A teenager is torn between her desire to please her mother and following her own ambitions in this family-friendly
comedy drama.
Casey Carlyle (
Michelle Trachtenberg) is a high-school student who has a keen mind for math and looks to be on the fast track to Harvard, which is just the way her mother (
Joan Cusack) wants it. However,
Casey also has a dream of becoming a competitive ice skater, which is not a popular notion with either
Casey's mom or her school's clique of aspiring skaters, led by the egocentric
Gen (
Hayden Panettiere). However, one day at the rink
Casey wins the attention of
Tina (
Kim Cattrall), a former skating champion who now trains her daughter and is trying to live down an incident that grounded her career on the ice.
Tina thinks
Casey has what it takes to be a champ, but neither
Gen nor
Casey's mother are happy with this news, leaving
Casey and
Tina to go it alone, though
Casey soon wins the emotional support of
Teddy (
Trevor Blumas),
Gen's handsome older brother.
Ice Princess also features champion skater
Michelle Kwan in a small role as herself, doing television commentary at a skating event.
