I have to get a little gushy here. I love, love, love this movie! I can watch it again and again and still savour every moment. The two leads are perfectly cast in the forms of D B Sweeney and the gorgeous Moira Kelly. Even the minor and supporting parts show inspired casting e.g. Roy Dotrice as Pamshenko, the Russian skating coach. Kate's Dad has a smile to die for and the other competitors on the rink are superb with the border-line satire just hovering but never over-stepping the mark.
The skating sequences are beautifully edited and the tension is pitched at just the right level. The humour has humanity and is never profane. The story-line is a tried and true formula, but I still cry every time I watch it.
This is a movie you can share with your kids, your partner, your Mum, your mates.
Buy it, watch it, put it into your collection of best-loved movies---just like me!
A little dated but adorableApr 16, 2010
Yes, it's an old movie. And yes, it's very predictible. However, the two young actors where excellent and it parts of it were humorous and very entertaining.
I've seen this movie about 15 times over the years, and still enjoy it very mucy each time I watch it.

Great movie, outstanding acting!Mar 31, 2010
**SPOILER ALERT**
I recently caught The Cutting Edge on television late one evening while working at home. I was going to switch channels but when I saw and heard hockey and Olympic references I kept the channel there and am very glad I did; I was rewarded with a funny and heartwarming story that I might otherwise have ignored had I heard about the "romance" aspect. This movie was an absolute joy to watch thanks to the superb acting by all involved. Great acting has been lacking in so many movies I've seen lately, so go figure I can only find great acting in old movies...this one is 18yrs old now. Moira Kelly should have received an Oscar for her perfect portrayal of a snotty, selfish, spoiled rich girl with, as we find out later on, has a soft heart. Of course, that Moira is a stunningly natural beauty doesn't hurt, either. Her acting skills were top notch here and she is notably skillful at portraying emotion perfectly for the scene and dialog with perfect timing.
Along with DB Sweeney, the two actors had perfect chemistry and timing especially at the key points in the movie. The supporting actors and even the secondary background acting made The Cutting Edge so very watchable; it was well-written and the direction and final editing made this one worth watching again. So, I bought the DVD and it is just as entertaining viewing it again even though I know what happens; that's rare for many movies.
The ending is not a giveaway, but you can clearly see through the actors that they are falling in love but don't yet know it and then you begin to see how perfect they would be for each other...the balance so needed in a relationship. The "Kate Moseley" character so needs to be loved and DB Sweeney's "Doug" reveals the character is not as shallow as one may initially believe. I really enjoyed watching this movie and, because of the outstanding acting, will probably watch it once per year or so like I do with other well-done movies that have become perennial favorites. Highly recommended...and this review is coming from one who is not into romance movies at all. Almost forgot: the DVD quality is a very good quality transfer.
"You want my hands where?"Feb 26, 2010
- Doug's confession to his blue-collar buddies in a crowded bar: "I've been doing a little... figure skating."
- Doug's incredulous brother: "You've been doing what?"
- A confused voice from the back of the crowd: "Finger painting...?"
A manly man's guilty pleasure: I happen to think that THE CUTTING EDGE is a really good, fun movie, even with the sissy venue and the pretty, pretty outfits. It helps a guy viewer's sensibilities, though, that D.B. Sweeney plays a gritty, down-and-out hockey player who reluctantly shifts to figure skating.
She thinks he's a neanderthal. He thinks she's, um, temperamental - but maybe the voice-over in the movie trailer said it best: "She has a nickname that rhymes with 'rich.'" 45 seconds away from the Olympic gold medal, and then it all falls apart for gifted figure skater Kate Moseley and her just-not-cutting-it partner. Elsewhere, when Doug Dorsey suffers a horrible injury on the ice, it spells the end of his hockey career. Where else can Doug turn to but... pairs figure skating? He's willing to give it a try. His prickly new partner, Kate, is more skeptical, to put it nicely. She rages at her Russian coach, "What is this? Final stages of Ukrainian alcohol psychosis?" Not surprisingly, Kate Moseley goes thru skating partners like tissues (8 partners in 2 years). But we all know it's gonna work out... eventually. That is, after heaps of Kate's smirky "Toe pick!" remarks.
Not that the story breaks any new ground or anything, but even though it unfolds in conventional ways, it's graced with terrific dialogue, snappy heated banter, nicely developed character arcs, and, most notably, marvelous performances by D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. And it's no surprise, really, that their roles here are what folks remember most about them. In the bonus feature, Sweeney recounts past experiences in which he'd tripped on something and some stranger had inevitably called out, "Toe pick!"
Sweeney and Kelly bring a palpable heat, some really nice chemistry. D.B. Sweeney is likable from the start, coming off as a regular cat. Moira Kelly has the trickier part because her character is such a, uh, demanding diva. But we eventually do get to see her vulnerable side, and your heart goes to her. Still, she's really great at delivering that offended, nose-turned-up look. Anyway, the contentious rivalry, the training montages, the class war (he comes from a working class community, she's from a filthy rich family), the falling in love unwillingly, the big skating finale at the end as they go for the gold and break out the unholily brutal Pamchenko Twist... these are all easily predicted signposts. But how can you not get pulled in? THE CUTTING EDGE is irresistible stuff, and very romantic.
This DVD is the "Gold Medal Edition" and includes three bonus features: a sneak peek at THE CUTTING EDGE: GOING FOR THE GOLD (which, by the way, features neither D.B. nor Moira and isn't nearly as good); the original theatrical trailer; and "THE CUTTING EDGE: Reflections from the Ice" - an 11-minute-long retrospective as Sweeney and Kelly reminisce about their experiences in making the film. We learn, among other things, that both leads had to learn how to skate in prepping for this movie and that Moira Kelly broke her ankle in the first week of shooting.

A must see romantic MovieNov 11, 2009
It is a quick moving movie with great camera shots. The story line is heartwarmingly romantic about two Olympic skaters. One is a Hockey Player and the other is a 'couple figure skater'. And how there paths collide. The comedy is light hearted and but real to the characters being portrayed. You feel thier struggle and share in their truiumph. And laugh with their relationship. It is a feel good movie all the way through.
