In Disney’s latest fl ick, “Ice Princess,” Casey Carlyle (Mi- chelle Trachtenberg) and Tina Harwood (Cattrall) work as a skater-coach duo training for an ice skating championship. In the fi lm, Cattrall’s portrayal of a coach is anything but trophy-wor- thy. Trachtenberg, however, defi - nitely earns the gold for playing a math and science smarty who un- dertakes ice skating for a scholar- ship project. Trachtenberg, who also showed up on the big-screen in “Eurotrip” and worked on the television se- ries “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” proves in the fi lm that she can hold her own as a movie’s main face. True, Trachtenberg is no strang- er to the camera; she did her fi rst movie, “Harriet the Spy,” in 1996. But today, at 19, Trachtenberg steals the screen with her teen beauty and loveable character. Now if only “Ice Princess” was as good as its star. The movie is not interesting enough to entice Cal State Fullerton students. Dis- appointingly, the fi lm doesn’t stray past the expected, and the one as- pect that would draw college stu- dents in – Kim Cattrall – fails to impress. Only in one entertaining scene, when Cattrall’s character argues with Casey’s mom (Joan Cusack), does the audience get to see what Cattrall portrays best: bitchiness with a side of sass.
