Critic Reviews

  • Nick Sylvester, Village Voice

    The surprisingly twisty plot skates along with zero friction, giving new meaning to 'Disney on Ice.'

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    There are far too many cringe-inducing clichés and gaping plot holes.

  • Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

    The movie does have a strong sense of the special charisma and beauty of these young demons of grace who ride the thin line between dance and sport with unerring precision.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    Trachtenberg is thoroughly believable, an unspoiled charmer. Her rise from clumsy girl to someone brimming with confidence and the author of one heckuva physics project, she's a pretty cool princess to root for.

  • Susan Walker, Toronto Star

    Watching this week's world figure skating championships in Moscow, one wonders why the scriptwriters went to such artificial lengths. There's drama enough in the sport as it is.

    Awful kids film. The music is the only thing that gives you any emotion in this film since the acting and narrative is dull.

  • Jim C


    A chick flick that bored the crap out of me. This is not worth anyone time, even with a few good moments in the film.

  • Cassie H


    Such a great movie about following your heart & your dreams. Michelle Trachtenberg was awesome as was the rest of the cast.

  • Bethany M


    I really enjoyed this. I love to watch people ice skate and the love between the two characters was beautiful. A really nice chick flick. A must see!

  • Spencer S


    A cute little film that needed a little momentum. Kattrall was stellar, as was Trachtenberg.
