This is an easy movie to watch and I would have liked it, if it weren't for the ending. The characters are charming and quirky. The application of physics to ice skating is interesting. It's nice to have a girl-lead who is brainy and awkward, yet cute and confident, and who falls for the Zamboni driver, instead of the quarterback. It was also a pleasure to see girls be supportive of each other, instead of nasty. So why did they ruin it all by suggesting that it was right for an 18 year old girl to choose pursuing ice skating (which she has been doing competitively for less than a year) over a scholarship to Harvard (a lifetime experience likely to lead to amazing opportunities for her future)? Let's teach girls that it's good to be a geek!
