I do remember this movie and we enjoyed it a lot. We haven't seen this one in years. A nice trip down memory lane. We'll have to watch it again for sure. Thanks Tracey.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun trip down memory lane. Nice to know this movie is still available for viewing. I DO remember it, especially since I love watching ice skating. Thanks, Tracey.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t see this movie way back when it was in theaters, but it sounds like one I would enjoy, especially since I’ve always adored figure skating.
ReplyDeleteOh I know my hubby and I will watch this one for sure. He and I love figure skating and watch it whenever it is on. So add a love story and you have me hooked for sure. Thanks Tracey for making me aware of this movie!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a really long time since I saw this movie, but what a wonderful reminder. I loved this movie when it came out and I also love that song. Time to look it up and watch again. Thanks for the reminder of a wonderful movie from the past that is worth watching again.
ReplyDeleteI've seen it, but long ago. I could honestly watch it again and it would feel like it was new again. I trained as a figure skater for over ten years in my youth. It was a big part of my life, and can be a bit picky about the reality on the competitive side of things - however, now, later in life, I can simply enjoy the skating. Understanding the sport is something I'm grateful for. Great family movie.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this movie! From your review I think it is one I would enjoy.I like watching figure skating and a "love story of persistence" sounds intriguing. Thank you for introducing me to a new movie! :)
