Sweeney) and the snotty prima-donna ice skater Kate Moseley (Moira Kelly) found themselves falling in love during a figure skating championship, while constantly at each other's throats. Fourteen years have passed since the marriage of Kate and Doug, and in Cutting Edge 2: Going for the Gold the direct-to-video sequel to the original film, we meet the couple's teenage daughter, figure skater Jackie (Christy Carlson Romano, Everyone Says I Love You). Ironically, Jackie finds herself traveling in the footsteps of her mom, when an ankle injury on the ice forces her to take on a new partner. She soon teams up with Alex Harrison (Ross Thomas, CSI) an adrenaline-junkie surfer and in-line skater. And though Alex is officially tied to another girl, the partnership takes an intriguing turn when the two opt to go doubles for a skating championship, just like Jackie's folks once did. Soon, hints of romance between them fill the air. Could these two acerbic, bickering opposites ever find lasting happiness? The Cutting Edge 2: Going for the Gold features a cameo by world-champion figure skater Oksana Baiul. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

This movie fell short of catching what the first one had. Good acting. Didn't like this adaption at all.

Not as good as the first, but okay.

"To win, you have to be willing to fail." Jackie (Christy Carlson Romano of Disney Channel's Even Steven) is the daughter of the Gold Medal-winning Olympic skaters Kate and Doug who is forced to take on a new partner because of an ankle injury on the ice. She soon teams up with cute and sexy Alex Harrison, played by Ross Thomas, an adrenaline-junkie surfer and skater. The partnership takes an intriguing turn when the two opt to go doubles for a skating championship. Soon, hints of romance between them fill the air but then Alex's old girlfriend re-enters the picture right before the Olympics which causes friction between Jackie and Alex jeopardizing their chances of winning. It's not worth winning if you don't fight for it."
