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]

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

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.
