February 21 - The Cutting Edge


Today’s movie is a romance drama with a scene on February 21. I hope you will enjoy this film and watch it tonight.

THE CUTTING EDGE                       

On February 21, 1988 Doug Dorsey, a member of the US Olympic hockey team is late getting to the rink for a match and literally runs into Kate Moseley, stuck up and spoiled pairs skater. During the game Dorsey suffers a career ending eye injury, while Kate later falls during her program and doesn’t win the gold. [00:11 to 6:15] Two years later Kate has driven away eight skating partners with her arrogant attitude. Her coach  Anton Pamchenko convinces Doug to work with her. They rub each other the wrong way at first, but eventually start working together. Even though she has a fiancée, Kate and Doug kiss at a New Year’s Eve party. As her relationship with her fiancée crumbles, Kate and Doug manage to make the US Olympic team when one of their competitors falls during her routine. Kate and Doug engage in an off and on attraction to each other. Doug finally confesses he loves her just before they take to the ice for the medal round. They win the gold and Kate agrees she loves him too as they kiss.

A passable romantic drama. It almost veers over into sappiness at times. To me it seems predictable, but you might like it.
