    Way better than the second part

    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.

    Addictive and Motivating

    I can describe this movie in one word "Addictive". I loved the first Cutting Edge, and I liked the second but I can not remember the last time a movie has had such an impact. Matt and Francia were wonderful actors and along with the whole cast, they brought this movie to life and made it seem real. It reminds me of the start of mine and my husband's relationship. When I found out this movie was coming on TV I had to record it and have watched it every night since. The story line, the music and the skating draw you in and make you feel a part of this movie. If you are a skater, ice or roller you will be "Motivated" to go skating after this movie. If you like Romance and Skating this is definitely a Must See Movie and Must Have DVD.

    Forced Diversity Remake

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

    Matt Lanter is the star.

    This TV movie would not be as good as it is, if Matt Lanter was not in it. He looks really pretty throughout the movie.

    Several stock scenes of Seattle were repeated in this movie. It was not necessary.

    During their "Paris" competition, it is obvious that the arena is the same as they used for the US national competition. And it looks totally unreal, because there was no advertisement around the skating area. And the signs were all in English.

    Matt was wearing all those skin tight hot looking, colorful lycra t-shirts which made him incredibly hot. Male figure skaters always wear those skin tight, fancy looking pants and tops when they compete. Why did the costume people give him those boring long sleeves shirt and regular pants to wear when he was competing? Unlike the "Cutting Edge 2" movie, the body doubles' faces were not very visible which is good.

    The story is almost predicable. Of course, this is expected for most of the inspirational movies.

    i expected more

    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

    • Trivia
      Skating 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.)
    • Goofs
      When 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.
