bkoganbing Disney Studios produced this nice family film about young Jordan Hinson who wants more than anything to be a champion figureskater. Russian skating instructor Cristina Rose offers to take her on, but she has to get into this prep school where she is and the only way is through a girl's hockey scholarship. And not field hockey, the real deal on ice.The coach owes Rose and takes Hinson on without actually intending to play her and the other girls on the team resent her at first and they don't even know she's really a figureskater whom they disparage as a twirl girl. But figureskating has taught her a few moves and the fact is she combines her worlds.We even get an appearance from real life Olympic medalist Krista Yamaguchi who is Hinson's idol. All in all a nice story about a young figureskater.

bonange Yes, it was a sweet theme, that girls can choose for themselves who they want to be. And, it's always great to see a movie about figure skating, a sport that can always use more attention from commercial sponsors. But let's be real. No figure skater would ever be so stoooopid as to believe that she could use hockey skates to do a double toe jump. Since when do hockey skates have toe picks? Duh, duh, duh. Why couldn't they have had a more realistic movie about girls and sports? Disney has such a massive reach. I wish the producers had combined their commercial interests with a greater shot of reality. That would have been an entertaining *and* realistic movie. Not so much to ask, is it?

scissorhands_emily This was a Disney Channel Original Movie, so it can't be expected to be a masterpiece, but it was entertaining and had a good theme.It centers around Katelin who is one of the best figure skaters around where she lives. A Russian figure skating coach decides to help make her the best, but her parents won't pay for her to go to boarding school. By pulling a few strings Natasha(the Russian coach) manages to get her a full scholarship at the same school, but for hockey instead. Katelin has to work extra hard if she wants to be the best. As well as keeping it a secret that she's a figure skater because all the girls on the hockey team despise figure skaters.The movie was good. The story was somewhat unrealistic(like in the aspect that she gets a full scholarship for a hockey team), but not way predictable. It entertained me and had me rooting for Katelin. I'd recommend it to all kids around 14 or so and younger. And to parents if they can understand that it's aimed at the kids and not them.

choirfreaklol This movie was entertaining (as other users have stated)! Although some of the information, in the movie, was inaccurate, some of it was true.The way the writers and characters explained the life of the figure skaters and of the hockey players was kind of confusing, considering all the back and forth of the backgrounds and time periods. Also as another user commented, why wouldn't a teacher or a normal person walking in the hallway ask why the girl was covered in purple paint. Most teachers are worried about the well being of the students.They have to be a little more realistic and explain a little more about what is going on. And, most figure skaters aren't so much about make up and "GLITTER". It's about fulfilling your dreams at what you are good at.Although I don't know too much about judging movies, this movies had a good point and had a good "lesson" to learn. It was a little enlightening but it didn't have a very good focal point. It also didn't go too much into detail about the main character's life, so we/the viewer could know more about the persons background and what she has accomplished before she went to her new school.Well as I have already stated, this movie was good, but it needed to be more realistic and self explanatory.
