Cool as Ice Reviews

This was High School Musical before High School Musical, and for those who know me, that;s definatley NOT a good thing. The plot was stupid, the acting was horrible and the script could have been made by a monkey (Or an HSM fan, but I honestly believe you could get better results from a monkey)

Let's start out with the acting. It is a whole new dimension of bad. There wasn;t a single actor who did a good job, but out of everyone, I think Vanilla Ice was the worst actor. You know, when you think about it, Vanilla Ice is a pretty pathetic human being. He can;t sing, he can;t dance and he cannot CAN NOT act. I don;t think I've ever seen such horrible overracting by a main character since Spy Kids 3. He looks like 2Pac's Italian gangstah homeboy.

The plot was REALLY stupid and cliche. Basically, it's 1 hr. 32 minutes. So here's the plot. Basically, Vanilla Ice goes to the suburbs and runs into this preppy girl named Kathy, but the parents don;t want them to be together because they're from different worlds. WOAH, I WONDER WHERE I HEARD THAT PLOT IDEA. OUT OF ALL THE MOVIES I'VE SEEN, I CAN;T THINK OF A SINGLE ONE!!

As for the script, I'll make it brief. You know your in big trouble when your most memorable line is "Don't be a zero, get with the hero" My God, sounds like something I would hear from Suite Life.

However, the worst part of the movie might be the rapping. This rapping, as well as the dancing, is so lame, it makes Drake and Lil Wayne look good. Oh yeah, I went there. Napolean Dynamite might as well be writing the lyrics.

Bottom line, one of the worst movies of the 90's. If you value your brain cells, and your reputation, stay away from this movie like cancer.

Oh man was this bad, but it was bad in that 90's way. The acting is the worst I've seen in a long time. Just awful. I'm not going to lie, it brought back my long standing 1st grade crush on Vanilla Ice.

"Cool As Ice" was a cheaply made, train-wreck of a movie created for the sole purpose of capitalizing on rapper Vanilla Ice's fleeting fame. Very few careers survived in Hollywood after being involved with this movie, which was directed by a man (David Kellogg) whose previous films included "Playboy: Wet & Wild" and "Playboy Playmates of the year: the 80s" and "Playboy: Playmates at Play" (actually, he seemed to have worked exclusively for Playboy before making "Cool as Ice "). I was never a fan of the career that belonged to Rob Van Winkle, I hated him when he first came out and I still hate him to this day, I watched this film only in the hopes that it would be the worst film I'd ever seen and I could claim it as such, but much to my disappointment, it's not the worst movie I've ever seen. It's only mildly horrible. It's an almost literal re-working of an old Elvis Presley film. You know the kind, Elvis comes into town on his motorcycle, townsfolk don't like his rebel attitude, (except for the nice girl who's strangely attracted to him), and eventually, Elvis/Vanilla is going to have to bust out some fake karate moves on the town's bigoted ruffians. This seems to have the same production values as those "3 Ninjas" movies from the 90s, and everything is painted that ugly "newjack swing" color that was so awful back in the day (remember how the fly girls dressed on "In Living Color"?). The biggest star in it seems to be Michael Gross, the dad from the tv show "Family Ties". He's the biggest star and probably one of the worst actors. Vanilla actually doesn't do too bad an Elvis imitation: he manages to look at the camera smolderingly and pout his lips out just right (in the male model tradition). So in a sense, he seems to act the part he's playing, which i assume is some version of himself. The plot is all a mess though, I still don't understand how they can mess up the "rebel comes to town and wins the girl" routine, but they somehow throw gangster/kidnappers into the mix and it just gets silly. But as I've said before, this isn't the worst movie I've seen (up til this point in my life). That honor still belongs to "Quigley", starring Gary Busey as a business man who gets re-incarnated as an adorable little dog out to save a family.

This was't as bad as I expected it to be. I mean, yes, it's absolutely inept in every single aspect, but it didn't make me laugh as much as I would have liked. The good thing is that it goes by pretty fast, I did not even notice when it was over.

HA HA HA HA!!! Now, here's a blast from the past. OH my gosh, this is definitely a movie from my childhood. Boy, was I into this movie then.

Still love the soundtrack!

ARE YOU F'N KIDDING?!?!?

Drop that zero and get with a hero. My #1 guilty pleasure. But don't get me wrong, this is a terrible movie.

was one of only two kids in the theater when I saw this back in the day. Vanilla Ice is quite the leading man, and it's a shame that his acting career didn't hit the extreme heights that it should have after this neglected classic. This would be a perfect addition to early 90s nostalgia nights, interspersed between episodes of Catwalk.

I had forgotten this movie existed. Now I find that I was glad of that fact. This film is the thing that should not be

This weak attempt to cash-in on the remaining seconds of Vanilla Ice's 15 minutes of fame came a few months too late to attract much of a crowd. Ice is a wandering rebel on a motorcycle in this cross between "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Wild Ones." When he and his rap posse get stuck in a small town because one of their bikes is "trippin'" (translation: breaks down), he quickly sets out to win the heart of a pretty high school honor student. No doubt about it, the boy has got all the right moves; unfortunately, he's no actor and the script doesn't do him any favors. For example, after he meets his new love's unhip boyfriend, the ghetto talkin', nursery rhymin' rapper spews the following line, "Drop that zero and get with the hero." Dear Abby he's not. The finished product is patently unreleasable, but of course, that didn't stop the marketing geniuses at Universal Pictures from hurling it at theaters nationwide in a desperate attempt to sell a few soundtrack albums. And few they did.

some very very funny lines. "drop that zero and get with a hero" comes to mind. Such a funny movie, even though its not supposed to be!

Yes, I liked this film and i'm not ashamed to admit it! LOL My sister and I were probably like 2 of 10 people who actually watched it...but that's not the point. LOL This film sucks BIG time but it's unintentionally hilarious and that's what makes it likeable. A lot of great moments from this film but #1 would be Ice uttering the hysterical yet famous line, "Drop that zero. Get wit a hero." It has to be heard to be appreciated. I don't want to call this a really poor film. I think it should fall into a totally new genre of "crappy cult classics." Thought this film is cheesy, i find it very quotable which I believe is a major factor in assessing the quality of a film. When my sister and mention this film it always makes us smile. Isn't that what you hope for in a good movie?

I always remember the 90's as a big "what the hell where we thinking?" era. Case and point? This movie. Vanilla Ice as an actor? Please, don't make me laugh!

ESSE FILME > VIDA HAHAHA

If you got a problem, Yo, it was probably caused by watching this movie. It is about as good as you would expect. If I ever want to explain to some young whippersnapper 30 years from now what the 90's were like, I'll ship them a copy of this on VHS.

My God and I thought his music was bad enough! This movie is stupid, white trash, cliche'd beyond your beliefs, and lacks any good actors. All this lousy film gives me is more hatred of Vanilla Ice.

facepalmed so hard i think my nose broke

Why why why why why WHY why WhY wHy wHY Why (why) WHY *why* WHYYYY?!

Five stars...yeah I gave it that. It's pure entertainment, especially when you realize that it was supposed to be a serious movie and that every actor, including the Iceman himself, was being sincere in their performance. "Whackhead tried to play baseball with my homeboy's bike"...let that sink in for a minute. It was said in this movie, and it was said with the thought that it was something that a cool teen(?) would say. If that isn't reason enough to see this movie, well I just don't know what is.
