Cute, but Inaccurate and a Bit Stretched.
Posted .From books to looks--that's the basic lowdown of this movie. A stereotypically nerdy girl who, from what she knew, could recite the principles of physics more easily than she could apply lipgloss learns that her strength of smarts is not her passion, rather, a newfound glory, skating is what her heart yearns for. It's about her convincing herself and her Get-into-Harvard-Single-Working-Needs-the-Cash-mother that she herself really does have her heart set to getting into the Ivy League and getting the best education, and accepting that it's okay to fall in love with something that may not require the best of education or award you the highest pay, or last a whole lifetime (physical strength fades as intellectual strength grows). After rereading what I wrote, I make this move sound 10x better than it really is. The fundamental flaws of this movie is what makes it appear less than it could have been, but the heart at least makes this movie enough to suffice a dreamy little girl's craving for passion. The Big Problem: The girl may have been excellent on computers and science, but any ice skater will tell you that this girls extremely quick jump into some of skating's most difficult moves is HIGHLY unrealistic. It just doesn't happen. It gives girls the false pretense that anyone can jump into it and excel, which just leads to disappointment. Now, in general, encouraging people to never fear trying something out is not bad... but I think they should have made everything a bit less stretched and it could have been just as warming. Some may have an issue of the movie being less universal by having a bit extreme stereotypes behind the smart girl and the ice princesses. The smart girl being so absorbed in books that her social skills lag entirely and the ice princesses so spoiled and snobby and glamorous that not just anyone could be accepted. I think I agree with that to a certain extent. Perhaps, the movie was meant to show girls that anyone...no matter how lacking they are in a certain department, has an equal chance to become something glamorous. Another inspiring girls to enter the glamor world movie/show, eh? Despite all this, while watching the movie, I never thought "I want to watch this again and again!" It was okay, nothing spectacular. Warm and feel-good. I loved Michelle Trachtenburg when she was a kid in The Adventures of Pete and Pete and Harriet the Spy. This movie takes a more serious, teenage role and puts her back on TV screens. All and all, I actually feel this movie can be skipped. It seemed that this movie really wanted the skating to be a big focus, and making it unrealistic didn't help. Watch 'Bend it Like Beckham' instead. This movie is a too good to be true, why can't something like that happen to me type movie. I mean, this beautiful girl is BOTH is a spectacle in science and in skating.
