It used to bother me as a kid, but now I kind of love that we don't actually see them get the gold (though from the judge reactions we can assume they did). Cos that's not the point. Kate has been driven all her life by the need for the medal. And it's made her deeply sad and isolated. But in the end it's Doug's love for her that's the most important thing. He tells her "you didn't have to do that" because his love for her isn't dependent on her skating, and it's the first time in her life she's had that. Had unconditional love. And she skates with all the love in her heart back. I love it.
I agree. When she just skates out of love and fun and essentially no longer cares about the winning, neither does the film. Which is why we don't see it. Showing a result either way is irrelevant.
@@tastyneck that's a brilliant comment. It's one of the reasons the comment section is a must for all videos -- you get to see how other minds interpret or grasp stories. Btw, they both KILLED their roles in this movie; the chemistry was palpable.
@@bryanreynolds8721 I was playing poker last week and this one guy tripped and I said, "toe pick" and someone else was like, "Is that from that ice skating movie?"
Quick shout out to the PIB editor. He does a great job of including all the major story beats in his edits. So even if I’ve never seen the film before (like in this case), I can follow the whole story perfectly. I probably wouldn’t seek out “The Cutting Edge” under normal circumstances, but seeing this short version of it was a lot of fun! And even with the movies I love, sometimes it’s nice to watch the 30-minute versions of them. So thank you, PIB editor! Great job!
It helps that she reacts to the major story beats. It’s one of the things I love about this channel, most movies she watches here work on her exactly how intended so those beats all land.
Wow! I can't believe you came across 'The Cutting Edge'... I liked it a lot. I even got a chance to talk to the Director Paul Michael Glasser about it. He told me they cast Moira Kelly because when she came in to the audition she was fighting with her brother and they liked her tenacity. He also said that through most of the movie she had a broken leg and they had to shoot around her wearing a cast then mentioned the scene where she was crawling around on the floor looking for her earring. One scene he wanted in the movie but couldn't get in due to budgetary constraints was he wanted a scene with Doug (D.B. Sweeney) playing pond hockey at night with a bunch of cars with their headlights on lighting the ice... it would've been cool and would've shown Doug's love for the game and inability to "let go" of his dream but the studio couldn't find the money for the scene. It's a nice love story so I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
Cutting Edge! Sighhh...Such wistful memories associated with this one. "Toe pick" (of course) but "Don't quit your day job" & "Finger painting?" are pretty iconic, too. Not to mention the ridiculous, but unforgettable Pamchenko twist!
I think this is what started my love of the Enemies to Lovers trope. I don't care if it's corny, it is delightful, and I can watch it again and again and not get sick of it!
As a man this movie hit a chord I never knew existed before. I love how they both have issues and how both characters need each other to rise as a couple. I also thought the ending was rough without knowing the result, but the result of the competition isn't what actually mattered.
Moira Kelly's character wasn't just lashing out at D.B. Sweeny, she was lashing out at her entire existence. The reason she was having trouble finding a partner is she didn't trust anyone. She didn't relate to any of her partners because she didn't want to be doing that. She was doing what her dad wanted her to do. In the end when she heard DB Sweeney tell her he loved her, it brought her world together. The Gap that was just frustrating her and making her angry was gone. She wasn't mad at DB Sweeny she was mad at skating. It had dominated her entire life. And she didn't even want to be a skater she just wanted to be loved by her dad. She found that love and it scared her to death in DB Sweeney. Would have loved to have been there with you to watch this one. Moira Kelly actually broke her ankle making this movie. In the drunk scene you notice you don't see her below the waist that's because she had a cast and all kinds of stuff going on for the broken ankle. Both actors learned how to skate now they probably had stunt doubles for some of the skating but the reality is they both can skate now. I'm willing to bet that during the course of making this movie they became quite good friends. You could see it in the way they look at each other. Genuine warmth and love. I don't mean intimate love. I think that's part of why I like the movie so much.
Pamchenko is played by the late Roy Dotrice, a truly awesome character actor. He played “Father” in the TV series Beauty and the Beast, and Wolfgang Mozart’s father Leopold in Amadeus…and about 100 other roles as well. He’s also known for doing the narration for the audiobook versions of the first five books in George RR Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series. His daughter Karen was Jane Banks in the original Mary Poppins.
Im surprised you even found this movie but i knew you would like it. the hints of love are there through out the movie. the director left it more to the eyes and body language. this is my favorite chic flic.
Toe Pick!!! I'm over the moon and back that somebody FINALLY reacted to this. Always been a guilty pleasure favourite. "Baby Now I" - plus lick it, slam it, suck it - I can rewatch repeatedly - laugh myself silly - and automatically be in a better mood. Thank you for finding this little GEM.
"I love couples figure skating!" Welp... you heard her ladies and gents. Now she needs to watch Blades of Glory, the gold standard of couples figure skating movies!
It's literally one of the best 'I love you' scenes in the history of the medium. As a guy I say it's only rivalled by Breakfast at Tiffany's. Kate's expression is just... wow. I mean it's not a chick flick as far as I'm concerned because it doesn't pander to cheap emotional thrills or manipulate the viewer (which is what the genre usually does). Aka the vomit worthy cringe stuff which usually makes me sick. It just 'breathes'. It's a hidden gem in any case.
"Holy crap... They're going to get seriously injured!" While the "Pamchenko twist" is not even physically possible... The move they are attempting (a "bounce spin", also known as a "headbanger") at 24:00 is so dangerous, it is banned from competitions like the Olympics. It is still performed in exhibitions however, because it is a huge crowd pleaser due to the danger.
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the reason Brian dropped Kate in Calgary was because she raked him down the back with her toe pick during the lift. My guess is, she wanted to quit, but was afraid of disappointing her father. So, she chose to create a situation where no one would want to work with her, thus ending her career.
I loved this movie. I especially loved that she WAS so mean at the beginning because it made you realize she was sabotaging herself because she wanted her father's love. In the end it didn't matter if they got the gold. What mattered is that she got a partner, and she got her father's love. I wasn't crazy about her father's performance though. The scene where she confronts her dad about her just being accepted as his daughter should have been more emotional IMO.
This is one of my 3 favorite romantic comedies. I used to shock folks at college with this VHS as a 300lb football player who openly loved this movie and watched it often. Glad to see a reaction to it!
Yeah, there is some of that. There's not really the 2nd couple, tho (Bianca and Lucentio, sez google... had to look it up, it's been decades)... unless that's the other figure skating team. But the dude's more interested in D.B. Sweeney than his own partner, so... hm. ;D
If you're into figure skating, then you might like the movie Ice Castles with Lynn Holly Johnson and Robby Benson. It's from 1978, so it's an older movie.
Thank you for watching and reacting to one of my favorite movies! The sequel to this (even though they change actors) is really good too. The rest are crap.
When I tell you that I literally gasped with happiness when I saw this, I'm not exaggerating even a little bit, lol. This is one of my favorite movies. I just love figure skating (and as you pointed out, hockey too, lol!) so when I first saw this movie when I was younger it was just the best thing ever to me. "Toe pick." always makes me laugh along with that moment where they run into her old partner and Doug realizes that the old partner is gay. The look on his face and the way she smirks at him is such a fun moment. "I always wanted all the figure skating couples I watched to be in love. To kiss after." That made me think of Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov honestly. They're my favorite figure skating pair to this day. You could just see how in love they were when they skated. I still remember how shocking it was when he suddenly passed away and then what it was like to watch her step on the ice for the first time as a single skater about a year or so later. Thanks for reacting to this one as well - I think you're the only person I've ever seen react to this movie!
My father had specific genres that he enjoyed. War. Westerns. Etc. Well, this was one of his out of the box movies. He loved this one. And... Can't Buy Me Love is one of my all-time favorites. I was a Patrick Dempsey fan long before McDreamy existed. lol I can't wait to see that one!!
This is one of those movies that when it comes on, no matter where its at I stop what I am doing and watch. I have to say the last few reactions have been on point. Awesome job :)
I remember watching this movie multiple times when it hit the dollar theater...just a really feel-good story. Too bad they had to use lots of editing to hide the fact that neither of them were competition level skaters. Makes you wish they had deep fake technology back then. To me, the classic skating love story was Ice Castles (1978)...a story about an Olympic hopeful who is partially blinded by an accident and goes on to compete despite her disability. Lynn-Holly Johnson, a professional skater and silver medalist in the 1974 Figure Skating Championships, played the role of Lexi and did a very nice acting job opposite Robbie Benson. It was a surprisingly good movie.
Fun trivia: Moira Kelly was cast to play the role of Geena Davis' sister Kit in "A League of Their Own", however an injury she sustained in this film prevented her from taking the role. Lori Petty was cast instead. TOE PICK! lol Thanks, Cassie for a wonderful reaction. I had fun watching this with you. I'm glad this movie cheered you up a little bit from your bad mood. I'm watching the winter olympics on tv. Hope you feel better and take care of yourself!!🤗🍿🌸❤
Ahhh another movie from my childhood. My sister was absolutely obsessed with this movie so it was always on. The story was good, it was a bit cheesy, but still a solid movie. The only complaint I have was that they didn't show as much of the actual ice skating, but I understand why they couldn't hence all of the quick cuts/motion blur stuff.
I got so excited when saw you were watching this movie. This is one of my all time fav movies, dosent hurt that I live in Calgary. Cool runnings is another great Calgary Olympic movie set during the '88 games and based on a true story.
She seemed angry at everyone for no apparent reason. Possibly because her mother was no longer with her, that can be really hard for a girl. Her father seemed to focused on her skating, some dads are not good at showing affection to their daughters, maybe afraid it will seem "too friendly"? But when the "hockey player" came along at first she looked down on him thinking he was not up to the task. But, it turned out he was the first skater to challenge her. She soon found she was having trouble keeping up with him. I was surprised you didn't mention the beautiful sweaters Moira wore in that movie. There were several that looked so luxurious. My daughter mentioned it several times during that movie. They appeared to be upscale cashmere, the really good kind with two or three layers. Probably cost $400-$600 apiece. Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it almost as much as the movie.
Oh my God! Thank you for reacting to this. Went on a date to see this when it came out. Her choice and I was pissed initially. But I walked out of the theater with a smile on my face. Cheesy, predictable, and perfect.
Figure Staking /Ice dancing is damn compelling in the Olympics, incredibly iconic. Torvill and Dean dancing to Bolero in Sarajevo, Sarah Hughes, Battle of the Brians, etc etc. Good choice.
@@lewstone5430 and by the late 90s we were all asking ourselves "What would Brian Boitano do?" Referencing a 23-year old movie just shows that I make only the most timely jokes.. In all seriousness, he was one heck of a skater.
I remember seeing this not too long after it came out and thinking it was cute. I probably watched it because of D.B. Sweeney. I always liked him. You should react to “Arsenic and Old Lace” or “Bringing Up Baby” for one of your classic films. Learn who Cary Grant is. You won’t be disappointed.
Commenting before I even watch because I freaking love this movie and I'm so excited you are watching it!!!! Me and my family still randomly say "toe pick" to each other lol! Moira Kelly (Kate) also played in an amazing 90s movie you have to watch called With Honors (it also has Brendan Frasier and Joe Pesci) and D.B. Sweeney (Doug) was in Fire In The Sky which is another great one to check out! Another great ice skating movie to check out is Ice Castles (the original 70s or 80s one lol I forget when it came out).
One of my favorite "romcom's" from the early 90's! I'm a little shocked that you actually reacted to this one since it is relatively obscure these days. Fun reaction! Thank you for sharing!
Not only is this one of my favorite movies EVER....But I have been lucky in my life! I got to meet and hang out with The Stars On Ice Skaters (Biggest Ice Skaters ever) back in 1991.. Skaters like Scott Hamilton, Dorothy Hamill, Toller Cranston, Rosalynn Sumners, Brian Pockar, Lea Ann Miller, Bill Fauver, Lisa Carey, Chris Harrison, Judy Blumberg, Michael Seibert And..Last but not least, Kristi Yamaguchi ... there were more there at the after party ...other celebs... just don't want to make this too long lol! I hope you know who these ppl are .. maybe not.. but if so... They were ALL AWESOME PEOPLE!!!! I was lucky as well.. cause I had a crush on Kristi Yamaguchi at the time... Oh.. I was only 10 or 11 at the time btw! haha
Love you Girl! Glad you liked this movie! Definitely great for Valentine’s Day. I like how the coach says “Don’t go halfway. Halfway is bullshit. You go halfway you get hurt.” That phrase is perfect for everyday life. It always gives me chills when they did that lift at the end of the movie. They finally trusted each other and stopped fighting. She gave up control and had faith knowing he wouldn’t drop her. Many figure skaters have told me this lift is suicide. Few have attempted it. It’s like insane lifts in dancing but falling on hardwood and falling on ice are 2 totally different feelings. Can’t wait to see more of your reactions. The Russian coach is my favorite character. Douglas was good for Kate because being around him have her a sense of being normal. She was so used to being around wealth. Kate did grow on me though. 🙏🙏
Hi Cassie, I wanted to let you know, I really love your reaction videos. You remind me of myself when you watch movies, it makes it so fun and relatable. Also, I so appreciate your efforts to keep your comments clean. As a Christian woman, It means a lot to me that I've now found a great channel to watch and enjoy. :) Also I found you yesterday and so I am going back to your old videos, but tried to find the newest in hopes you would see my comment. Really look forward to watching more! :) Have a blessed day!
I remember watching this on cable when I was home sick from school. I was supposed to have been reading "Great Expectations" instead of watching tv - in fact, the book was open on the coffee table - and when she gave it to him as a gift I just about jumped out of my skin. But I couldn't stop watching - I had too much of a crush on her by then.
This movie is awesome. I watched it when i was a small child many times. It has something for everyone in it. I'm normally a big sci-fi/ horror buff,but this film is just a lot of fun.
Oh, you have GOT to watch the original version of the movie Ice Castles. If you liked this one, you will totally LOVE that one. So glad you found this movie. It has always been one of my guilty pleasure movies. Full of cheese and completely yummy. What fun! :)
I agree. In the community post I mentioned that I love this film and part of that was because of my crush on Moira Kelly. But mostly there's just....something...about this film that I just can't explain. Your description is on point. It just hits a certain spot.
The leading Lady and Leading man build up an emotional/romantic chemistry that is hard not to get caught up in even if you see it as "predictable" and "corny".
I never saw a chick flick before subscribing to your channel back when you first did The Green Mile but now I watch everything you post just because it's so much fun to see your reviews and so heartwarming to see you being happy at the smallest things which is really nice and such a change from the present situation in the world so thank you very much
Oh Cassie you bring the biggest smiles to my face!!! I really wish Carly was here for this one, her smile is so infectious, you guys would've been hysterical! I love how you've turned grand gesture into a verb!!!!!!! "HE NEEDS TO GRAND GESTURE HER!!!" LMAO 😆😂😆😂😆😂
Oh gee, OMG lol, this is my top guilty pleasure movie and absolutely nobody in my home country knows it. Thank you so much for this evening surprise! Love 😆
LOVED LOVED LOVED your reaction! Since you seem to love ice skating so much, you should watch an early 80’s movie called “Ice Castles”. It’s one of my favorite movies! ❤️fromOregon🇺🇸
Can I suggest the 1977 classic Sorcerer? It should make a great review for you, especially if your friend from The Count of Monte Cristo watches it with you.
This is one of the most underrated cute movies ever. My mom used to have us kids watch it from time to time and my sisters just fell in love with it and I, the little brother actually thought it was a lot of fun too. Now my little girls watch it and they're absolutely fascinated. The nice thing is they're young enough that the adult stuff just goes right over their head. Nice job
This movie is a guilty pleasure of ours. My husband has watched this with me soo many times over the yrs… I’m a bit of a clumsy gal and when I do trip on nothing, he will sometimes say “Toe pick”😏
It was implied that they won gold in the end. It was stated earlier in the film that whichever pair executed the Pamchenko perfectly, they would automatically win. And they did, so...
After this movie came out, The following summer, DB was at his family summer home out on Long Island, NY for the July 4th weekend and we all were getting ready for the Softball game at the ball field. He borrowed one of my shorts for the game. I go fishing with his brother out on Montauk every so often.
I love that you reacted this. On one of your live streams I suggested this and may have suggested you watch it with your sister because I figured you'd love the story. I also think there were multiple sequels (didn't have the same cast though), and I don't remember if they were direct to DVD releases or Hallmark or Lifetime channel movies, but I think I have watched the second and third movie. I also believe this movie was filmed mostly in Canada. I'm just not sure where or if it was multiple locations.
Best line: "If it was 40 below, and that button meant the difference between a long happy life, and a slow agonizing death of hypothermia, I still wouldn't give you the satisfaction."
Just two thoughts, 1) Since Unforgiven I feel like I should be calling you Ms Cassie. 2) thank you for what you are doing. I think it is a great idea to do your pillow pull which leads to reacting to a film which is not the atypical fare a hundred others are or have already reacted to as well. I have never seen or even heard of this movie and may never have if not for your channel. Oh, and if I can add a 3) I enjoyed it
Omfg, I love this movie. “It’s a bad ass hockey movie!” Is exactly what I thought it was. Till I found out it’s just a true love story hidden behind 30 seconds of hockey. In conclusion still one of my all time favs!! “Toe Pick” 😏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've watched this so many times! DB is great friends with Chris Chelios so he actually has a cameo here (it's so quick!). I think it's during the face off when he's next to Doug. He's the German player with that unmistakable nose.
Cassie, your final wishes for this movie were spot-on. I totally agree. Love this movie too, but those missing things make it just short of top-tier chick flick status for me. 😍 Looking forward to Can’t Buy Me Love.

Yep, it’s a lot like Rocky, in that what they won was completely beside the point.
Makes me cry Everytime.😥

Starsky directed this? Did not know that. Good choice though - she fit the role perfectly and it was instant crush time first time watching back then.
@@MoMoMyPup10 He also directed "The Running Man", "The Air Up There", "Band Of The Hand" and some "Miami Vice" episodes.

@@DavidRox71 DB's dry humor. His delivery is everything 😄
The jump cut to “it wasn’t like his nose was perfect” stands out too
Not the The tequila she’s done for lol
What do you do? Soak them in battery acid?
According to IMDB, the two stars spent over two months figure skate training together and became very close friends and remain so to this day.

I used to work in a restaurant where D.B. Sweeney would come in. Very down to earth guy. And he still gets plagued with people telling him "Toe-pick!"
amazing
This movie is SO cheesy! I love it so much! People love it because their chemistry is FIRE 🔥That’s why I love it. 💕💕
It is one of the very few "chick flicks" that I can stand.

If you check out the extras on the Blu-Ray, they both became great friends during filming. D.B. Sweeney said that she loved working with Moira Kelly.
He can dish it back as much as she can dish it out. Perfect match.

Does the movie 'slap shot,' count as figure skating?
@@hiuto2 Yes, that and Miracle
Slapshot is very underrated.
You legit reacted to The Cutting Edge!?! 🤣 Hahaha. Classic. Anyone who grew up in this era has seen this movie.
As a guy who doesn’t like “chick flicks” I will admit this one has choked me up before (when they profess their love).
It's literally one of the best 'I love you' scenes in the history of the medium. As a guy I say it's only rivalled by Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Kate's expression is just... wow. I mean it's not a chick flick as far as I'm concerned because it doesn't pander to cheap emotional thrills or manipulate the viewer (which is what the genre usually does). Aka the vomit worthy cringe stuff which usually makes me sick.

Came looking for THIS comment. 😄
LOL…yup !
I just saw this on my feed and I came into the comments to type that. I was watching hockey the other day and I said toe pick!
"Toe Pick" and "Auto-Wash" from The Fifth Element are two random phrases that I still use to this day when something goes wrong for someone, lol!
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the reason Brian dropped Kate in Calgary was because she raked him down the back with her toe pick during the lift. My guess is, she wanted to quit, but was afraid of disappointing her father. So, she chose to create a situation where no one would want to work with her, thus ending her career.

same. my favorite is "when harry met sally" then "notting hill" this is #3 for me
More of a classic than you know. It is a retelling of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." Her name is even Kate.
Yeah, there is some of that.
There's not really the 2nd couple, tho (Bianca and Lucentio, sez google... had to look it up, it's been decades)... unless that's the other figure skating team. But the dude's more interested in D.B. Sweeney than his own partner, so... hm. ;D
This movie has a special place in my heart. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. LIKE!
If you're into figure skating, then you might like the movie Ice Castles with Lynn Holly Johnson and Robby Benson. It's from 1978, so it's an older movie.
This might actually be a remake of Ice Castles.
Ice castles was so good
And that song…,,,,😍
I was going to recommend that too - but definitely the original (I just recently found out they did an Ice Castles remake).
That one is a 3 hanky movie
Thank you for watching and reacting to one of my favorite movies! The sequel to this (even though they change actors) is really good too. The rest are crap.
When I tell you that I literally gasped with happiness when I saw this, I'm not exaggerating even a little bit, lol. This is one of my favorite movies. I just love figure skating (and as you pointed out, hockey too, lol!) so when I first saw this movie when I was younger it was just the best thing ever to me. "Toe pick." always makes me laugh along with that moment where they run into her old partner and Doug realizes that the old partner is gay. The look on his face and the way she smirks at him is such a fun moment.
"I always wanted all the figure skating couples I watched to be in love. To kiss after." That made me think of Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov honestly. They're my favorite figure skating pair to this day. You could just see how in love they were when they skated. I still remember how shocking it was when he suddenly passed away and then what it was like to watch her step on the ice for the first time as a single skater about a year or so later.
Thanks for reacting to this one as well - I think you're the only person I've ever seen react to this movie!
My father had specific genres that he enjoyed. War. Westerns. Etc. Well, this was one of his out of the box movies. He loved this one. And... Can't Buy Me Love is one of my all-time favorites. I was a Patrick Dempsey fan long before McDreamy existed. lol I can't wait to see that one!!
omg.......the best part of this reaction is when she tried to blink one eye and she kept closing both eyes. LOL
The toe pick scenes crack me up everytime. 😂
When this movie came out, people were calling it the ultimate love/skate relationship.
This is one of those movies that when it comes on, no matter where its at I stop what I am doing and watch. I have to say the last few reactions have been on point. Awesome job :)
I remember watching this movie multiple times when it hit the dollar theater...just a really feel-good story. Too bad they had to use lots of editing to hide the fact that neither of them were competition level skaters. Makes you wish they had deep fake technology back then.
To me, the classic skating love story was Ice Castles (1978)...a story about an Olympic hopeful who is partially blinded by an accident and goes on to compete despite her disability. Lynn-Holly Johnson, a professional skater and silver medalist in the 1974 Figure Skating Championships, played the role of Lexi and did a very nice acting job opposite Robbie Benson. It was a surprisingly good movie.
Fun trivia: Moira Kelly was cast to play the role of Geena Davis' sister Kit in "A League of Their Own", however an injury she sustained in this film prevented her from taking the role. Lori Petty was cast instead. TOE PICK! lol Thanks, Cassie for a wonderful reaction. I had fun watching this with you. I'm glad this movie cheered you up a little bit from your bad mood. I'm watching the winter olympics on tv. Hope you feel better and take care of yourself!!🤗🍿🌸❤
Funny, I couldn't imagine anyone else as Kit now. Lori Petty slayed in that role.
Ahhh another movie from my childhood. My sister was absolutely obsessed with this movie so it was always on. The story was good, it was a bit cheesy, but still a solid movie. The only complaint I have was that they didn't show as much of the actual ice skating, but I understand why they couldn't hence all of the quick cuts/motion blur stuff.
Damn! I have to wait two hours for this? Such an underrated gem. And, of course, the iconic 'Toe Pick!'.
The two main actors Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney Are Still very good friends to this day..the Chemistry was definitely real.. i Love this film
I got so excited when saw you were watching this movie. This is one of my all time fav movies, dosent hurt that I live in Calgary. Cool runnings is another great Calgary Olympic movie set during the '88 games and based on a true story.
I wish you and your sister were watching this movie. You guys should do a lot more movies together😊
Seconded
One of the big challenges is their distance from each other.
"Mystery Alaska" is another fun character/hockey/comedy movie with a great cast of great actors.
She seemed angry at everyone for no apparent reason. Possibly because her mother was no longer with her, that can be really hard for a girl. Her father seemed to focused on her skating, some dads are not good at showing affection to their daughters, maybe afraid it will seem "too friendly"?
But when the "hockey player" came along at first she looked down on him thinking he was not up to the task. But, it turned out he was the first skater to challenge her. She soon found she was having trouble keeping up with him.
I was surprised you didn't mention the beautiful sweaters Moira wore in that movie. There were several that looked so luxurious. My daughter mentioned it several times during that movie. They appeared to be upscale cashmere, the really good kind with two or three layers. Probably cost $400-$600 apiece.
Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it almost as much as the movie.
I wanted her entire wardrobe.
Scott Hamilton was my favorite growing up. His skill & humor made his routines the best!
And back flips!
Oh my God! Thank you for reacting to this. Went on a date to see this when it came out. Her choice and I was pissed initially. But I walked out of the theater with a smile on my face. Cheesy, predictable, and perfect.
Figure Staking /Ice dancing is damn compelling in the Olympics, incredibly iconic. Torvill and Dean dancing to Bolero in Sarajevo, Sarah Hughes, Battle of the Brians, etc etc. Good choice.
Oh yes, I was watching Brian Boitano in the ‘80’s!
@@lewstone5430 and by the late 90s we were all asking ourselves "What would Brian Boitano do?"
Referencing a 23-year old movie just shows that I make only the most timely jokes..
In all seriousness, he was one heck of a skater.
Highly underrated flick. As far as Rom Coms go i really enjoyed this.
I saw this movie in theaters when it came out! My sister and I also were ice skaters. It's a low budget movie, but it's also a fun movie.
This was one of my favorites growing up! Thanks for bringing back those memories. Another sweet movie you might like is That Night!
Thanks cassie, i haven't seen this movie in years, but i remember my sister and i watched it a lot as kids , ( ice skating phase)
I remember seeing this not too long after it came out and thinking it was cute. I probably watched it because of D.B. Sweeney. I always liked him. You should react to “Arsenic and Old Lace” or “Bringing Up Baby” for one of your classic films. Learn who Cary Grant is. You won’t be disappointed.
Commenting before I even watch because I freaking love this movie and I'm so excited you are watching it!!!! Me and my family still randomly say "toe pick" to each other lol! Moira Kelly (Kate) also played in an amazing 90s movie you have to watch called With Honors (it also has Brendan Frasier and Joe Pesci) and D.B. Sweeney (Doug) was in Fire In The Sky which is another great one to check out! Another great ice skating movie to check out is Ice Castles (the original 70s or 80s one lol I forget when it came out).
One of my all time favorites, became a big Moira Kelly fan ! 🥰
“Zamboni: do you guys even know what that is?” lol
Yes. In the US, the word Zamboni is used to make Canada jokes. Haha
One of my favorite "romcom's" from the early 90's! I'm a little shocked that you actually reacted to this one since it is relatively obscure these days. Fun reaction! Thank you for sharing!
I've always liked DB Sweeney. He was Dish Boggett in Lonesome Dove, PLUS he was in Memphis Belle.
Also Shoeless Joe Jackson in Eight Men Out.
My number DB Sweeney movie is Fire in the Sky because eye trauma 😫
I'm a 54 year old guy and my biggest secret is that this is my favorite movie...EVER!!!!! Still Love Moria Kelly
That’s awesome! Lol
Not only is this one of my favorite movies EVER....But I have been lucky in my life! I got to meet and hang out with The Stars On Ice Skaters (Biggest Ice Skaters ever) back in 1991.. Skaters like Scott Hamilton, Dorothy Hamill, Toller Cranston, Rosalynn Sumners, Brian Pockar, Lea Ann Miller, Bill Fauver, Lisa Carey, Chris Harrison, Judy Blumberg, Michael Seibert And..Last but not least, Kristi Yamaguchi ... there were more there at the after party ...other celebs... just don't want to make this too long lol! I hope you know who these ppl are .. maybe not.. but if so... They were ALL AWESOME PEOPLE!!!! I was lucky as well.. cause I had a crush on Kristi Yamaguchi at the time... Oh.. I was only 10 or 11 at the time btw! haha
My mother loved this movie back in the day.
Love you Girl! Glad you liked this movie! Definitely great for Valentine’s Day. I like how the coach says “Don’t go halfway. Halfway is bullshit. You go halfway you get hurt.” That phrase is perfect for everyday life. It always gives me chills when they did that lift at the end of the movie. They finally trusted each other and stopped fighting. She gave up control and had faith knowing he wouldn’t drop her. Many figure skaters have told me this lift is suicide. Few have attempted it. It’s like insane lifts in dancing but falling on hardwood and falling on ice are 2 totally different feelings.
Can’t wait to see more of your reactions.
The Russian coach is my favorite character. Douglas was good for Kate because being around him have her a sense of being normal. She was so used to being around wealth. Kate did grow on me though. 🙏🙏
Hi Cassie, I wanted to let you know, I really love your reaction videos. You remind me of myself when you watch movies, it makes it so fun and relatable. Also, I so appreciate your efforts to keep your comments clean. As a Christian woman, It means a lot to me that I've now found a great channel to watch and enjoy. :) Also I found you yesterday and so I am going back to your old videos, but tried to find the newest in hopes you would see my comment. Really look forward to watching more! :) Have a blessed day!
I remember watching this on cable when I was home sick from school. I was supposed to have been reading "Great Expectations" instead of watching tv - in fact, the book was open on the coffee table - and when she gave it to him as a gift I just about jumped out of my skin. But I couldn't stop watching - I had too much of a crush on her by then.
To this day I still go around chirping TOE PICK! whenever someone screws up after I told them not to do something.
LOVE this movie! So glad this made it on the line up. This is one of those movies that was a big part off my childhood. "Toooeepiiiick" SO good! Haha
This movie is awesome. I watched it when i was a small child many times. It has something for everyone in it. I'm normally a big sci-fi/ horror buff,but this film is just a lot of fun.
I'm so happy right now! I've been waiting for someone to react to this for so long!
This movie is a favorite of my big sister, and I grew up watching this all the time. 😊
Oh, you have GOT to watch the original version of the movie Ice Castles. If you liked this one, you will totally LOVE that one. So glad you found this movie. It has always been one of my guilty pleasure movies. Full of cheese and completely yummy. What fun! :)
Everybody loves this movie. It's not great, it's predictable and corny, but it hits a certain spot.
I agree. In the community post I mentioned that I love this film and part of that was because of my crush on Moira Kelly. But mostly there's just....something...about this film that I just can't explain. Your description is on point. It just hits a certain spot.
@@tastyneck Miss Kelly certainly had a booty that ~refused~ to quit... not to mention she had that 'mean pretty' thing down pat.
The leading Lady and Leading man build up an emotional/romantic chemistry that is hard not to get caught up in even if you see it as "predictable" and "corny".
Nope. Only speak for yourself.
They make a good couple. The characters are really relatable. It's a feel good movie.
I never saw a chick flick before subscribing to your channel back when you first did The Green Mile but now I watch everything you post just because it's so much fun to see your reviews and so heartwarming to see you being happy at the smallest things which is really nice and such a change from the present situation in the world so thank you very much
Oh Cassie you bring the biggest smiles to my face!!! I really wish Carly was here for this one, her smile is so infectious, you guys would've been hysterical! I love how you've turned grand gesture into a verb!!!!!!! "HE NEEDS TO GRAND GESTURE HER!!!" LMAO 😆😂😆😂😆😂
Here's a fun fact. Moira Kelly is the voice of adult Nala in the Lion king
Omg this was a family favorite growing up. ☺️ Underrated! So happy to see it here. 💜
Yes! Yes! Yes! One of my all time FAVORITES. Cassie you're going to love this Movie so much👍✌️
The cutting edge is such a great movie I love this film so much
Oh gee, OMG lol, this is my top guilty pleasure movie and absolutely nobody in my home country knows it. Thank you so much for this evening surprise! Love 😆
Never thought I would see someone reacting to this movie 👍🏻 great job
This was one of my Mom's favorite movies.
I loved this movie, I watched it multiple times when it first came out on dvd. Same with can't buy me love!!!
LOVED LOVED LOVED your reaction! Since you seem to love ice skating so much, you should watch an early 80’s movie called “Ice Castles”. It’s one of my favorite movies! ❤️fromOregon🇺🇸
One of My fave movies I think I wore off a vhs copy of this!! The pamchenko was dope!!!
I have watched thousands of films. The Cutting Edge is the perfect movie.
Can I suggest the 1977 classic Sorcerer? It should make a great review for you, especially if your friend from The Count of Monte Cristo watches it with you.
This is one of the most underrated cute movies ever. My mom used to have us kids watch it from time to time and my sisters just fell in love with it and I, the little brother actually thought it was a lot of fun too. Now my little girls watch it and they're absolutely fascinated. The nice thing is they're young enough that the adult stuff just goes right over their head. Nice job
This movie is a guilty pleasure of ours. My husband has watched this with me soo many times over the yrs… I’m a bit of a clumsy gal and when I do trip on nothing, he will sometimes say “Toe pick”😏
It was implied that they won gold in the end. It was stated earlier in the film that whichever pair executed the Pamchenko perfectly, they would automatically win. And they did, so...
I haven’t seen this movie in years! I really loved it when I saw it. 🥰
After this movie came out, The following summer, DB was at his family summer home out on Long Island, NY for the July 4th weekend and we all were getting ready for the Softball game at the ball field. He borrowed one of my shorts for the game.
I go fishing with his brother out on Montauk every so often.
You need to let your sister watch this movie. It's one of the most underrated movies of all time.
Loved this movie as a kid, haven’t seen it in probably 15-20 years. Great pick!
I love that you reacted this. On one of your live streams I suggested this and may have suggested you watch it with your sister because I figured you'd love the story. I also think there were multiple sequels (didn't have the same cast though), and I don't remember if they were direct to DVD releases or Hallmark or Lifetime channel movies, but I think I have watched the second and third movie. I also believe this movie was filmed mostly in Canada. I'm just not sure where or if it was multiple locations.
Great movie even a man like me loves this movie.
Cassie being in a bad mood is still adorable and kind by everyone else's standards 🌻
Best line: "If it was 40 below, and that button meant the difference between a long happy life, and a slow agonizing death of hypothermia, I still wouldn't give you the satisfaction."
"Bet you look good from a few thousand miles away."
Omg I loved this movie, thank you for reacting to it! 🍿
Just two thoughts, 1) Since Unforgiven I feel like I should be calling you Ms Cassie. 2) thank you for what you are doing. I think it is a great idea to do your pillow pull which leads to reacting to a film which is not the atypical fare a hundred others are or have already reacted to as well. I have never seen or even heard of this movie and may never have if not for your channel. Oh, and if I can add a 3) I enjoyed it
Omfg, I love this movie. “It’s a bad ass hockey movie!” Is exactly what I thought it was. Till I found out it’s just a true love story hidden behind 30 seconds of hockey.
In conclusion still one of my all time favs!!
“Toe Pick” 😏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is going to love this movie
I've watched this so many times! DB is great friends with Chris Chelios so he actually has a cameo here (it's so quick!). I think it's during the face off when he's next to Doug. He's the German player with that unmistakable nose.
It wasn't going to be a Hockey filled movie anyways, because the story is of a Hockey player joining figure skating.
True love story hidden behind 30 seconds of hockey... just like Happy Gilmore! :P
Cassie, your final wishes for this movie were spot-on. I totally agree. Love this movie too, but those missing things make it just short of top-tier chick flick status for me. 😍 Looking forward to Can’t Buy Me Love.
I would so TOTALLY not mind if you talked through any movie we watched. you're so darling with your perceptions!
This is not on many folks favorite movies list, but it's on mine 🤭
