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.

Customer Reviews of The Cutting Edge - Gold Medal Edition
A great movie but is it the same as the theatrical release? I remember seeing this movie years ago in college and have continued to like it ever since. The movie starts off at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Doug Dorsey (D.B. Sweeny) is a talented hockey player and Kate Mosley (Moira Kelly) is a pairs figure skater. Both have mishaps during their big moments, Doug suffering a career ending injury and Kate falling during her performace and failing to meet her own expectations. <

>The movie picks up a few years later with Kate having trouble getting a new partner and Doug is on the skids unable to fulfill his dream of becoming a star hockey player. Added to the mix is Kate's Russian couch Anton Pamchenko (played by the great Roy Dotrice) who decides Rick will be Kate's new partner as they struggle to get back to the 1992 Olympics. <

>At first glance this is a sports movie about figure skating, but that is not entirely so. The scenes involving the leads on the ice are surprisingly abstract as neither is a professional skater. In truth this is a character driven story and most of the action takes place off the ice. It is absolutely charming to watch the two lead characters go from a dislike of one another, to extreme rivalry and finally ending up in love. The thing that absolutely makes this happen is the chemestry between the leads Sweeney and Kelly. They are magic together on the screen, so much so that I am surprised they never paired up again for another movie. <

>I highly recommend this light hearted romance to everyone. <

>On a side note about the DVD, the only special feature is the theatrical trailer. There are no deleted scenes. This is where I have a question, because the version of the film on this DVD and that I've scene on TV in recent years is not the one I remember seeing in college. I distinctly remember the end scene was the medal ceremony. I somewhat like that version because what Doug and Kate won in that version was so much more. So where is the version with the alternative ending????
Great!!!!!
I have always been a fan. I really can't say much more. If you find a picture you can watch over and over again and it still remains fresh and new then there is no other option than to own that picture until you wear out the DVD.
"The Odd Couple" on ice...
Just as "Ice Castles" had inspired a generation of ice-skaters in the late-70s', in 1992 the romantic comedy THE CUTTING EDGE created a similar effect when it burst onto the screen. An hilarious and touching movie, filled with great performances and a well-handled screenplay by Tony Gilroy.

>Doug Dorsey (played by D.B. Sweeney) is an injured former hockey player, who finds himself playing skate-partner to tiresome, pampered prima donna Kate Moseley (Moira Kelly). Before you can say "double axle", Kate begins her systematic plan to get rid of Doug using whatever means possible...but she doesn't count on Doug being every bit as tough as she is! As the pair begin to skate towards Olympic glory, could their fiery, "Odd Couple" relationship ever blossom into love?

>Both Sweeney and Kelly offer fine performances and their chemistry carries the whole film nicely. Roy Dotrice is a hoot playing Kate's addled Russian skate coach and the cast also features Terry O'Quinn, Dwier Brown, Chris Benson, Rachelle Ottley and Kevin Peeks.
