaser (Kazaam, The Air Up There). Direction here is critical--unlike in Flashdance, where the dancing was done in the shadows, face and feet obviously shot separately--and The Cutting Edge credibly highlights the actors and their professional stand-ins. This is such a fun, sweet story that the facts the film takes liberties with--including the alacrity with which a hockey player takes to Olympic-level figure skating--are easily forgivable. --N.F.

The Cutting Edge As expected, an old plot, a very old plot, done with new technology, new faces and in color. Like an ice cream sundae, always good for a few minutes of relaxation, with no lingering negative after effects.
awesome I loved this movie. It was awesome. Its the frist in a set of three. The story is beautiful. It shows triumph over both personal and physical tribulations. And the loves story was beautiful. The stars were perfect for their parts. Cast well done. This is just and over all perfect movie.
The Cutting Edge-Gold medal edition Loved the movie, first saw it on TV, a great starter to the other two movies that follow it
Good movie, nice extras I love this movie. Two hard to get a long with people lost thier chance at the Gold for the Olympics. One a spoiled rich girl the other an arrogant philanderer who lost peripheral vision and works in a bar. Now these 2 must compete together in order to get the gold. If they dont kill each other first. Its just awesome to watch these 2 together.
In this special edition you get to see the actors interviewed now (some ten years later) It only about 20 minutes worth but I really enjoyed it.
The Cutting Edge-1st movie I was very impressed with this 1st movie-I had both the 2nd & 3rd movie. The vendor was timely & the movie was great!! I also checked the special features & learned about how the skaters had done with their ice skating. I was very impressed with both the skaters & the way the movie was done.
