Awful kids film. The music is the only thing that gives you any emotion in this film since the acting and narrative is dull.

A chick flick that bored the crap out of me. This is not worth anyone time, even with a few good moments in the film.

Such a great movie about following your heart & your dreams. Michelle Trachtenberg was awesome as was the rest of the cast.

A cute little film that needed a little momentum. Kattrall was stellar, as was Trachtenberg.

There are far too many cringe-inducing clichés and gaping plot holes. Full Review
The movie does have a strong sense of the special charisma and beauty of these young demons of grace who ride the thin line between dance and sport with unerring precision. Full Review
Trachtenberg is thoroughly believable, an unspoiled charmer. Her rise from clumsy girl to someone brimming with confidence and the author of one heckuva physics project, she's a pretty cool princess t... Full Review
Watching this week's world figure skating championships in Moscow, one wonders why the scriptwriters went to such artificial lengths. There's drama enough in the sport as it is. Full Review
A savvier movie (and script) might have been able to mix some grays into its black and white palette. Full Review
A cut above most pictures of its type. Full Review
It doesn't score high in degree of difficulty. But it is technically flawless, and artistically it sticks the landing. Full Review
Take the teen makeover template, add ice, and you've got the latest piece of pandering entertainment from Walt Disney Pictures. Full Review
If you're wondering which way the movie is going, note that it isn't called Quadratic Equation Princess.
