Figure libre

Though I found this movie very cute and had a good story line... it totally distorted what figure skating is all about. Many people think that figure skating is a independent sport which it is as you are not on a team but skaters tend to encourage each help each other and give others tips to succeed when they share ice time. There may be enemies between people but it's like that with every sport. The image they portray about the competition, coaches and friendships between figure skaters is simply inaccurate.

Katelin Kingsford, an Olympic hopeful figure skater wants to train with a Russian figure skating coach. In order to go to the school that Natasha is at, Katelin gets a scholarship playing on the girls hockey team.

Watching a sequence of cute Disney movies, watching the second one about women's ice skating, another one of those about teen resilience with cute messages at the end, I have a soft spot for those water with sugar films from the early 2000s... It doesn't subtract anything, although they add in short, they are nice to pass the time... Extremely forced ending, and female rivalry still bothers me in these films... Cute and simple...

This was a Disney Channel Original Movie, so it can't be expected to be a masterpiece, but it was entertaining and had a good theme.

It centers around Katelin who is one of the best figure skaters around where she lives. A Russian figure skating coach decides to help make her the best, but her parents won't pay for her to go to boarding school. By pulling a few strings Natasha(the Russian coach) manages to get her a full scholarship at the same school, but for hockey instead. Katelin has to work extra hard if she wants to be the best. As well as keeping it a secret that she's a figure skater because all the girls on the hockey team despise figure skaters.

The movie was good. The story was somewhat unrealistic(like in the aspect that she gets a full scholarship for a hockey team), but not way predictable. It entertained me and had me rooting for Katelin. I'd recommend it to all kids around 14 or so and younger. And to parents if they can understand that it's aimed at the kids and not them.

Yes, it was a sweet theme, that girls can choose for themselves who they want to be. And, it's always great to see a movie about figure skating, a sport that can always use more attention from commercial sponsors. But let's be real. No figure skater would ever be so stoooopid as to believe that she could use hockey skates to do a double toe jump. Since when do hockey skates have toe picks? Duh, duh, duh. Why couldn't they have had a more realistic movie about girls and sports? Disney has such a massive reach. I wish the producers had combined their commercial interests with a greater shot of reality. That would have been an entertaining *and* realistic movie. Not so much to ask, is it?

This movie was entertaining (as other users have stated)! Although some of the information, in the movie, was inaccurate, some of it was true.

The way the writers and characters explained the life of the figure skaters and of the hockey players was kind of confusing, considering all the back and forth of the backgrounds and time periods. Also as another user commented, why wouldn't a teacher or a normal person walking in the hallway ask why the girl was covered in purple paint. Most teachers are worried about the well being of the students.They have to be a little more realistic and explain a little more about what is going on. And, most figure skaters aren't so much about make up and "GLITTER". It's about fulfilling your dreams at what you are good at.

Although I don't know too much about judging movies, this movies had a good point and had a good "lesson" to learn. It was a little enlightening but it didn't have a very good focal point. It also didn't go too much into detail about the main character's life, so we/the viewer could know more about the persons background and what she has accomplished before she went to her new school.

Well as I have already stated, this movie was good, but it needed to be more realistic and self explanatory.
