This movie came out when I was about 14 years old and I had a HUGE celebrity crush on Erik von Detten after seeing him in Leave it to Beaver! Now watching it 24 (yikes!) years later, I don't have the rose colored glasses on, but I have to say that it still holds up pretty well! I appreciate that they didn't try to cram in an unnecessary love story and that the story stayed focused on family, friendship, and skating (with some competition/bullying conflict thrown in). While not necessarily A+ acting, most of the characters were at least portrayed well by the actors. It is also family friendly and covers some important life lessons without getting into any heavy topics. My 6/10 rating to me means "it was good but not great and I would watch it again". 6-7 ratings are my most frequent ratings. I save 8 and up for my absolute favorites! Definitely recommend especially for kids/teens.
