The movie was an okay watch. The music was the most distracting part. A constant orchestra plays throughout for dramatic effect.
There were a few odd parts, but overall it was fine.

Okay movie. Constant loud dramatic music from beginning to end.
Bland but cute
Because I'm a sucker for all things ice skating, I ended up watching this.
The whole beginning part annoyed me, especially the part with Amy whining and running away from this really cute guy - older for her, but cute. Then she gave him attitude for trying to get her back into ice skating - what a cad!!! It was trite and cute, nothing new to see here.
Anyway, it's a nice little story for a Saturday morning.
The ice skating was OK, but why was Amy trying to impress the guy with a single? That doesn't make sense. And the couples scene on ice was so predictable.
Comfortable
If there are any moments where somebody does something stupid in this film it is natural and flows out of the action. I say that because another film I rated as the most rotten film I have viewed in my life raised stupidity to the maximum.
I have watched this movie from Hallmark on the Hallmark Movie channel about five times now. Have you ever had that feeling that with hundreds of channels that there is nothing worth watching? Well, this movie is worth watching. It was not made to win any Academy awards or even be nominated for one. It is like a comfortable old shoe you should probably have got rid of but keep wearing because it is comfortable. It is similar to Singing in the Rain or Easter Parade for me. I have enough misery in my life and don't need any more added with movies like On the Waterfront. I don't care that On the Waterfront won 8 Oscars. I prefer Ice Dreams. If you are feeling down then watch this movie. It will make you feel a little bit better.
