Zack (Lanter) was headed for the gold when his partner suffered an injury that made competing impossible, but could a feisty female hockey player prove the key to keeping his illustrious career on track? Alexandra is an amateur Latina hockey player who has never skated professionally and doesn't much care for Zack, though a little determination goes a long way in helping Zack convince her to join him on the ice.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Desertman84 The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream is a TV movie that follows the 2006 direct-to-video release movie,The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold.It was shown on ABC.It stars Matt Lanter and Francia Raisa.Christy Carlson Romano,the star of the second The Cutting Edge,is among the supporting cast.Zach Conroy and Celeste Mercier are the hottest couple on and off the ice.Then a nasty spill knocks Celeste out of competition. Zach has to quickly find another partner for the Paris championship meet. In glides Alejandra "Alex" Delgado, a beautiful,tough-talking hockey player with fierce moves and a fearless skating style. Zach is willing to give her a chance, but his coach, Bryan, is hesitant. However after a fight almost erupts between Bryan and Alex's brother he quits in a huff to train Zach's biggest rivals, Cindy Halgyord and Jason Bright. This leaves Zach with a newbie partner and no coach.Then Jackie Dorsey steps in and puts Zach and Alex through their paces to remain focused on practice in spite of their continuous fighting and bickering.What is also bothering them is their growing attraction to one another.When Alex sees a photo with Zach kissing Celeste she feels hurt and leaves but with the help of her brother and Zach they get back together right in time for their performance. Right before they are about to get their turn at the competition,Zach profess his love for Alex and both give a flawless performance.The End.Just like the The Cutting Edge 2 movie,this third film follows the same thematic plots and elements of the first film such as one being a hockey player only this time the woman happens to be one instead of the male and professing the partners love for one another that leads to winning performance in the first Cutting Edge.Do I need to even mention that Zack and Alex are going to do the same Pamchenko twist that Kate and Doug did after professing their love to one another?Too bad that is is practically a blatant rehash for the Sweeney- Kelly starrer.Many of the events in the screenplay is taken from the original.The only good thing about it is that the leads,Matt Lanter and Francia Rais,have decent chemistry and more energy.Although it is a better film compared to The Cutting Edge 2,it still does not hold a candle to the first classic film.Only younger viewers or viewers who aren't familiar with classic Cutting Edge movie would probably appreciate it.
angelshalz "Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream" is an ABC original movie that doesn't fail to entertain but is rather formulated and cliché, especially since the previous two movies in the Cutting Edge series have the same plot: An ice hockey player teaming up with an ice figure skater to win an ice figure skating competition. I personally find it annoying, why can't the figure skater turn into a hockey player to win the ice hockey championship for a change? Anyways, following the exclusive "Cutting Edge formula," through their partnership, the players get infatuated to each other, or should I say "fall in love". The actors were okay, I thought Francia Raisa did a great job acting as the high-headed and aggressive hockey player while Matt Lanter looked good but wasn't all that interesting. Christy Carlson Romano didn't have much to do except walk around and look unsatisfied as their coach.
NYlife Man, this movie should've been called "Wasted Talent" because that's what it is, I'm not gonna hold back because Christy Romano is a Talented Actress that has yet to bust loose because of a certain "Transformers" actor & I DON'T MEAN OPTIMUS PRIME OR MEGATRON!. This is a hack & slash job of a Bad movie. Christy can do ANYTHING in the world & I'd still love her work, but this is by & large the biggest mess of a movie. It just took the worst of the first two films & pasted it together. Christy had nothing to do & what's worst I had more fun watching cheese age. I'd rather be paid money to watch Ben Affleck & J.Lo in Gigli. With only one exception that Christy Romano is awesome talent this movie shouldn't have been made.
naiviprez I saw it last night and loved it. I loved the first one too. It was one of my favorite romantic movies. When the second one was announced, I was so excited. But the movie disappointed me because although the protagonist are great, the movie was slow. In some scenes, they weren't acting natural. I aren't accusing the protagonists maybe the guilty one was the director... who knows? It was such a pity. On the other hand, this movie is way better than the second one. It is fantastic. The chemistry was there and the movie was smooth and sweet. He is so handsome and she is gorgeous. They made such a cute couple. The only "but" was the ending. It was almost an exact replica of the first one. How sad, the plot was different and refreshing. Regardless of that, it is a nice romantic movie.
