Plot Summary:
A high-school bookworm transforms into a swan in
Walt Disney Pictures' "Ice Princess." Brainy Casey Carlyle (Michelle
Trachtenberg) has never quite fit in. Caught between her fantasy of becoming a
championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother (Joan Cusack), who has
her on the fast track to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany
and Gen (Hayden Panettiere) - three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly
competing on the US Figure Skating circuit (and have attitudes to match). But
when Casey gets the chance to train with Gen and her coach, a disgraced former
skating champion who also happens to be Gen's mother (Kim Cattrall), she must
dash her own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the
support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver (Trevor Blumas), Casey
takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the
best to make it into the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."
5 Second Review
Overall the movie is
pleasant enough and could be a nice night out for a family with a young
daughter,
but the best thing you can do is give your daughter the 8.00 to go see the movie
while you watch something different altogether. When it comes on cable,
make sure your daughters room has cable so you don't have to watch it over and
over.
We would love to know what you think, sound off on the
movie message boards and let us know how you liked the movie!
