Ice Princess

Ice Princess has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. 944 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Michelle Trachtenberg leads a cast with real comic timing. Available now on Disney Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Ice Princess earns its spot. Ice Princess gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. With the help of her coach, her mom, and the boy who drives the Zamboni, nothing can stop Casey Carlyle from realizing her dream to be a champion figure skater. Michelle Trachtenberg and Joan Cusack lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2005. What keeps Ice Princess from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Ice Princess respects your intelligence. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Michelle Trachtenberg's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
