KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

jadelapointe Super fun to watch Love this snowboarding love story Very similar has geek charming our starstruck

mischievouslyradiant I've only seen a few movies that is centered around a sport, and I really love Cloud 9. Who cares if it's cliché or similar to those other movies? It's a fresh, new take on a similar idea...for me, I don't even notice it, unless I'm thinking about it rather than enjoying it and letting the movie entertain me. What is wrong with you, people? You should just steer away from entertainment as a whole, if you're just going to observe all the similarities and details and criticize it!Anyway, this is one of the best sports movie I've ever seen. I grew up with The Cutting Edge (1992), I used to watch Go Figure (a Disney movie, like Cloud 9), and my Dad introduced me to Ice Castles (the first movie and its recent remake) a few years ago. All centered around figure skating, as that's the sport I grew up with. This is the only snowboarding movie I've ever seen. I think Disney should do more movies like this :) They should do a sequel to this, really.This is just me, but I did get offended with Will at first. Appearances are important to girls, very important for some. Nothing wrong with wanting to look good, and I don't think Kayla was overboard with it. Her attitude just seemed to make it appear as if she was going overboard with it, since she grew up spoiled.I love it when they become friendly, and Kayla's so sweet when she becomes friends with the dog. The snowboarding scenes were awesome, although some people who do snowboard might get offended at the average-ness of it.I give this a 10/10 rating! It kept me viewing throughout, and I can't believe I didn't see it sooner.

bkoganbing Dove Cameron of Liv&Maddie and Luke Benward recently an interest of Bridgit Mendler on Good Luck Charlie team up for this latest Disney feature film Cloud 9. No this is not about literal heavenly heights, but it might as well be for it is an especially grueling challenge for snowboarders. In fact we see that one can't even walk up to it, one has to be airlifted before one makes the dangerous downward descent.The story casts Cameron as the daughter of the owner of a ski resort and that gives her access to a team sponsored by winter sports business owner whose son Mike Manning is the snowboarding current star. But when the resort drops the team, Manning drops Cameron and the team does as well. Seems she's not as good as she thinks she is, but was there for politics.Two blows to her ego really leave her down in the dumps. But fortunately there's Benward who was an up and coming snowboarder, but who wipes out on national television and that's left him lacking a bit of confidence.This was a good one from the Magic Kingdom and it was a nice story seeing how these two wounded young people help each other out with their sport and their lives. I also commend Amy Farrington playing Benward's mother who runs a local kennel. Who'd have thought that dogs would be therapeutic?Some nice scenes of snowboarding also highlight this Disney Channel film. Definitely one of their better products.

Anth Li Honestly, I liked this movie a lot. I mean, yeah, it was really predictable and I expected everything that I saw (Nick steering Kayla into the sign), but I have to admit, the movie was really good. When I first saw the trailer during the Disney commercials, I already wanted to watch this movie, so I was excited when it came out yesterday. Yeah, this is a typical story with the rich girl wanting to change to show everyone she's not just "daddy's girl." However, this movie was enjoyable. The one thing I absolutely cannot stand about this movie was the ending. I was on the edge during the Fire and Ice competition, even though I already knew that Kayla would do Cloud 9 and the Hot Doggers would win. Still, I was excited and ignored the fact that I already knew what would happen. So why did I not enjoy this movie? It's because the ending was absolutely horrible. Okay, fine. It was ABSOLUTELY horrible, but I really dislike it. I don't like it so much that I only gave this movie 8 stars. Why did I hate the ending? It sucked. The rest of the movie was good, except for the ending. They literally ended this movie RIGHT AFTER Kayla did Cloud 9 and was announced to be the winner. Such a crappy ending. If there will be a sequel to this movie, the ending of this movie would be alright, since there's a lot they could put in the sequel, like about how Sebastian reacts to everything. But if this movie will end just like that, then I hate it. The ending really ruined this movie for me. I was literally SCREAMING at the TV when I realized the movie ended after Kayla won.
