Blades of Glory
"We forgot about the flowers."
It's so cheesy and bad that I love it. Especially the comment about triples being show off acrobatics.
Blades of Glory is the only good skating movie because it's the only one that doesn't pretend to be serious.
Everything else sucks because it pretends to be a serious skating movie while doing stupid junk like having a high school student teach herself a triple Lutz from video analysis in a month of skating.
I taught myself the triple lutz in 2 weeks. Just wear high heels and get real drunk. When you trip you get that deep outside edge and twirl three times. :gclap:
GO FIGURE! The breathtaking motion picture brought to you by none other than the Disney Channel!
Teenage sensation Katelin Kingsford knows only one thing: figure skating. Her goal? To be an ICE CHAMPION! One day, Katelin is discovered by none other than uber-famous Russian coach Natasha Ivanov. Natasha knows talent when she sees it and Katelin is it! But, there's only ONE PROBLEM! Russian coach superstar Natasha Petrov only coaches students at the ultra-exclusive, super-chic private boarding school that Katelin's parents JUST CAN'T AFFORD! But, mega-success Natasha Pavlov has a plan to make Katelin her student! All Katelin has to do is join the girl's struggling hockey team, get a free pass to boarding school somehow (shh, we can't go into the details!), juggle maintaining her ice princess persona while being harassed by her new stereotypically tomboy hockey teammates, become Natasha Sokolov's star pupil, meet Kristi Yamaguchi (who has a really random cameo in this), and make Spencer (the boarding school teen hunk ) fall in love with her as she aims for the National title!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*this is all sarcasm but yes, it's a real movie

Surprised no ones mentioned Rise.

I watched it like 6 times in the theater. I was 10. And usually the only person in the theater.
Did they used to throw real flowers back then or was it a movie device? I should know, but again I was 10 watching with my mother and not noticing what got thrown.
