If you're a skating fan (which I'm not) then I suspect that you, too, would have been disappointed by how little actual skating was in this movie. If you're not, then you're going to be disappointed, period. Every cliche that the sugar mill has ever turned out is in this movie; for example, like the girl crossing herself in front of the out-of-focus picture of Lenin in the background. Whatever else is on the other channels at the time is certainly going to be better than this monumentally insipid "feel good" garbage.
