Johnny (Vanilla Ice) is a rebellious rapper whose ice-cold heart thaws when he sets eyes on Kristin Minter (Kristin Minter). They couldn't be more different. She's a straight-A student whose biggest thrills come from horseback riding; he's a moody misfit who tears up the street with his yellow motorcycle. It won't be easy to win her heart -- especially with Kristin's athletic ex-boyfriend blocking the way. But, when her dad gets in trouble with gangsters, Johnny proves his worth.

Curiosity wears thin fast, and Cool as Ice ends up seeming tired as well as twisted. The man whom promoters call the rap-era Elvis has negative charisma. Go to Full Review Steve Murray Atlanta Journal-Constitution 08/13/2021

It's one of those movies that seem fabricated for a shopping mall: decorative, pretty, vacuous. Go to Full Review Terry Lawson Dayton Daily News 08/13/2021
1/4
It's all as passé and unoriginal as its star, whose brief blast of popularity at least proves Americans are wising up: After all, Pat Boone stuck around for years. Go to Full Review Jack Garner Rochester Democrat and Chronicle 08/13/2021
1.5/4
The plot of the Vanilla Ice movie, Cool As Ice is as simple and obvious as the rap star's wooden acting. Go to Full Review Tony Norman Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 08/13/2021
C-
Director David Kellogg tries hard to make a hackneyed script at least look good. One could plausibly chop the movie into pieces and produce several outstanding Vanilla Ice videos. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nate D @N8Dally Nov 16 Entertaining cheesy but good. See more Amy M @amydiane Aug 20 My rating/review is from my 1991 diary entry when I was 11. I’ve not watched it since, and do not know what adult me would think, but I suspect I would be less generous. I mean, 11 year old me did not think adults would enjoy this movie. “I gave it 3 stars out of five stars. I figured at the begining this was going to be a stupid movie with concited Vanilla Ice, but I was suprised. It was really pretty good. But I think It wouldn’t be a good one for adults.” See more Brad H @twstr988 Jun 2 I haven't seen this movie in over 30 years. I'm watching it now. 30 years ago as a teenager, this movie was great. Watching it now? Its the dumbest and worst movie I've ever seen 🤦‍♂️ See more Matthew P Jan 11 It’s as cold as ice! Right up there with Shawshank and pulp fiction 👍 two thumbs up my ass See more Dalton W 11/02/2024 Greatest movie of all time!!! It single-handedly saved my marriage and my children became grade A students. Not only that, but after I showed it to my grandma she was cured of her dementia and can walk without a cane!! I have decided to dedicate my remaining years telling others of this movie that they may experience true freedom and bliss. My life will never be the same. All hail vanilla ice, the bringer of true joy and eternal happiness!! See more Demetri P 10/26/2024 Boring and arduous in it's execution, you can't even make much enjoyment out of how hilariously bad it is. See more Read all reviews
