1. This is a fun movie, with lots of dancing and colorful costumes. The singing is so-so, as are the songs. Possibly they were more lively when the movie first came out.
   
   The young people are multi-talented, and the older crew (Richard Basehart and Eleanor Parker) are first-rate. A great film for all ages, even the children! It's easy to get swept away with the snow, the ice-racing and all the beautiful dancing. A heartfelt story with a happy ending.



2. From a big kid at heart, one of my very favorite family movies.
   HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!



3. Are you of Dutch origin and interested in Dutch culture and customs? Then this movie is for you. This movie has all the trappings of 19th century old-world Dutch life, complete with ice-skating, outdoor markets and a visit from Saint Nicholas.
   I did not like the character of the Baroness Eleanor Parker played in "The Sound of Music," but in this film, she is a sensitive and caring mother to her children and very attentive wife to the ailing father. Unless her singing roles are being dubbed by a voice-over, if that's her singing, then I would wonder why she never pursued a singing career. I never heard of her in anything else but "The Sound of Music" so far.
   Especially amusing is the table-manner song performed by the inn keeper and the boys.
   Again, for anyone interested in Dutch culture, this film is for you.



4. very very impressed I'v looked for this for a couple years i recommend it to everyone all childern should see this



5. This is based on the Mary Mapes story of Hans Brinker or actually a small part of it, dealing with a race in Holland. Where this film exceeds is not so much the acting, but the story telling and the plot. Also it takes us back to a place, time and era that is quite exquisite. It's an honest story and the characters themselves are quite colorful to watch. In a rare sense, this is one of the best movies that will leave you feeling great. It is just that well written. More over it is rare in another sense too. Both Adults and Children alike will love this flick. Male, female, almost all genres of people all walks of life will generally love this flick. It is an honest and great little story and should carry on a cult following for decades to come. It also stars the late Richard Bashart of VTTB fame, and his performance of a father looking for a lost son ties in a neat subplot, all with a very very happy ending. You will enjoy this title every year.....!

1. Kids love this DVD. Cute with no bad language. Definitely a "little chick" flick!



2. A movie for the whole family to enjoy.It teaches you to follow your dreams and enjoy life.



3. I just love this movie its one of my favorites and the music vidoes are my favorite besides the movie on the dvd .



4. Wonderful! Nice story, fast pace. Kim Cattrall both likable & rugged at the same time. Whole cast terrific!! Music nice!



5. It was an okay movie but I don't know anything about figure skating or physics to understand it fully. I didn't find the ending very good and it wasn't really extremely funny or entertaining. It was an okay movie though.

1. Will Ferrell at his best. to my oppinion this is one of will ferell's best movies. jon heder & will ferell make a good comedic team. this movie was awesome.



2. This movie while obviously being over the top and somewhat too gay for words to describe , works on some sick twisted level. Somehow the passion that the two skaters share for their sport and winning comes off as genuine and heartfelt . It was funny and sometimes crude and obnoxious, ok most of the time. If you can get past the crudeness and the quasi homo erotic themes, well I say its 2 hours well spent. Perhaps it may inspire something in your gut other than queasy disgust. Smell the lotus.



3. If you are a Will Ferrell fan, this is your movie. Funny stuff from the whole cast. I give it four stars. Careful with young kids. No nudity or anything, but Will Ferrell does play a sex addict.



4. "Blades of Glory" truly brings out the charisma and brilliance of the sport of figure skating. Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as (Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy respectively) have done a fantastic job at bringing this sport into people's attention.
   
   It's not everyday that an unorthodox gamble gets made so well in a movie, but "Blades of Glory" is able to pull it off, and quite full of typical Farrell gags, from time to time.
   
   Chazz and Jimmy are long-time rivals, who share the Gold Medal for figure skating, only to create an embarrassing scene at the medal ceremony and stripped of the Gold as a result of that, and banned from the sport for life. They lose all that they've striven to achieve and are left abandoned in their miserly existence, until one fine day fate brings them together.
   
   Through a loophole in the regulations, they realize that they've been banned from their own division (of Men's Singles Skating). They can very well compete in the Couples event. What better partner for each than the other - they figure!
   
   What follows is not quite as brilliant as some of other sport movies you might've seen. But you've got to remember - this is a Will Ferrell movie, and that means something. Look out for those gags, some of which clearly seem to be out of context in the story, but will surely make you laugh; even if you wonder a moment later what's happening to the central plot of the movie.
   
   Never mind all those questions. This is a movie made to amuse and enjoy. In fact, a little more than Semi Pro was able to do. Not one of the Ferrell's best works, but certainly watchable.
   
   Performance-wise, Ferrell does a good job. I discovered a good artist out of this - Jon Heder.
   
   Overall Score: 4 / 5



5. The sender mailed my DVD without its orginal DVD case. It was taped to a piece of cardboard. I haven't watched the movie yet, but wouldn't doubt that its scratched.

1. If you never caught this made-for-TV movie back in the late 80s, don't miss the chance to see it now. Ricki Lake is adorable & the movie is a heartfelt paean to all those who dream of a guy/girl seemingly out of your reach.



2. What a truly touching movie. Directed in a film reality format. Love is more than skin deep. On a rainy afternoon get a cup of tea and curl up of the sofa and enjoy. Thank you Paul Schneider!



3. This movie has such a great message about looking at inner beauty. So few people do. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. I saw this movie when I was a teenager and always loved it. I remember when I was single and looking for the right man. I just wanted someone who would accept me for who I am. You see, I'm a big girl too, and I found a man who loves me for who I am, and he's just as handsome as Rob! This movie isn't just a fantasy, because dreams do come true! I know mine certainly did!



4. Grace is a Mortuary Makeup Artist with a heart of gold. Grace is also lonely and overweight. Everyone keeps telling her how good she would look if she would just loose weight and how she'll never get a boyfriend if she doesn't lose weight. Grace has one friend, Carrie, who has a dismal outlook on life despite her high intelligence. Grace and Carrie notice a handsome, fit, movie star looking ice skater one night. Grace decides he is the man for her and sets out on a 3 week course over Christmas to catch him.
   
   Grace and Rob fall in love, dispite their obvious physical differences. Grace shows amazing dedication to Rob, but in the process manages to hurt Carrie. Another aspect of this movie is Rob's "bunny" girlfriend Olivia, who is currently out of town, allowing Grace her chance at Rob.
   
   All goes haywire when Olivia returns to town to find Rob not home, not at work and not ice skating. Carrie lets it slip that Rob is with Grace at a new year's eve party. When Olivia finds them, she manages to tear Grace down and do nothing to Rob, since it is always the woman's fault.
   
   You see Grace return to her job and life after Rob. The sad thing is that she returns to sad Grace. But she decides that she is ready for some "live action". Grace decides to go on without Rob. She is heading off into her new life when Rob sees her, happy and on her own and decides that he does truly love Grace and declares it to everyone and Grace on the subway.
   
   This is a cute love story. There is minimal cussing, but there is the aspect that Grace and Rob are carrying on an affair. But to show that love has no boundaries despite physical appearances is great! I truly loved this movie!



5. This movie is wonderful.I love it.It lets you see that what is on the inside is important not what is on the outside.A great movie to lift you up when your feeling down.

5 comments about Ice Castles.

1. This is one of my all time favorite movies and I had no idea that it was in DVD form. I was so excited to get this movie once again, as the VHS tape had broken some time back and I had not been able to find it to replace it. Thanks so much for offering this item!



2. This was a very good movie. Very moving. It shows the strength and determination after a terrible accident and the love that comes from that.



3. Of course we've all seen this movie, but I couldn't wait to see it again. It arrived packaged well and very promptly.



4. I was excited when my Niece mentioned she wanted this movie, because years ago I watched it and thought it was a wonderful movie that anyone would enjoy watching over and over again. the fact that I was able to get it from Amazon was terrific.



5. Una verdadera delicia es ver este filme que practicamente nos deja con un nudo en la garganta; la historia de la patinadora que de la nada se hace increiblemente famosa, se convierte en promesa para las olimpiadas y que, de pronto, en el mejor momento de su llegada a la fama, sufre un terrible accidente que la deja casi ciega e incapacitada. Gracias a un coraje sin igual, una tremenda lucha contra la invalidez (aun contra si misma) y a unos seres queridos (su padre, su novio y su protectora)que lo haran todo por amor, lograran lo IMPOSIBLE!!!; una de esas peliculas que llevan la etiqueta de "INOLVIDABLE" con letras mayusculas!!, yo la primera vez que la vi fue en el cine, y francamente me hizo llorar... desde entonces he aprovechado toda oportunidad para verla de nuevo, pues es de esas peliculas que no se cansa uno nunca de verlas.

5 comments about The Cutting Edge - Chasing the Dream.

1. Great movie, first saw it on TV and enjoyed it so much that I has to purchase it on DVD



2. I love all of the Cutting Edge movies and this is a great continuation of the storyline of people coming together and overcoming obstacles to reach their goals.



3. Those who try to compare the latter titles to the original are not giving the sequels a fair shake. The original Cutting Edge was hands down the best. Going For the Gold was terrible, acting, character depth, need I say more. Chasing The Dream was great. The skating footage was a lot better, the drama was there. The acting was right on and the character development and depth was outstanding. If you are a fan of the original this one is definitely worth a look, but stay away from Going for The gold. In the end I thought this was a very well put together film and very well rounded I highly Recommend.



4. this is a newly released DVD and I purchased this from Amazon for half the price of the department stores here. New DVD factory sealed.



5. While not my favorite of the trilogy, this waw tied with the second installment. Both characters were lovable and you wanted them to win from the moment they began working as pairs against all odds.

5 comments about The Cutting Edge - Gold Medal Edition.

1. I was very impressed with this 1st movie-I had both the 2nd & 3rd movie. The vendor was timely & the movie was great!! I also checked the special features & learned about how the skaters had done with their ice skating. I was very impressed with both the skaters & the way the movie was done.
   
   Excellent all the way!!



2. I love this movie. Two hard to get a long with people lost thier chance at the Gold for the Olympics. One a spoiled rich girl the other an arrogant philanderer who lost peripheral vision and works in a bar. Now these 2 must compete together in order to get the gold. If they dont kill each other first. Its just awesome to watch these 2 together.
   
   In this special edition you get to see the actors interviewed now (some ten years later) It only about 20 minutes worth but I really enjoyed it.



3. Loved the movie, first saw it on TV, a great starter to the other two movies that follow it



4. I loved this movie. It was awesome. Its the frist in a set of three. The story is beautiful. It shows triumph over both personal and physical tribulations. And the loves story was beautiful. The stars were perfect for their parts. Cast well done. This is just and over all perfect movie.



5. As expected, an old plot, a very old plot, done with new technology, new faces and in color. Like an ice cream sundae, always good for a few minutes of relaxation, with no lingering negative after effects.
