bill-461 Review of Ice Princess

Ice Princess (2005)

For better story and acting--try Ice "Castles". This one's weak.

[3/10 · 4 February 2006]

It has a lot of Disney warmth and good performances (albeit, bad writing,) from Joan and Kim. The younger performers are all of the Gilmore Girls variety, unable to hold a shot or a scene for more than a couple of seconds. Holly Lynn Johnson, in Ice Castles, is about twenty times more interesting than any of the people in this film and Ice Castles captures the beauty of the sport much better than this. I do think that this film contained some wonderful messages about passion and forgiveness, but the writing and the acting seemed to be struggling to rise above Lifetime movie status. So, not bad for Jr. High School girl entertainment, but even then, you could do better with Ice Castles.
