Back To Index Ice Princess
 Barnes & Noble This crowd-pleasing Disney concoction manages to satisfy despite its unambitious recipe: the straight-A high school student with a secret passion for skating; her mother, who is set on her daughter going to Harvard; the pretty, popular mean girl poised for skating stardom; the cold-as-ice coach (the mean girls mom) who has no time for the "science geek." Ice Princess could have easily skated along as a typical sports fairy tale but, instead, it displays some surprising moves that would impress even the French judges. The appealing and likable Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Dawn) stars as Casey Carlyle, whose calling would appear to be physics. But she discovers her inner Michelle Kwan (who cameos as a TV commentator) when she embarks on a school project that applies physics formulas to skating. Her prowess does not escape the attention of coach Tina Harwood (Kim Cattrall), or her daughter and prized pupil, Gen (Hayden Panettiere). As the determined Casey refines her talent, she is forced to decide about "whats really important" to her: skating or Harvard. While Ice Princess may be predictable, right down to the Zamboni-driving hunk who emerges as a chaste romantic interest for the blossoming Casey, the savvy script does allow for refreshingly complicated characters. The capable Casey, for instance, is not a klutz in the Lizzie McGuire mold. Ice Princess is rated G, as in Gold. Donald Liebenson Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
