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 !!!

PLOT:

from ABC Family :

Once upon a time, champion figure skater Alex Delgado (Francia Raisa) was known for taking risks. After all, she's the one who landed a death-defying Pamchenko jump. But now she's without a partner, and playing it safe as a skating instructor.

Then a world-class coach approaches her, and Alex thinks she's got a shot at getting back in the game. Until she meets her new partner, James McKinsey (Brendan Fehr), aka the "Bad Boy of Speed Skating." James was on his way to Nationals when he did something to get himself banned from the sport and dumped by his sponsors. He sees teaming up with Alex as his way to stay on the ice and get to Nationals and beyond.

Alex thinks it's just a PR stunt, so she says no. At first. James convinces her he's sincere, if not totally cocky, and after a little soul-searching, Alex agrees to be his partner. They work out harder than they ever have ... and their amazing chemistry causes sparks on and off the ice.

But is it enough?

They've got the talent. They've got the chemistry. All they need is a killer move.
James thinks he's got it -- a move no one else has ever done. But it requires complete trust and total dedication. Can Alex take the greatest risk of her life and put her faith in James? When it comes down to the wire, will James stand by his partner or ice her out?

In the end, will Alex and James spin their fire into gold, or will they get burned?


Movie Review:

This Movie is filled with Adult Dialogue, Language, and Violence. There are several immoral sexual situations in the ice skating pair's shared apartment, and also in a locker room... plus a nasty game of strip poker.



See or Skip: I strongly suggest skipping this one.
