Ice Princess

If anyone has any doubts that Disney can still turn out some serious crap then they should definitely check out this film. This is a horribly written movie about a bunch of rotten, mean people. Even the "heroine" of this movie is rude, stupid, annoying and really rotten to people. When things go bad for her it is very difficult to care because she just isn't a nice person. When an older person who drives a Zamboni knows what inertia is the heroine asks how he could possibly knows that because she thinks that blue collar workers are stupid, apparently.

Writters at Disney attempting to display "physics students" as people who state the incredibly obvious in bizarre terms. Like... sliding down a rope that leads to a windows will result in that person going out a window. But the writters of the film act as if everyone watching the movie didn't already know that and have the heroine state this fact as an equation and have every character in the movie act as if it revealed information that they could not have known otherwise.

To make matters worse, Disney goes out on a limb to insult figure skaters everywhere. I feel offended for all of those who work so hard at a very difficult sport just to have Disney make a movie where they act as if a high school idiot watching a slow motion video and telling skaters that pushing harder makes them go higher or that tucking tighter will make them spin faster is going to fundamentally change the sport. Apparently Disney thinks that skaters are stupid. They definitely think that their audience is.

This is not a good movie. This is an awful movie. This is a movie that makes me sorry for having wasted away two hours of my life. This is a movie that makes me consider avoiding movies just because Disney put their stamp on it. Disney should be embarrassed to have turned this out of their studios even if it had been destined for television instead of the big screen.
