good film but with many flaws
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I have saw the movie for the first time... I think it's a good movie... I really loved Nicholle Tom's acting... It's not easy to interpret a person of the opposite sex, the way Nicholle did. The way she sits, talk, the gestures etc... This movie really shows why Nicholle is a great actress...I love the movie... even though I don't like the ending... I mean... what happened to Mat and Sarah after that "Sarah" won?!!... But it's an enjoyable movie to watch... I don't follow the Olympics as such but you don't have to look at the film as though it gives a bad name to the hockey teams... You just have to enjoy watching the film... That's all!
I saw this movie and was excited how Nichole Tom plays her role as woman/male act! she is excellent!!!!!! than the role of Tara Lipinski how she still skates!!! It is a film for the whole family, with the up and downs behind the scenes!! for me it is an excellent movie to let children and adults let know of the up and downs of figure skating! but see it and tell yourself what you think about it. I saw Nichole Tom in one of here best roles, also Tara Lipinski!!!!!!
Comparing it to Heaven can wait, which was made on a major motion picture's budget, at the pace of a feature film (twice as much time to film as a tv movie) is hardly fair.This film is quite nice for a low budget film produced for a cable network. The lead actress was good in her role. Her performance was on a par with Ellen Barkin in Switch, as a friend of mine commented.The pace of the story is good, and the fantasy elements are kept believable by the writing and acting skills. There were some performances that were simplistic, but mostly for secondary performances, not those of the lead characters. The parents did border on being parodies of dumb parents however in a few scenes.Skating scenes were also believable.The film may not be an Oscar winner, but it had heart and soul, and relied on more than cliches to tell the story. (Not that there were no cliches!) But it was a good, enjoyable film I would watch again.
I myself thought that this film was great and witty too, its one of a few movies that Tara Lipinski (an Olympic Gold medalist) has appeared in but hopefully more to come because she is a rare talent and i think that this movie was really good. see ye Carol
