B- Sound: B Extras: D Telefilm: B
After
seriously injuring her knee Mattie, her sister and her mother move
back to their hometown, but Mattie (Michaela du Toit) just can't seem
to give up the ice or her skates, she works at an ice rink teaching
kids how to skate. She is inspired to not give up by the rink's
owner and her new friend/rival to skate once more, but there are
problems when their mothers find out they discover she is skating
again and there is some bad history between their mothers in Damian
Lee's Ice Girls (2016).
Mattie
was a pro figure skater, but after seriously injury her knee and her
mother not having a job, they were forced to move back to her
mother's hometown. They her mother finds not only a new job, but
gains the attention of both an ex-boyfriend and Mattie's new coach.
As Mattie goes under rehabilitation she becomes rivals with her new
best friend and their mothers were/are frenemies and dead set on
having them at each other's throats. But is Mattie really ready to
return to the world stage again? Natasha Henstridge also stars.
This
was a ice skating-filled series of events, all about girls who dream
to becoming beautiful dancing princesses on the ice filled with
drama, rivalry and friendship, the only thing they didn't do was turn
it into another romance. I guess guys on ice isn't as exciting as
girls on ice.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is a little soft, but the
lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is a bit better and there are no extras.
