Ice Princess

The beautiful yet very precocious looking (she's 19) Michelle Trachtenberg makes her starring debut in Disney's Ice Princess, about a young girl very into math (geek!) who gets into ice skating for a school project and ends up finding her true calling.

Michelle is delightful as Casey, who has almost all her life planned (with the help of her mom Joan, played by Joan Cusack), so she only needs to make a final school project so she can get into Harvard. She likes to skate, so she gets the idea to film her school friends, 3 aspiring professional ice skaters, and create a computer program that transforms the skating movements into aerodynamic equations. Math stuff.
Soon, she starts liking it, and with the help of the program she gets really good at it, to the point where she finds herself competing with her 3 friends, in part so she can implement the program into herself.
Her mother knows nothing about this and is not happy when she finds out, also not happy is her coach Tina Harwood (Kim Cattrall), a former professional skater that was suspended for causing an injury to a competitor. Her daughter Gen (Hayden Panettiere) is one of the skaters so she doesn't want Casey to win and be better than her.
Gen doesn't have a problem though and supports Casey, same for the other 2 girls, a Chinese girl name Tiffany (the actress' name is nowhere to be found) who has a great artistic skating style, and the small sized Nikki (Kirsten Olson), nicknamed "The Jumping Shrimp".

The story is predictable even from the trailers, Joan Cusack is a waste (though she shouldn't even be taking this 'mother roles'), and there are more than necessary lines that are so cliche you'll have your eyes rolling, but the good attitude and charm of Michelle Trachtenberg and her supporting girls (specially Kirsten Olson) make for an entertaining movie that parents wont mind, kids will enjoy, and little ice skating girls will love and worship.
