Noël sur la glace

Decent love story, awful skating, weird casting choice. From the very start of the movie, it was obvious that the actress was way too old to be portraying a famous figure skater. Most retire in their mid to late twenties and she was definitely in her thirties. And if she's a gold medalist, she should be doing triples left and right along with spinning, jumping, etc. I'm no expert, but that was pathetic. The romance was sweet, the daughter with the French cereal name was sweet. The mom was sweet. The stuff with the coach was stupid, but I guess they had to throw some drama in there somehow. Anyway, decent Christmas movie.

This was a very cute and charming romance. But the skating was bad. This was not a woman with the skating skills and jump technique of a national champion. And that was not a triple axel. Also, a silver medal at Nationals most likely would've gotten her to Worlds as there are typically 2 spots open for Canadian or American female skaters. So her medal in the beginning should've been a bronze. Anyways that's just details that only fans of figure skating would know so it probably doesn't matter much to the general audience. It is a really adorable romantic movie that the whole family can enjoy.

A bit lame and hokey but enjoyable. An international figure skater is sent to a mountain rehabilitation retreat center and meets a former hockey player and learns maybe there is more to life after skating. Cute premise and story, nice to see Lisa Whelchel from Facts of Life! The only thing that was "off" were the fake vista screens for some of the outdoor shots. Enjoyable overall.

Great movie with great scenery and predictable story line. Obviously the writers know nothing about ice fishing. Five people never share one hole in the ice and worms and standard fishing poles are not used by ice fisherman! In the ice skating scene the little girl is given like two minutes on the ice. Ridiculous! Otherwise a nice family movie with a common ending!

The movie was cute, and the main characters likeable. I liked the storyline. But omg could the writers not do some basic research on figure skating? That was novice level skating at best, and trying to pass off a loop as a triple Axel??? lol. A stunt double who could actually do triple jumps (as needed to be a national medalist), and getting rid of those stupid spotlights would have gone an awful long way into making the skating scenes more convincing.
