"Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream" is an ABC original movie that doesn't fail to entertain but is rather formulated and cliché, especially since the previous two movies in the Cutting Edge series have the same plot: An ice hockey player teaming up with an ice figure skater to win an ice figure skating competition. I personally find it annoying, why can't the figure skater turn into a hockey player to win the ice hockey championship for a change? Anyways, following the exclusive "Cutting Edge formula," through their partnership, the players get infatuated to each other, or should I say "fall in love". The actors were okay, I thought Francia Raisa did a great job acting as the high-headed and aggressive hockey player while Matt Lanter looked good but wasn't all that interesting. Christy Carlson Romano didn't have much to do except walk around and look unsatisfied as their coach.
i thought this movie was the weakest of the three movies,mainly because there's zero tension between the two main characters,and the story isn't really there.that's just my opinion,of course.there also isn't really any excitement,even in the skating sequences.i never really felt invested in the story or the characters.having said all that,i did find the movie passably entertaining,and i never felt bored.Christy Romano(Jackie Dorsey) has a very small role in the film,which is unfortunate.to me,this film had a TV movie feel to it,which isn't always a bad thing.i just expected more from this movie.it's not horrible,by any means,,but for me,it's about average.i give The Cutting Edge 3:Chasing the Dream a 5/10
Sad remake trying to insert hispanics into figure skating. Producers need to lose this mo...stop replacing white roles. Forced diversity isnt appealing.
... 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.

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.

- TriviaSkating doubles Fred Palascak (for Matt Lanter) and Melanie Lambert (for Francia Raisa) are husband and wife and both appear in the UK TV show Dancing on Ice (2006). Also appearing on the show is Olympic gold medal winner, Robin Cousins, who had a cameo appearance in the first film of this franchise, The Cutting Edge (1992). (Robin, who is British, was dubbed by an American actor for his role.)
- GoofsWhen Jackie sees Zach and Alex walk into the ice rink where she's teaching kids how to ice skate, she says, "Zach Conroy, it's been what, five years since Torino." Later, in Paris, the signs around the rink say 'Paris 2008.' The 2006 Winter Olympics were in Torino, making it only two years later instead of five.
