Liebe und Eis 2 (Video 2006)

Liebe und Eis 2: Directed by Sean McNamara. With Christy Carlson Romano, Ross Thomas, Scott Thompson Baker, Kayla Carlson. Two ice skaters (Christy Carlson Romano, Ross Thomas) develop a love-hate relationship while dreaming of Olympic glory.

“This movie tries too hard to capitalize on the original, yet it seems as though the producer/directors didnu0026#39;t really see it. The interplay between the leading characters seems contrived, not at all as thoroughly charged and enjoyably funny as that from Doug and Kate in the first movie. Where there are clear parallels between the two, they come off flat. Where it really suggests to me that the producers didnu0026#39;t even study the magic of the first movie, is the casting of the new Kate and Doug. Who saw any of Moira Kellyu0026#39;s charm and fire in Stepfanie Krameru0026#39;s character. In a word, she was wimpish. And does anyone see Scott Thompson Baker getting on the ice with DB Sweeney. And together they were just blah. Sequels always pale in comparison to the original, but this film could have been cute with a better script, and the two new characters contrasted with more colorful versions of Kate and Doug. A big disappointment!!”
