Parents need to know that although this movie is tamer than the two Cutting Edge titles that came before it, there's some kissing and talk about sexual activity. In one scene, a woman's panties are held up as evidence that a main character was sleeping with someone; another character confesses that she slept with Celeste's fiancé. Zack and his new partner, Alex, are told not to sleep together and don't. There's not much language or drinking, and kids who watch may take away a positive message about working hard for your dreams.

Families can talk about whether this movie follows a "formula" for sports and/or romantic movies. What elements of the story have you seen before? What's new/fresh? What does this movie have in common with the two that came before it? Families can also discuss how the skating scenes were filmed. Do you think stunt doubles were used? How do you think the death-defying move at the end was shot so that it looked like all one move?
