Trivia:
Lynn-Holly Johnson says she was repeatedly pressured to do a nude scene in this film, which she refused to do. She says this incident makes her laugh and say "if you only knew!" whenever someone tells her what a great family film this movie was.

Goofs:
Continuity: In the scene where Robby Benson's character arrives to help Lexie skate blind for the first time, her winter clothing and hair keep changing. We are led to believe it is all one "session/lesson" yet first her hair is hanging free with a red scarf around her neck, then her hair is all tucked up under a red hat, then the hat is a cream color.

I am not going to lie, this film is utterly depressing. The dreary atmosphere and the sad love story come together and make our tears flow. Simple story concerning a young girl who vows to become a professional ice skater, the boy she loves, and the tragedy that follows. Good performances from Skerritt and Dewhurst as usual, average from Benson and the rest of the cast. The finale is a real tearjerker, featuring the wonderful Melissa Manchester song. Though the film is somewhat predictable and extremely corny, it is still a good little film made with good intentions. 7/10
