The tagline for Cool as Ice reads: "When a girl has a heart of stone, there's one way to melt it."
So, how? "Just add ice." Um, okay...how exactly does that work? Anyway, the movie starts off well with good dance moves and
lyrics. Then, the story rolls along that's akin to The Wild One. Some have pointed
out to Rebel Without a Cause,
but it's technically incorrect. My initial expectations were kept low, but the film turns out to be enjoyable. Sure, some scenes are
cheesy.
One of the most memorable figures in 90's music, Robert (Not Rip) Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, makes an impressive
screen debut. Opposite him is Kristin Minter who holds her ground as she puts up with the silliness.
All in all, Cool as Ice isn't terrible as people have made it out to be.

Cool as Ice makes for a fair viewing.
All in all, Cool as Ice is harmless.
