Cool as Ice

source: Cool as Ice

This is one of the worst excuses for a movie I've ever seen. I know that pretty much every up and coming pop star has to get a flick of his or her own, but really. Vanilla Ice is probably the worst excuse for a rapper to begin with (I don't like rap, but can at least respect legitimate rap artists) what made them think that he could try to act? The plot, or lack there of, is a shameless attempt to make Vanilla Ice look like the bad boy with a heart of gold rather than the schmuck that he really is. I hope that Michael Gross was paid well for this piece of crap, lord knows that he probably needed more cash after Family Ties went off the air, but why the hell did you do this movie???? Did they threaten you? Robbie's one liners were scathing, not as in they were vicious to the people they were directed against, but as in they sucked that badly. What girl ever fell for "Forget the zero, get with the hero" anyway? If that worked, every whiteboy, wanna be rapper would be knee deep in tail. But now no one will use it anyway because it's a Vanilla Ice line. I don't even want to get into the lack of story. His gang was obviously assembled by some studio head because none of these people would be caught dead with Vanilla Ice. The grandma and grandpa mechanics tried too hard to be funny, but fell well short of the mark. The girl's boyfriend and his friends are your typical preppie types that are always included in these films continue to show the lack of originality. Finally, the girl's little brother bugged the hell out of me. What made this kid think that Vanilla Ice was cool? I know, A PAYCHECK. Thankfully, Vanilla Ice's career is dead.

How the hell could any film maker make a film so bad.Its baffling but then again it was directed by the guy who destroyed the live version of Inspector Gadget.You can also see he did not get much work for a long, long time after this film.Vanilla struggles with every painful word that he mutters. I enjoyed the film a lot more when Mr.Ice was off screen.Every time I saw his stupid head with his ridiculous jackets I felt like braking the T.V.What makes it worse the film makers actually thought that the public would actually go and see this movie. However no one did and by the time it was released, Mr.Ice's music career was over and this movie bombed.It deserved more than that......It should be banned

I am wondering what Vanilla was thinking when he actually invested 1 million dollars into the production of this film. He should also kill the person who was the costume designer for this movie. With his idiotic Jacket with words all over it. And his stupid hat with the shining metal on it. I also think the plot was something of complete idiocy that noone would belive in their right minds. I will admit the special effects had me laughing till i cried. with the motorcycle jump over the fence THAT looked so bad. If u ever get a chance to see this movie watch it. about anything u do would be more productive than watching this movie. but if u r feeling depressed it will bring u back to happiness because it is so dumb

Forget your Dr. Dre, your Public Enemy, your Bone Thugs & Harmony, this is where it gets real. Everybody loves Vanilla Ice, and his popularity is well deserved. How can you not love someone who's done so much for the hip hop community? So where do I start? A film of this quality is hard to capture in words. Crazy action, fast motorbikes, funky beats, Vanilla Ice blows your senses away with his great music and phenomenal acting performance. Strutting away in his own personal style, Johnny (Vanilla Ice) makes his way into the life of a young suburban girl, Kathy (Kristin Minter). Aided by his no-nonsense posse straight from the ghetto, he slowly but surely wows his way into her heart, solving her parents' mafia troubles with a mere flick of the wrist. From the first time they meet right up to their first kiss, the romantic plot will grab hold of your heart and sweep you along with the smooth coolness that only Vanilla Ice can deliver. What a dreamboat. Plenty of laughs too, as Vanilla Ice uses his dry-witted sense of humor to outsmart everybody who stands in his way. But there's more. We've all had situations where people judge us according to our looks, where we're from, and who they think we are. Vanilla Ice teaches us not to judge, to look beyond the exterior and to the true hearts and motives of people. Like he himself so wisely says: "It ain't where you from, it where you at". Something we all should realize. This movie is a true masterpiece that will long live to reflect the acting and music of this legend.

This is probably one of the finest masterpieces ever created in the medium of film. It has Vanilla Ice. He says "Yep Yep" a lot. And there's lots of RAD rap numbers and cheesy-ass dance scenes. And it's all mixed in with the most implausible and ridiculous romance I've ever witnessed. Plus an ultra-crappy fight scene between Vanilla Ice and some, uh, bad guys. And you wouldn't believe what this man can pull off with a motorcycle. Like when he's going along this completely flat road, and suddenly FWOOSH! he gets air and jumps over a fence, almost killing an innocent bystander riding a horse (who later turns out to be the girl of his dreams). And then, just when you think the movie couldn't get worse... it does. All you people who voted anything other than 1 should change your votes, so that this movie gets #1 on the worst movie list! Jeez. I know it's a "great" movie and all, but wouldn't be nice to see this movie be #1?

This is one of the greatest movies ever made!! Like many other reviewers here have stated, it's so unintentionally hilarious. Hollywood makes hundreds of bad movies every year, and most of them are unwatchable. What makes 'Cool As Ice' so incredible is found in it's complete lack of quality. You realize that it's a steaming pile of dung in the first 5 minutes. If it took 20 or 30 minutes for you to realize this you would feel cheated. The movie would just fall into the 'c**p' movie pile. You would hate it. Because 'Cool as Ice' never fools you, you can quickly set about taking it for what it is. When you do that my friends, you are in for quite a treat. If you grew up during the late 80s - early 90s...RENT THIS MOVIE and prepare to laugh. If you've seen this movie and agree with my comments, I urge you to give this movie a perfect 10. Another IMDB reviewer (the name escapes me) originally had this idea, but I thought I would reiterate it here. There have only been a handful of movies that I have ever seen that I have found so completely entertaining... and isn't that what movies are all about?!?! PS - If Mr.Van Winkle ever reads this... KUDOS to you! You have done that rare thing, made a movie so terribly bad that it was PERFECT!

Ungggh. Ennyyh. Oooof. Owwww. I'm sorry, word's can't describe what I felt because of this movie. It embodies everything that I hate about the 80's and early 90's and I have a personal grudge with that time era. The time when break dancing ruled, white rappers sucked, and Hammer pants reigned supreme. The time of Kris-Kros, New Kids on the Block and Ace of Base and I DID NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT! Ahem... Sorry. I won't go into detail about all of the things I terribly hate about this movie because it would take me all day and all night, so I will just hit some highlights. 1.) What's up with his hair? It looks like someone took a waffle iron to the back of his head. 2.) I hate all of his pants. They should be burned. 3.) In that "preppy" bar, when Ice was rapping, in the background, I noticed the most stereotypical depiction of a group of nerds I have ever seen in my entire life. That one scene alone made me want too shoot Vanilla Ice more than I had ever wanted to before. 4.) What's up with that fight scene at the end of the movie? Someone makes an entire movie about two mean guys tormenting someone's past, and how do they get even with them? With 30 seconds of fighting. Things I liked about this movie? Very little really... But I did (for some reason) actually like that house they stayed at while the guy's bike got fixed. I honestly want a pair of gigantic salt/pepper shakers like the ones from that house. Other than that, though... this movie was a misuse of the $2.12 I spent to rent it. It's only worth about $1.00 of experience to see a movie like this. That is all from me. Stay away from this movie if you can. Don't go out searching desperately for it, but if you happen to see it laying on a shelf in the video store, pick it up and give it a look... Come on! I dare ya! -Scott

this is by far the funniest movie I have ever seen!! It has great dance scenes in it and some incredible acting by Mr Ice. It´s so damn funny that I actually have managed to see it twice!! And halfway through the movie, when you thought that nothing more funny possibly can happen, Mr Ice starts dancing in the desert... This movie is by far the best there is!!!! He is so damn funny.........

I heard a funny joke about the ill-fated two-hit wonder Vanilla Ice once, in which the film "9 1/2 Weeks" was mistaken for a documentary on Ice's career. When the rapper hit it big with his (terrible, I might add) whopping two rap/pop songs, movie execs wasted no time in exploiting his short-lived fame, and this film was the result. The flick is terribly acted (despite an early, yet not wisely chosen appearance from Naomi Campbell) and horribly written. If you want to see a bunch of one-hit-wonders, see "That Thing You Do" instead. --Bud Sturguess, Texas
