Man would I love to see you play hockey

Current mood: annoyed

Since I first time I saw The Cutting Edge (and developed a celebrity crush on D.B. Sweeney), the skating movie has been my all-time favorite.

Tonight, I watched a sequel (yeah, bad move I know) called The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing The Dream.

What were the writers thinking? The ending was EXACTLY the same as the ending in the original film. This thoroughly pissed me off.

Reason being, I’ve always thought the ending to The Cutting Edge is one of the most romantic scenes ever. The two skaters, who obviously care for one another and have never admitted the fact, finally admit their feelings in a heated moment followed by performing a risky move on the ice to win the gold medal.

In this 3rd film, the two skaters are fighting just seconds before taking the ice. He stops her from going onto the ice, he tells her he loves her. Her eyes are wide with shock. She lowers her head and allows one tear to slip. Then she tells him she’s doing the move and pushes past him to the ice. He follows her and says its too dangerous. She said she’s there to win. They do the move, the crowd cheers, the movie ends with the two of them sharing their first kiss on the ice.
EXACTLY THE SAME SCENE!!!!

And guess which move it is? The pamchanco - the same move from the first movie.
And you know what gets me? A handfull of writers got paid big bucks to totally rip off the first movie. It’s like legal plagiarism.

I’m just ranting. Think of when you hear your favorite song redone and remixed by some new artist that truly doesn’t do it justice. Same smell here. The new actors are young and cute, but this hotshot figure skater dude is certainly no D.B. Sweeney.

"Man would I love to see you play hockey."

"Any time."
