Go Figure

I can't say this is one of the best films I have ever seen. But then again, I can't say it's one of the worst I have ever seen. OK, so it's basically a girl does skating, is good at it, wants to go to an expensive school, can't afford it and has to take a Hockey Scholarship. She has to hide her skating secret from her friends. Personally, I didn't like the actress playing Katelin. She absolutely couldn't cry to save her life, just made wailing sounds, like a toddler pretending to cry to get it's own way. Katelin was just an annoying person. The way she tried to act all nice and helpful to people. Also the part where the two skaters are calling her names and they say something about her choreographer and she says she 'draws the line' made me cringe. We all knew where it was going to go with her and Spencer. Classically they didn't like each other and sort of get together at the end was just typical. Overall, I think this is a movie to watch if you like skating but if you don't mind the main skater being extremely annoying. It's good to kill time basically.

Forget the 'inaccuracies' and unrealism - of course they are present, this is a Disney film for crying out loud. This film portrays the courage, hard work and athleticism of both figure skating and ice hockey and with a beautiful guest appearance by Kristi Yamaguchi who is an icon. It is also a challenge to the sport to move past the Tonya Harding image which is still alive and kicking and support one another as a team. But let's not take it too seriously this is a fun movie about skating with lovely family values and a great portrayal of the richness friends and family bring to our lives once we move past stereotypes and judgments. I really enjoyed it.
