Movie Info

SKATING TO NEW YORK is a contemporary coming-of-age adventure, about five boys on a small-town Canadian high school hockey team, who live to skate. To do something great after losing a big game, they decide to skate across Lake Ontario to New York on the coldest day of the year. Think of the movies FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS meets STAND BY ME. This is a story about home and friendship, about leadership and facing up to danger, and about growing up and never giving up. (C) Official Site

In all, something of a squandered opportunity.

Top Critic
Any meaningful sense of adventure is chilled by an emphasis on domestic strife in this wildly uneven Canadian coming-of-age drama.

Cinemalogue
Beautifully shot teen wilderness adventure suffers from shallow characterizations and a highly troubling plot misstep.
