Load of rubbish!!

just watch it!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I just added this movie to my DVD collection maybe like a month ago or so and I have watched it at least a dozen times, most likely more than that though! I am not embarrassed to admit that I am a guy and I absolutely love this movie! I do not care at all if this movie is considered to be a chick flick or not. Besides, I love those types of movies. I do agree that there are some corny/cheesy moments and dialogue, but I do not let those ruin the movie for me. They're all very minor and to me they don't affect it at all. The story is brilliantly written, even though the ending is very predictable (for the most part). The acting is pretty solid as well, especially from Joan Cusack, Kim Cattrall, and of course the lovely and very talented Michelle Trachtenberg! The music is just...excellent! I cannot say that enough. I love the music in the movie so much because it just works and fits in with every scene where there is some. I believe that the movie carries a good message as well. It's just saying that YOU decide what you want to do with your life and it encourages you to follow your dreams, no matter what other people say. Even if it's your parents, let them see you for who you are and what you want to do, not what they want you to do. If you have not seen this movie yet, I strongly suggest that you go out and buy yourself a copy of it today! It is a great family movie that everyone will enjoy, especially since there are absolutely no bad parts in it anywhere. Watch this movie for yourself and you will totally understand why this is a must-own for any DVD collection! And just remember, "One more thing: skate with your heart."

Ice Princess is a film in the tradition of The Cutting Edge franchise as it tells the story of a teen-ager who gives up a promising academic career to pursue a new found dream into becoming a champion figure skater.It stars Michelle Trachtenberg in the title role together with Joan Cusack, Kim Cattrall and Hayden Panettiere.The screenplay was written by Meg Cabot,the author of The Princess Diaries, and Hadley Davis; and directed by Tim Fywell.Seventeen-year-old Casey Carlyle is a very smart and talented science student who plans to go to college on a scholarship at Harvard University. While working on a personal summer project about her favorite subject Physics,she gets to observe a figure skating competition with her friend Ann.Later,she realizes that figure skating has become her new found passion and it by applying the principles of Physics,she manages to improve herself in the sport faster than expected.She later becomes proficient and manages to become a champion and have a great future in it.While the use of the principles of Physics which made Casey's know- how of figure skating faster than expected somewhat ridiculous,young female teen-agers and those who love figure skating will find it enjoyable and entertaining.Also,the conflicts may have been treated somewhat light.But nevertheless,Casey gave it some serious thoughts and dealt with them like a responsible and mature teen-ager.This should give a good lesson to young viewers who are watching this film.Finally,Disney fans will not be disappointed for these are the type of films that they make.

Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg) is a gifted science nerd. Her teacher asks her to do a science project to get a scholarship. Her serious mother Joan (Joan Cusack) is set for her to go to Harvard. Meanwhile popular girl Gen Harwood (Hayden Panettiere) is training to be a world class figure skater under her demanding mother/coach Tina (Kim Cattrall). When Casey starts to learn figure skating, she turns out to be a natural.It's a little bit unbelievable that the girl becomes a great skater so quickly. At least Trachtenberg can highlight her skating and comedic abilities in this movie. However if you dig a little deeper into this standard Disney fare, there is a good movie about mother-daughter relationships. That's the heart of the movie, and what separates from the other cheesy teen movies. The adult characters are allowed to be real. The two girls are more than two-dimensional high school stereotypes.

for me,this movie was just bland.not really boring,but not really interesting either.it just plods along to the end.i also thought most of the characters were not interesting.in fact,some of them were unlikable.there are some good actors in this movie,but they seem to sleep walk through it for the most part.once in awhile there is a bot of overacting,at least in my mind.a little levity(humour)would have made the movie better.it's just takers the subject matter too seriously,in my mind.basically,i was disappointed in this movie.i had higher expectations.not the worst movie movie ever made,just sort of middle of the road for the genre.my vote for Ice Princess is a 5/10
