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.

- Great DVD!
Enjoyed the DVD! When I ordered the DVD on line, it took them three days to get it to me. Great customer service and always dependable. I can't wait for the BluRay edition!

- Cutting Edge DVD
I have watched this movie since it came out on VHS. Finally I decided to buy it on DVD. It is a really cute movie.

Rating:

- Not a Family Movie
This movie has many scenes where the leading man is in and out if bed with numerous women. It also has a fair amount of swearing. These things ruin a movie for family viewing. I was expecting a clean, romantic story.

Rating:

- A great movie to feel good with.
I rented this movie on a WHIM because I am a shoot-em up and gunsmoke lover. I found myself engrossed in the highs and lows , one liners and super acting displayed in this movie for a very enjoyable evening of entertainment. It kept my interest to the very last. I guess I'm just a sucker for love in the movies. I went on line and ordered the movie for my collection. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie, you will not be sorry. In some ways it's very much like A Christmas Card or A special Night, both of which I also bought.There is no need to cover the story line as others have done a far better job than I could have.

Rating:

- A classic, great duo.
This is a movie we watch at least twice a year.....we love the one liners. This is one of our favorites.....we lent it out and never got it back, so I am replacing it.
