Mathematical Correctness

The movie was cute. I am a huge fan of the first and this one made one major mistake. It is not mathematically possible. Doug and Kate were in the 1992 Olympics together. Even if they had their daughter that year, she would only be 14 years old. In the Cutting Edge 2, I would say she is at least 18 and they have her competing in the 2006 Olympics. It just doesn't make sense. They should have had her competing in the next Olympics in 2010 so her age would be practical. Too bad also, the original Doug and Kate could not reprise their role! That would have been cool. The first Cutting Edge was so good, I guess a sequel 10 years later should have been better. It could have been way more creative. I think I would have also liked more of a story between Doug and Kate and not just the daughter.
