Trailer Synopsis Cast

A world class ice skater eager to take the top prize in the biggest competition around finds his dreams going up in flames after his partner suffers a debilitating injury in this romantic sports drama starring Matt Lanter, Francia Rosa, and Christy Carlson Romano. Zack (Lanter) was headed for the gold when his partner suffered an injury that made competing impossible, but could a feisty female hockey player prove the key to keeping his illustrious career on track? Alexandra is an amateur Latina hockey player who has never skated professionally and doesn't much care for Zack, though a little determination goes a long way in helping Zack convince her to join him on the ice. Now, as this unlikely pair begins the arduous training process that could make them both bona-fide superstars, the girl with the icy attitude finds her handsome partner's warmth and charm bringing about a most unexpected thaw.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I loved this movie, however, I am forced to recognize other people's comments as valid. And just a historical fact the Winter Olympics are only held every for years. The end of the movie they win the Gold. This was supposed to be them at the Olympics right? And someone mentioned the line delivered by Christy Carlson Ramono about it being 5 years since seeing each other at the last Olympics and they still had like 5 weeks before qualifying point is time-lines for all three movies are off. From The Cutting Edge to Going For The Gold, she was an adult in the movie yet like another person mentioned it would have been impossible for her to be but 13-14 years old mathematically. And the transition to the 3rd movie is mentioned as 5 years, but the banner says 2006, which means it had to be 2 years. IF you can overlook the time-line, I think all 3 movies have their upsides and their drops. It's a toss-up for me whether the original or the third is better. I think the third is more appealing to the younger crowd, but the first one will definitely be the classic.

i thought this movie was the weakest of the three movies,mainly because there's zero tension between the two main characters,and the story isn't really there.that's just my opinion,of course.there also isn't really any excitement,even in the skating sequences.i never really felt invested in the story or the characters.having said all that,i did find the movie passably entertaining,and i never felt bored.Christy Romano(Jackie Dorsey) has a very small role in the film,which is unfortunate.to me,this film had a TV movie feel to it,which isn't always a bad thing.i just expected more from this movie.it's not horrible,by any means,,but for me,it's about average.i give The Cutting Edge 3:Chasing the Dream a 5/10

I love this movie and it is better than any of them. the music is great, especially the one named "it's to late to apologize" and the last song played at the final skating scene. The pan Chen jump is the sweetest skating move i've ever seen. This movie is a masterpiece you have to see and buy on DVD.!!!! I love this movie and its so engaging and it will make you want to get up and skate. The people in this movie are good looking and great extraordinary actors. I wish I was one but over all this movie is a one of a kind a thriller Its an exhilarating ride for Ice skate lovers everywhere!!!!! O MY GOD i love this movie really.

I LOVE the original CE. And the second was okay too. But the 3rd just doesn't cut it. So they set up two new lead male and female characters, and bring back Christy Carlson Romano, switch a few MINOR details, and yet it still didn't make me feel a thing. They brought a new male skater who is really hot and a good actor and skater. But the girl just couldn't carry her performance along his side. The chemistry between the two leads fells almost forced. But Romano does give a more solid job in this movie as their badass coach. The love story AND ending is SHOCKINGLY similar, just with more drama regarding the male character's previous relationship. Oh, and there is an engagement in this part too. This movie is nothing special but will help as mindless entertainment.
