"On Edge" is an effective spoof of the skating industry, but not a straight-on mocking of the movie "Cuting Edge." Instead, it's shot as a documentary, mostly through they eyes of a humble Zamboni operator. Some funny gags such as the twins that do the same routine, dressed as Dalmation dogs, as well as skewering of groupies and skating moms. But, the viewpoint moves from being through the Zamboni operator back to third person, and the Zamboni man's emergence from blue collar to overdressed is unexplained. The fat jokes almost wear out their welcome, but are redeemed in the end. Some wonderful gags, good acting, and professional filming save the film. Well worth buying if you need some comic relief from the overbearing seriousness of skating.
Movie is interesting insight into hopefuls pursuing figure skating, is sweet in spots, and is always fun. Told from an unusual dual perspective that is brought off very well.

Especially the zamboni driver..who knew he had all the dirt on everybody! Schtroksky!!!!! Puschky!!!
I like the simple way that the director conducted the film. It seems like a fun documentary, but don't expect much more than this.
We enjoy all movies about skating. This was very funny, and the skating was great. Enjoyed the surprise ending.
