Synopsis:
From Walt Disney Pictures, the studio that brought you THE PRINCESS DIARIES, ICE PRINCESS is a hilarious and heartwarming coming-of-age story featuring popular teen star Michelle Trachtenberg (TV's BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, EUROTRIP). Though she longs to become a graceful champion figure skater, gawky Casey Carlyle (Trachtenberg) has always been just a brainy high school misfit. And with a strong-willed mother (Joan Cusack -- RAISING HELEN) pushing her toward a top university, it seems as if she'll never get the chance to be like the elite skating prodigies she sees at the rink. But when Casey uses her head and follows her heart, she'll find herself transformed beyond her wildest dreams! Also starring Kim Cattrall, it's an uplifting and laugh-packed story your whole family will flip for!

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Disney's Ice Princess
, starring Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Dawn on Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, appears to be aimed squarely at the niche audience referred to as female tweens. But, as Gene Seymour in Newsday observes, Teenage girls need solid, uplifting sports movies as much as boys do. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times observes that despite formulaic and clich?-ridden, scenes, somehow the film started to get to me, and I was surprised how entertained I was. Like Shall We Dance? or Saturday Night Fever, it escapes its genre. Claudia Puig in USA Today also praises the movie for being subtly inspiring, focusing not on mean girls but instead on girls getting along and helping one another accomplish their goals. But Kyle Smith of the New York Post is not impressed. This movie wasn't just made for 11-year-old girls; it seems to have been made by 11-year-old girls, he writes. And Evan Henerson in the Los Angeles Daily News dismisses the film as a safe, edgeless cinematic after-school special.

Too cheesy? The difference between cheesy and sentimental is undeserved sentiment, and well earned sentiment... and this movie had a well earned sentimental feeling about it.Some incredibly talented cast, with a well written script make this a well written movie for children of ALL ages.If you're not too old for a smile, you'll enjoy this movie.

i give it two stars because its nice to see a film that the whole family can watch these days, but if you are older than 12, don't bother. i fell asleep through half of it,during the half that I was awake, I laughed at the horrible acting.

I am not a preteen or a child, and I thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyed this movie.I watched it three times and I think is rocks.There are a few reasons I adore this movie, which is a huge shocker to me and everyone I know. I am allergic to chick flicks unless they involve mental illness, severe heartbreak or killing your peers. So, what is good about Ice Princess:1) The writing is good, all the characters have great back stories1) It was about girls who were smart and driven2) It reminded me of my experience in school, obsession, focus and sacrifice for competitive soccer3) Figure Skating is cinematic

This is a good movie for preteens and younger children. Joan Cusak does a good job as the mom. Not much in the way of content, but a nice movie for family night.
