This is a solid outing in the figure skating / teen angst genre, but the whole family can enjoy it. Don't expect your teen sons to hang around, although as the girls are pretty they might, but otherwise that is one demographic this movie will not grab - not a big surprise.....
What I did find surprising is that Elvis Stojko is actually one of the character leads, but he does not get that billing when you view the credit summary. And he does a good job in his role, he is a much better actor then many of the performances I have endured in other movies recently. He is not a big guy (I think both the teen female leads were actually taller then he when they were all on skates) he looks like he could do well in a more action oriented role were he to take that on.
While not academy award material, and all the clichés including the domineering mother, the teen rivalry, etc are on full display, that does not take away from the fact the teen leads are all credible, appear to do most of their own skating, and nothing seemed too out of place or to stretch the imagination beyond reason.
Things wrap up a bit too neatly, but that is the way of Disney movies... a happy ending with skimpy plot devices (such as 2 separate budding romances) all falling aside without further thought once the budget has run out! In its genre, I give it a 6-6.5.
