Finding Her Edge

Matt Roush says...

Well-timed as a curtain-raiser for next month’s Winter Olympics in Italy, this tepid YA romance set in the world of competitive ice skating is the opposite of edgy. (In other words, don’t expect this to be another Heated Rivalry fog-up-your-glasses sensation.) Madelyn Keys stars as 17-year-old Adriana Russo, the most responsible member of a skating family dynasty whose parents once won Olympic gold. Now helping keep her widowed dad’s struggling training rink afloat, Adriana rethinks hanging up her skates when she’s invited to partner with hotshot “bad boy of figure skating” Brayden (Cale Ambrozic). While they pretend to be a couple off the ice in hopes of earning a lucrative sponsorship, Adiana is drawn to her former skating partner, Freddie (Olly Atkins), who’s also carrying a torch. Awkward!
