Season's movie outlook offers sprinkling of bright spots
In the happy medium of spring weather, the movie theater is an exercise in
extremes.
The flicks filling the pre-blockbuster summer season are either sunshine and
light ("The Pacifier," "Ice Princess," "Madagascar") or doom and gloom ("The
Jacket," "The Ring 2," "Sin City"). Still, a lighthearted romantic comedy
("A Lot Like Love") or two slips through the cracks, as does a comically
neurotic Woody Allen movie ("Melinda and Melinda") and even the dark end of a
saga ("Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith").
Once the long winter ends, be prepared for a roller coaster ride of a spring at
the movie theater.
Ice Princess
Starring: Michelle Trachtenberg,
Kim Cattrall, Joan Cusack
Director: Tim Fywell
Summary: A high school bookworm (Trachtenberg) is torn between fulfilling her
mother's (Cusack) dreams of Harvard and her own dreams of becoming an ice
princess and competing against the best. Along the way, she finds love with the
driver of the Zamboni.
Early buzz: This one has "teen hit" written all over it, but that is what Disney
does best. Maybe "Ice Princess" will tap the under-served romantic comedy-on-ice
market that hasn't seen action since 1992's "The Cutting Edge."
