8/10
Better than the second one

"The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream" is basically the first movie in reverse: a male figure skater needs a new partner, and he finds her in the form of a hockey player.

For mine, the film's biggest selling point is the chemistry between the stars Matt Lanter as Zack Conroy and Francia Raisa as Alejandra 'Alex' Delgado. The rich boy and the poor girl. The skater and the hockey player. They made a hugely believable couple right from the outset. All their scenes together were very well done.

Also, it was nice to see a connection to the original film, through Christy Romano's Jackie Dorsey, the daughter of Doug and Kate.

And look out for a cameo from noted TSN Canada broadcaster Rod Black.

Sure, there are some very predictable - almost formulaic - parts in the fim, but that's the case with most of these rom-coms. It definitely doesn't detract from the film's overall entertainment, and it is indeed entertaining. Not to mention that it's a vast and welcome improvement on the sequel, which was quite dull.
