The young beautiful daughter of the skaters from the cutting edge is reluctantly paired with a handsome but aimless inline skater to begin training for olympics pairs figure skating.

Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/28/2007 Starring: Christy Carlson Romano Run time: 99 minutes Rating: Pg13
Also known as The Cutting Edge 2, Going for the Gold is both a sequel to and a remake of the 1992 film with Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney. After their skating careers came to an end, Kate and Doug opened a rink. In addition, he became a sports commentator and she became a coach. Jackie (Christy Carlson Romano, Even Stevens, Kim Possible) is their daughter. Like her parents, she's a figure skater, but an injury forces her to turn to pairs. In the meantime, her parents encourage her to take a vacation. While in California, she meets talented surfer/in-line skater Alex (Ross Thomas), who takes a more "extreme sports" approach to life. The uptight Jackie and laid-back Alex hit it off at first, but their romance quickly fizzles (Doug was a hockey player in the original Cutting Edge). Jackie returns home to start looking for a pairs partner. When Alex hears the news, just as a lucrative endorsement deal has fallen through, he travels to Connecticut to audition. Turns out, he's just as good on the ice as on the asphalt (and in the ocean). A partnership is born. Of course, the two bicker at first--plus Alex has a girlfriend--but as they learn to skate together, true love inevitably blooms. Featuring Olympic gold medallist Oksana Baiul as a skating analyst and Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars) as one of Alex's surfing buddies. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The Cutting Edge - Going for the Gold:
I would highly recommend this seller. Quality product and service. Seller described the DVD exactly.
This garbage? Instead of Kim Possible?:
Both the actress & Disney are wasting their time with this. WHEN WILL DISNEY RELEASE THE COMPLETE KIM POSSIBLE SERIES?
awesome:
i really liked this it was a great movie and the twist and turns of alex's feelings for jackie were what made the movie for me.when the two were together it was like doug and kate all over again only pissed off and confussed. great movie people who hate it can but this is a movie where you see what can happen when pair skaters fall in love.
A sequel or a remake?:
I don't think they decided if this will be a remake or a sequel of The Cutting Edge. It was a good movie but the identity crisis caused too many issues. You could predict what would happen when, which makes it a remake, but going in, you think it is a sequel. At any rate, if you watched the original, you probably won't be very interested in this one. If you didn't watch the first one, you may enjoy this one more as it has been updated.
