Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie is awesome! It's a total tear-jerker. I didn't know if it would be good or not the first time I saw it, but it was!
The story is sad at one point but the ending is happy.If you are an ice skater, you would enjoy this movie. Great actors as well! The music was good for the movie because it was dramatic and romantic. You will really like it! I know I did!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An all around good family show
Review: This movie is pretty good. Although there is some foul language, it is kept to a minimum, and not too obnoxious. This movie is a MUST for any young lady who has interest in the sport of skating, otherwise, it is a very good all around family show. It is both a good love story and story of overcoming adversity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sarah Hughes(Garry Hixon)
Review: This movie is probably hot right now because of what Sarah Hughes did at the olympics. Both 16, both fourth place overall, then both go on to triumph.Wonder who this girl is, Lynn-Holly Johnson? Could she really skate that good, is she another Sarah Hughes, some unknown talent that in Lynn's case was too good for actual competion.Lynn actually did come in second in the United States figure skating championships in 1974, but this movie was made in 1979, when Lynn was 21? Confusing? If this girl was this talented, how many more Lexi's are out there? I'm sure you'll like this movie, as there are'nt many ice skating movies out there, my friends are heavy metalers and even they have told me, I always end up crying at the end of that one!-love-Lexi!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You bet
Review: Who can forget this classic tear jerker? A teenager from the sticks is bound for the Olympics when tragedy stops the dream and only determination can win it back.

Robbie Benson is a confused college dropout who knows as little about love as he does about life. Alexis Winston is a young woman with extraordinary natural talent and dream to skate in the Olympics but filled with fear and confusion at the price success demands. Her father is an embittered widower who lives in the past and holds tight onto his daughter with two hands. The local skating rink is owned by Lexie's coach who was once a promising young skater but is now relegated to being the town's wacky character.

When things are going well, this quartet of dysfunctional people repeatedly hurt each other and themselves. But when tragedy strikes they band together with one goal in mind. Can they do it? You bet!

When my niece became interested in figure skating I rushed out and ordered this remembering it as a sweet story of love and skating and overcoming adversity. However, after reviewing it I have to admit that I think it will be years before she will be ready to deal with some of the adult language and situations presented in this drama.
