Just the same old story of a teacher who goes on a leave of absence when he inherits an ice skating rink from his uncle.
The place is literally going broke and is run by Jerry Stiller.
The new owner finds a girl who skates there each evening. She made the Olympics, but a career ended in a tragic accident that took the life of her father. Sounds familiar? Of course, there is a younger girl to coach, the latter a product of a divorce, and the father couldn't care less about her.
While this is cliché, it works nicely due to good performances by the cast. Nice seeing Shelly Long again, this time in the role of the widowed mother of our coach.
Of course, the rink is in jeopardy of closing due to financial difficulties but of course that's resolved. What else is basically new here?
