Coup de foudre sur la glace

How can a complete lack of originality result in such a cute movie. Yes, the original was a 10 because the original was actually original. The, the seven one came out and it was terrible. Unoriginal, lousy acting, bad direction flawed script. But this one... with exactly the same story, they swapped the roles and made the boy the experienced skater and the girl the rookie. Only, this time, the script was great, the actors very good, the direction competent and the result managed to create the same emotions as the original movie. I have never seen a sequel like this one. Congratulations to the producers, the cast and all involved. You did it.

... close to the (cutting) edge ... I'm trying not to lose my head ... haha ... it's a wonder sometimes ... no wait, I think I got the last lyrics wrong. Anyway, lest I forget: no pun intended with my re-quoting a hip hop classic. Actually while this feels like a classic rom-com, it also feels a bit updated from the other entries. Especially the camera work. Which is necessary considering that story wise there are not many surprises.

The actors are good enough, you know the beats though (story beats that is). I may take a break from ice skating movies. As good as this looks, there is not much to keep ones attention there ... especially the fabricated "issues" that occur from time to time ... that aside, if you are into movies like this, you won't mind the predictability - enjoy if you can.

OK, not sure why I felt compelled to comment on this movie, but having now sat through both the original (pretty good), the 2nd one (awful), and this one (much better), I have a good basis of comparison.

This was not high art, but it was a FAR better movie than the 2nd one. the key here being a pair of relatively unknown actors in the leads who did a nice job and had real chemistry (especially the female lead who was full of bounce and sass without being obnoxious). The leads in the second one were so horribly awkward it was like pulling teeth, but here you have likable and sympathetic characters. And the script lets them be likable too -- another thing that the 2nd movie got horribly wrong.

Unfortunately parts of the script are also the biggest weaknesses with this movie. There a handful of awkward scenes, and down the back half of the movie it was as if they hired some hack to try to artificially find some way to plagiarize as much of the original movie as possible and force it into this one, even when the pacing and fit was off.

But any romance is basically about the romantic leads. If they succeed and work well together, then the romance works. If they don't, it doesn't. Well, in this one they did. And so, not a classic, but eminently watchable for this sort of thing.

Sad remake trying to insert hispanics into figure skating. Producers need to lose this mo...stop replacing white roles. Forced diversity isnt appealing.

I saw it last night and loved it. I loved the first one too. It was one of my favorite romantic movies. When the second one was announced, I was so excited. But the movie disappointed me because although the protagonist are great, the movie was slow. In some scenes, they weren't acting natural. I aren't accusing the protagonists maybe the guilty one was the director... who knows? It was such a pity. On the other hand, this movie is way better than the second one. It is fantastic. The chemistry was there and the movie was smooth and sweet. He is so handsome and she is gorgeous. They made such a cute couple. The only "but" was the ending. It was almost an exact replica of the first one. How sad, the plot was different and refreshing. Regardless of that, it is a nice romantic movie.
