NHL prospect Doug Dorsey (D.B. Sweeney) is injured in an Olympic hockey game which leaves him unable to play professionally. Pairs skater Kate Moseley (Moira Kelly) is an ill-tempered figure skater who no one will pair up with after a fall during the same Olympic games. With nowhere else to go, Kate's coach (Roy Dotrice) brings in Doug as a potential partner, although Doug has no figure skating experience. Kate is none too thrilled about this arrangement and tries to antagonize Doug into leaving, but his strong work ethic and lack of options convinces him to stay in it, to the point that he begins to like figure skating! The pair undergo gruelling, rigorous training to finalize a program for U.S. National championships - and from there, the Olympics and a possible gold medal...

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Total chick flick, and I love every minute of it.

DB and Moira have such great chemistry in this movie. I love the hell out of this movie. I always pop it in when I want a fun movie to watch.

Best line of the film: TOE-PICK!

When I was stuck in Alaska working for a summer, we only had access to a few movies (no TV and only one radio station). This was one of them, so we watched it a lot.

Like you said, the chemistry between Doug and Kate is actually pretty good. It keeps us interested. It was actually pretty fun to watch once you memorized all of the dialogue.

Is it at least entertaining? Any comedy or just straight romance?

My wife and I love the movie. It doesn't watch like a chick flick IMO and in fact has many elements of a feel good sports movie. It also has plenty of humor and Moira Kelly in tight fitting outfits.
