The Cutting Edge
When Calgary was awarded the 1988 Winter Olympics, the first thing that Americans did was purchase an atlas.
Surprisingly, the US athletes in this romantic-comedy were able to find Canada.
Colliding on their way to their gold medal competitions, blue-collar hockey player Doug (D. B. Sweeney) and uptight figure skater Kate (Moira Kelly) start off on the wrong skate.
But things get worse when their failures in '88 force them to work together for pairs figure skating success in '92. With clashing styles and personalities, Doug and Kate's disdain on ice quickly turns to passion off it. But at what cost to the performance?
Wrought with early-nineties fashion faux pas and blurry slow-motion skating sequences, this opposite attractions opus is painfully predictable but oddly endearing – enough to spawn three lesser-known sequels.
Incidentally, the offspring of a hockey player and a figure skater will likely grow up to drive a Zamboni.
