So, awhile back I was deciding on some old reviews to delete, and I guess this was one of them. It probably wasn't a great review, but it was surely better than anything I could say now. At the moment, I'm using the Wayback Machine to find my old reviews, but failed to find this one. Probably because I never actually had linked to it from anywhere on my site. I think I was waiting to figure out where to put it, and never did. Even now I'm not sure where to put the review, but I guess since it's Disney, "family" is as good a category as any. (Edit: Some years later I created a "sports movies" category, and moved the review there.) Anyway, I'm sure I didn't love the film, but it was okay. Mainly I wanted to see it because Michelle Trachtenberg was in it. The movie also has some other people I like, including Hayden Panettiere, Joan Cusack, and Kim Cattrall.
Trachtenberg plays Casey Carlyle, a girl who is trying to get a college scholarship to study physics. And she ends up deciding to do a project based on applying physics to figure skating, which she used to do when she was a kid. When she takes it up again now, not having done it for years (and never very seriously), she gets good much faster than is really believable. But anyway, she likes it more than she expected to. There are some other skaters who are more serious about competitive skating, including one named Gen Harwood (Panettiere). And... honestly, that's all I remember. I really wish I hadn't deleted my old review. But whatever. It's really not important, I basically just wanted to mention I'd seen the movie. I didn't think I'd ever want to see it again, but maybe I will, someday. Or not.
