PLOT:

Hardworking single mom Kathleen is trying to save enough money to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoe. But even for someone trying to make a living, she goes way beyond her job description when she agrees to act as her boss's wife to impress a potential investor. The investor, however, isn't quite what he seems, and the deal that ends up on the table is far from just business. Can Sam (her boss) open up enough to let love's warmth melt the ice around his heart? If he can, he might just discover that family and loyalty are the best friends money cannot buy.

Movie Review:

This is one of those perfect little Christmas Movies that you cherish year after year. There is such great chemistry between Roma Downey & Eric McCormack's characters - Kathleen & Sam... it makes for such a sweet little Christmas Romantic Comedy. And Kathleen's daughter Zoe - what a personality... she's so adorable! She is smart and clever... why, you never quite know what she'll say - and she is so brave, caring, and loving to everyone around her. She's quite the little character. What she wants most is for her Daddy to come home and for them to all live in the real-life version of her doll house. Unfortunately, her Daddy has no desire to make that reality.

In the meantime... they are all becoming close to Kathleen's boss, Sam and he is falling for them, too... on the ice and in love! Will business come between them or will true love save the day? It just may take a little help from an Angel to help them along their way.

I don't want to spoil the ending, for anyone who hasn't seen it ~ however, I must say... it does have a very sweet and Happy Ending!

The Cutting Edge Movies - Not for Family Viewing!

-
The Cutting Edge has been CUT from the Family TV Schedule.

I did a little research into The Cutting Edge - Ice Skating Movies - due to ABC Family playing all four on Sunday - March 14, 2010.

I have viewed a little of the first movies years ago and remember being disappointed with the relationship of the ice skaters. Let's just say - it wasn't exactly family friendly. So... I wondered, if this one would be any different... Guess what? It's Not.

THE REVIEWS BELOW ARE FOR PARENTS and ADULTS:
(My information was obtained from Common Sense Media:)

 

The Cutting Edge (1992): TV - PG - D

(The D is for Adult Dialogue. In my opinion, there should be an S here, too, due to several immoral sexual scenes with Doug and two different women at different times + another moment with Kate. There should also be an L for Language in the Rating.)

The Cutting Edge - Going for the Gold (2006): TV - 14 - L

(I'm glad they put an L on this one, because the Language is Terrible. I was surprised to see the Sweet Sister, Ren, from Even Stevens in such a role. There should also be an S in this rating, too - for several sexual situations.)

The Cutting Edge - Chasing the Dream (2008): TV - PG - D - L

(This movie includes more immoral sexual involvement and adult dialogue... including characters discussing being intimately together.)

The Cutting Edge - Fire and Ice (2010): TV - 14 - D - L - V

(This Movie includes Adult Dialogue, Language, and Violence. There are several sexual situations in their shared apartment, a locker room, and a nasty game of poker.)

I have not seen all of these "Cutting Edge" Movies, (I saw parts of the first two and turned them off) but from what I have read and shared with you from Common Sense Media, I do not desire to see any of these Movies. I shared with you these descriptions to warn you of these movies content. I hope, you, too, will join me in watching or doing something else with your families during this time.

ABC Family is often times not a channel for families. In my opinion there should be no Secret Life of the American Teenager. Parents need to get more involved - by giving their children and teenagers guide lines and moral values.

If you enjoy Ice Skating Movies, then may I suggest watching :

• Disney's - Ice Princess,
• Disney's Original Movie - Go Figure
• Hallmark Channel's New Ice Skating Movie - Ice Dreams!

All of the movies I suggested are perfectly entertaining and Family Friendly. Boys may also enjoy the Disney Hockey Trilogy - Mighty Ducks. There's also cute skating scenes in Borrowed Hearts, The Bishop's Wife, and A Boyfriend for Christmas!

Have a Wonderful Weekend !!!
