Ice Princess 🎥 2005 Movie Info

Plot Summary

In the city of Millbrook, Connecticut, Casey Carlyle, a very smart and talented science student, pursues a scholarship to Harvard University. For the scholarship, she must present a personal summer project about physics. While watching a figure skating competition with her mathematically inclined best friend, Ann, Casey realizes that her favorite childhood hobby, ice skating, would make a perfect project. She decides to try to improve her own skating by applying physics and what she has discovered from watching other skaters. Following a recital, Casey becomes proficient and skips two levels to become a junior skater.

She helps fellow junior skaters Gennifer “Gen” Harwood, Tiffany Lai, and Nikki Fletcher improve their skating by using algorithms generated by her computer. Torn between her Harvard dream and her growing love of skating, Casey has difficulty juggling schoolwork, skating, and a part-time job as a concessions worker; during this time, she develops a relationship with Gen’s brother, Teddy. Her mother, Joan, attempts to prevent her from skating due to her declining academic performance. Meanwhile, tension arises between Joan and Gen’s mother, Tina, a disgraced former skater who has since become a coach. Tina, who manages the rink where Casey trains, has Gen on a strict training program.

During a competition where both Casey and Gen compete, Tina sees Casey may outrank Gen and sabotages Casey’s performance by buying her new skates. Unaware of the danger of unbroken-in skates, Casey’s resulting long program is riddled with poor jumps and several falls. Upon being informed of Tina’s intent behind her seemingly kind gesture by fellow skate competitor Zoey Bloch, Casey lashes out at her and mistakenly assumes her children were equally involved in the plot. She ranks fifth in the competition but only the top 4 qualify for the sectionals. As a result, Casey loses interest in skating and returns to her studies and goal of attending Harvard.
