Storyline

After suffering the loss of his best friend Charlie on Christmas Eve, sixteen year old Bobby Whiteside ventures out onto the lake where they played countless games of winter hockey. Upon shoveling the ice surface he makes a shocking discovery --- a magic, perfectly groomed hockey rink that appears only at night and only in his presence. When a local construction company purchases the land for development, Bobby must join forces with his high school crush, rally the town, and play one last game on the night pond --- with an old friend.

Short Review

First hook is the camaraderie of 2 friends; then the overhanging tragic death; and finally some pretty scenery. But it's all downhill from there.The plotlines are all over the place with poor editing and continuity issues. The dialogue is stilted with what is possibly the worst Oh-Please-Save-Our-Quaint-Town speech ever written. In fact, the script should be an example of how NOT to write in a Writing 101 class.The actors are adequate even if Casting hired an aging, paunchy actor to play the teen hero's brother who STILL LIVES AT HOME and looks old enough to play a parent.As another reviewer wrote, we kept wondering why we continued watching. Poor, very poor, "Field of Dreams" wannabe.
