Director: Paul Michael Glaser
Stars: D.B Sweeney, Moira Kelly, Terry O'Quinn
When hockey player Doug Dorsey (Sweeney), gets hit in the head one too many times, his hopes of going pro are over. Meanwhile, figure skater Kate Moseley (Kelly) falls while skating at the Olympics and is now looking for a new partner for the next winter Olympics. Her coach finds Dorsey, a wonderful skater, and brings him in to audition for the part.
Doug and Kate clash instantly, but he's her last hope for a partner. She's run out of time. They begin to skate together, and Doug struggles through the transition from hockey skating to figure skating. And Kate doesn't make it easier for him. They make through Nationals and then onto France for the winter Olympics. And somewhere along the way, they fall in love.
I LOVE this one. Here's a crazy thing about it: whenever I watch it, I never think of Sweeney and Kelly having stunt doubles. I don't think you can tell, they made it so well!
It's not the cleanest movie, but not dirty. There's no sex, just implied sex. It's not exactly a Christmas movie, but most of it takes place in winter, and there's ice, of course.
