Bruce Campbell stars in this airy French comedy as an American actor who arrives in France to appear in a film, only to find that the director (Novembre) has decided to shoot the entire film on an ice rink. Unfortunately, the crew can't skate, the leading lady (Chaplin) is a wannabe diva, the Lithuanian Hockey Team forgot to bring a puck, and the rink director is using this as an opportunity to relive his glory days as a skater. A madcap romantic comedy about the art of film, ice skating, and how love exposes the absurdity of life, THE ICE RINK is a thoroughly funny and touching film. [More]

Even members of Bruce Campbell's rabid cult following will probably want to wait for this one as a cheap rental.

Not as subtle as, say, "Living in Oblivion" — but often enough clever and on-target.

Consistently lighthearted and amusing, but rarely takes full advantage of its setting or subject matter.
