Ralph R Ice Princess is a fun, lighthearted movie with a simple but engaging plot. It follows a classic underdog story, making it easy to root for the main character. While the storyline isn’t groundbreaking, it works well for a family-friendly film, keeping things straightforward without unnecessary drama. The directing is solid, balancing the emotional moments with the sports aspects, and the pacing keeps things moving without dragging. The cinematography captures the elegance of figure skating, making the performances visually appealing, even if some scenes feel a bit predictable. Michelle Trachtenberg delivers a strong performance, carrying the movie with ease. She makes the character relatable, and her acting adds depth to the story. The supporting cast does a good job as well, though no one really steals the spotlight from her. The script is decent, with natural dialogue that fits the tone of the film. The music and sound design complement the skating sequences, adding energy where needed. Overall, it is an enjoyable and well-put-together movie that makes for a great watch, especially for a casual family night. Michelle Trachtenberg's presence, both on and off screen, was exceptional. She will be deeply missed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 What a wonderful inspiring movie about following your dreams. Trachtenberg gives a wonderful performance. Tim Treakle Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Joanna T Such a cute movie about mother-daughter relationships. Casey is a high school girl who is studious and who is aiming to get into a top university to study physics. Her physics project leads her to become interested in ice skating. She begins by observing ice skating for her project, but then takes a class, and then finds that she loves it. She participates in a class recital, then in a competition because she was able to skip a few levels. But the very woman who advanced her level also bought her new skates at the competition, even though every skater knows that you can't compete in new skates since it takes a while to break them in. The woman was worried that Casey would beat her own daughter. The daughter is mad that her mom did this and drops out of the competition, since she wanted to have more of a life and her mom was making her skate too much. She wanted to go to school, study, hang out with her boyfriend. Casey then gets bumped up and gets to compete, since the daughter dropped out. Casey informs Harvard during her interview with them that she doesn't want to go there anymore. She competes and doesn't get first place, but does pretty well. Her mom ends up going to her competition and supports her when she sees how beautiful, graceful and strong Casey is. This sort of reminded me of aerial apparatuses! Since physics rules also apply to that and it also makes me feel beautiful, graceful and strong. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Joel H When my daughter picked Ice Princess as the movie she wanted to watch with the family, I wasn’t overly enthused. However, I ended up enjoying it. It’s a cheesy Disney movie and that’s okay. Michelle Trachtenberg is a likeable protagonist, and both Kim Cattrall & Joan Cusack are acting as if this is a regular dramatic role instead of a teen flick. There also aren’t as many one-dimensional characters as I expected. I missed a part in the middle because I had to drop another kid off at a football game, but I ended up going back and watching that part on my own, which I think proves I liked Ice Princess. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Sarah M Very cute movie for all the figure skating fans! 5 stars! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Dale R A science geek blooms as a figure skater in this coming of age story. This movie is targeting the young teenage girl demographic, that I am not a part of. There is some solid acting in this movie from Joan Cusack, Kim Cattrall and Hayden Panettiere. The lead played by Michelle Trachtenberg has a few quality moments as well. There were some surprising character moments in this movie as the plot took them in different directions then what I was expecting. The writing was fine until about the third act when all the characters needed drama and became really mean spirited. There was some cinematography that did not hide the stunt doubles very well. The lead character’s best friend disappeared for the middle half of the movie and I felt that was a loss of possible character development. I did enjoy watching this film and would recommend it, but the problems mentioned above most likely means it will not be for everyone.
