Fourteen years have passed since the marriage of Kate and Doug, and in Cutting Edge 2: Going for the Gold the direct-to-video sequel to the original film, we meet the couple's teenage daughter, figure skater Jackie (Christy Carlson Romano, Everyone Says I Love You). Ironically, Jackie finds herself traveling in the footsteps of her mom, when an ankle injury on the ice forces her to take on a new partner. She soon teams up with Alex Harrison (Ross Thomas, CSI) an adrenaline-junkie surfer and in-line skater. And though Alex is officially tied to another girl, the partnership takes an intriguing turn when the two opt to go doubles for a skating championship, just like Jackie's folks once did. Soon, hints of romance between them fill the air. Could these two acerbic, bickering opposites ever find lasting happiness? The Cutting Edge 2: Going for the Gold features a cameo by world-champion figure skater Oksana Baiul. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    This movie fell short of catching what the first one had. Good acting. Didn't like this adaption at all.

    There's a reason why Christy Carlson Romano's career never took off like Hilary Duff's did. Well considering Hilary Duff's career is now in the toilet, maybe that's not such a bad thing. Being a stay-at-home mom has its benefits, too.

    Good movie but too much like the 1st one. They could have made this movie a bit different. It would have been nice to seen the same character maybe showing more of their story.

    I really liked this one, it's the best out of the three. Ross Thomas is hot and Christy Carlson Romano actually plays a good role.

    Not as good as the first one, but it still ends up being a good movie. It kinda had the same plot as the original, but also had it's difference that didn't make it seem like you were just watching the same movie with different actors. A good movie and I loved the ice skating scenes.
