Awesome Movie

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I just cant tell you how good this movie is! This movie was so inspirational and awesome! She goes out there and skates like she REALLY MEANS IT! Not only to prove to herself, but to her entire community on how bad she really wants it! I don't think I've cried this hard since the last time my Woodchuck ran out! Yeah I'm a guy, but who cares! I am proud to say I love this movie and will defend it to the day I die! Definitely my favorite movie of all time! This is a must for the ladies, and a must for the guys that swing the same way as me as well! ;) ENJOY!!! ANYONE ELSE THAT LOVES THIS MOVIE AS MUCH AS ME PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE! My name is John Witt and you can email me at [email protected] Thanks and God bless!

Gotta say, I love this movie, the only U certificate film I own on DVD. Originally watched it because I was the world's biggest Buffy fan and adored Michelle Tractenberg but it's so much more than that. A sensitive tale of growing up and defying your parent's expectations whilst still loving them (both Michelle's and Hayden Pantierre's) it grows on you every time you watch it. What wins me over to it is the maturity of the story, there is no baddie, not even Zoe Bloch or Kim Cattrall's character, everyone's motivations and actions are totally understandable and at the end you don't have an unrealistic fairytale finale but a hopeful yet pragmatic realisation of Casey's future and the sacrifices the life of a professional figure-skater will entail. Some good plotting, a story well told and some decent dialogue and acting all round. This essentially marks the end of Michelle's 'adorable moppet' Harriet the Spy/Inspector Gadget/Dawn Summers phase and after this we have her playing more adult characters like pop princess Celeste on 'Six Feet Under' and uber-bitch Georgina on 'Gossip Girl'. In honesty she's a little too old for the part, both she and a pre-Heroes Hayden are already looking more 'Playmate of the Year' than teenage figure skaters in this film. From now on both actresses deliberately choose more mature, adult roles but this is a nice send-off for their teenage characters phase. Best line, Tiffany, concerning the advantages of not being a professional figure skater; "And you can eat bread, buckets and buckets and of bread!"So if you want a well acted, not too twee Disney film told with humour, sensitivity, realism and charm this is the film for you. After an arduous and trying day at work dealing with the strife and compromises of the adult world just put this on and I guarantee you'll feel better. And my six year old niece loves just as much as I do at 38 years old. A timeless classic whose reputation will only grow with repeated Christmas showings and no mistake.

I never thought I would love a film about ice-skating, and Ice Princess does the sport justice. It is beautifully shot, beautifully acted, but with one flaw, it gets a tad sentimental.A perfectly cast Michelle Trachtenburg is the girl with a dream of becoming an ice-skater, but her strong-willed mother(a moving performance from Joan Cusack) has other ideas. Other notable actors are Kim Catrell and Haydn Pannettiere, who develop a pleasing shine to the film.The script is sharp, that does occasionally get too sentimental, but the tight direction and the spirited performances from all involved, make this a sweet and enjoyable movie, that is an 8.5/10 from me.

So Casey Carlyle thinks she knows a lot of physics, eh? Well baby... wake up and smell the hydrogen sulphide of newton's ass...because his belly just jerked when she made a statement that grossly violated the fundamental law of rotational physics. Recollect the time she video documented herself in the skating rink for the first time, hmmmmm... She said "When I tuck my arms in, the Moment of Inertia increases and I am able to spin faster". Hello!!! any physics student in the house? Tucking the arms in actually decreases the moment of inertia by virtue of which the angular speed increases thereby maintaining the angular momentum. What a poser, a disgrace to all physics lovers.Who knows how many such blunders she would have made. She is just lucky that all are not geeks.
