Steve D There isn't a lot to it but it is a blast to see Sonja Henie Skate, and the supporting cast is fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Henie's feature film debut has everything a new movie star could ask for: pleasant songs, a good supporting cast, and several ice skating sequences.
