Storyline

Rich, handsome, courteous Seattle golden boy Zack Conroy's figure skating partner Celeste Mercier is disabled for months in a training accident. Like their coach Bryan Hemmings, she insists he takes a temporary partner to go on to the national championship, his ticket to the world championship in Paris. Zach and his temper discard all candidates from the circuit, but after an alteration with an ice hockey amateur team he shares to ice with to train, he sets his mind on their only girl, taco joint daughter-waitress Alejandra 'Alex' Delgado. She's unacceptable to Hemmings, who dumps Zach and starts an affair with Celeste, whom he finds another partner. Zach and Alex's worlds keep clashing, but determination, her brother and another coach see them trough.

Goofs

Alejandra would have not have been able to compete in senior level pairs. To compete senior level pairs, both skaters have to pass tests for each level. For pairs skaters, they have to pass all levels of moves in the field and pairs free skate tests. So even if she was qualified it would be unlikely she could have passed all 20 tests in a matter of months.

What a Waste of good talent

Man, this movie should've been called "Wasted Talent" because that's what it is, I'm not gonna hold back because Christy Romano is a Talented Actress that has yet to bust loose because of a certain "Transformers" actor & I DON'T MEAN OPTIMUS PRIME OR MEGATRON!. This is a hack & slash job of a Bad movie. Christy can do ANYTHING in the world & I'd still love her work, but this is by & large the biggest mess of a movie. It just took the worst of the first two films & pasted it together. Christy had nothing to do & what's worst I had more fun watching cheese age. I'd rather be paid money to watch Ben Affleck & J.Lo in Gigli. With only one exception that Christy Romano is awesome talent this movie shouldn't have been made.
