Marian20 The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing The Dream is the second sequel of the original cult classic that featured D.B.Sweeney and Moira Kelly entitled The Cutting Edge.In it,we get to see a story that involves a male figure skater in search of a new female partner after her previous one got injured.That happens to be Zach Conroy.In his own search,he discovers Alex Delgado,a talented hockey player when he gets to play with her brother and her as well after a skating scrimmage.After recruiting her,he recruits Jackie Dorsey,the main character of the second sequel as their coach. Sounds familiar? In the original cult classic,we get to see Doug Dorsey,a former hockey player gets recruited as a partner to a female figure skater,Kate Moseley.This time,some sort of a "sex change" occurs. LOLWell,this particular sequel was obviously in the same vein of the first film. Not only was it similar with that respect of having a hockey player become a figure skater. In addition to that,we also get to see romance develop between Alex and Zach as well as the "re- incarnation" of the Pamchenko twist in the final scene for them to win the gold medal. While many fans of the cult classic would consider this an exact replica of Tony Gilroy's screenplay, I probably would consider it a remake of sorts for the younger generation who were too young or weren't born yet when the original film was theatrically released.But if there is one big difference in it is the fact that there is less quarreling this time around between the two partners - Alex and Zach. That could be considered somewhat original with that respect.The screenplay just had one big one before the final skate and the final scene where both proclaim their love for one another.Overall,it was a decent sequel or remake and it would definitely be appreciated by the younger fans of the original classic.

Hunky Stud This TV movie would not be as good as it is, if Matt Lanter was not in it. He looks really pretty throughout the movie.Several stock scenes of Seattle were repeated in this movie. It was not necessary.During their "Paris" competition, it is obvious that the arena is the same as they used for the US national competition. And it looks totally unreal, because there was no advertisement around the skating area. And the signs were all in English.Matt was wearing all those skin tight hot looking, colorful lycra t-shirts which made him incredibly hot. Male figure skaters always wear those skin tight, fancy looking pants and tops when they compete. Why did the costume people give him those boring long sleeves shirt and regular pants to wear when he was competing? Unlike the "Cutting Edge 2" movie, the body doubles' faces were not very visible which is good.The story is almost predicable. Of course, this is expected for most of the inspirational movies.

disdressed12 i thought this movie was the weakest of the three movies,mainly because there's zero tension between the two main characters,and the story isn't really there.that's just my opinion,of course.there also isn't really any excitement,even in the skating sequences.i never really felt invested in the story or the characters.having said all that,i did find the movie passably entertaining,and i never felt bored.Christy Romano(Jackie Dorsey) has a very small role in the film,which is unfortunate.to me,this film had a TV movie feel to it,which isn't always a bad thing.i just expected more from this movie.it's not horrible,by any means,,but for me,it's about average.i give The Cutting Edge 3:Chasing the Dream a 5/10

jones-jaquan I love this movie and it is better than any of them. the music is great, especially the one named "it's to late to apologize" and the last song played at the final skating scene. The pan Chen jump is the sweetest skating move i've ever seen. This movie is a masterpiece you have to see and buy on DVD.!!!! I love this movie and its so engaging and it will make you want to get up and skate. The people in this movie are good looking and great extraordinary actors. I wish I was one but over all this movie is a one of a kind a thriller Its an exhilarating ride for Ice skate lovers everywhere!!!!! O MY GOD i love this movie really.
