This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

A rap-oriented remake of "The Wild One" (1953), with heavy emphasis on the fact that Vanilla Ice has assumed the Marlon Brando role.The film was developed as a vehicle for Vanilla Ice. It has received negative reviews, and was a commercial failure, grossing only $1.2 million from a $6 million budget. Director David Kellogg primarily a director of commercials and music videos, later disowned the film. Though he went on to make "Inspector Gadget", which is no better.Interestingly, "Cool as Ice" director of photography was future "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", and "Minority Report" cinematographer Janusz Kamiński. Maybe Steven Spielberg saw something everyone else missed? In fact, this is not nearly as bad of a movie as it is made out to be. Ba, yes, but amusing in its own right. This is still better than some of the films in the "Ernest" franchise.

...the most awful film in the history of cinema.Imagine every embarrassing moment you've ever had and imagine every time you've witnessed somebody else's embarrassing moment and felt empathy for them. Imagine every humiliation; guys imagine every unintentional boner, gals imagine every spotting of white pants at the dance, imagine every drunk puking into the gutter, bad dancing, flubbed speech, insulting someone who is standing right behind you when you didn't know they were there. Picture cursing a blue streak and realizing your religious grandmother was in the next room listening, just every awful thing that makes your belly churn and your face turn red to recall. Imagine being forced to re-live it all in an instant, and then somehow you are forced to consume it and then you vomit it all back out and for 90 more minutes you are forced to wallow in that vomit, a vomit reeking of despair and chagrin, acidic with the burning wish that it had never happened...That is the experience of watching this movie. It is the stuff of some circle of Hell undiscovered before 1991. It is NOT funny.

I'm going to reveal something shocking: Cool As Ice is not that bad.What? Really? Yes. While it doesn't reach the heights of an actual good or even competent movie, it's the fun factor which fuels it.Vanilla Ice gives maybe one of the most awkward performances you'll ever see, but that is part of what is so hilarious. In a movie practically tailormade for you, about how you're the most rebellious and "rad" one in town, tell me with honesty you really wouldn't jump at the chance and enjoy yourself, trying to seem as cool as you possibly could, no matter what everyone else would think. In that way, he's exactly the same as the character in the movie.Long-time Janus Jaminski gives the movie a very wonky, appropriately 90's style look as well. The movie is heavy on the music, and there's a soundtrack throughout which nicely sets up every scene. And while the raps might be cheesy, they could stand quite solidly on their own and work as party tunes.My only problem is when it gets too serious. I'm watching this to laugh, not to see poor Vanilla Ice half-heartedly try to act emotional. But it's not a major detriment to the entertainment, and Michael Gross stands out as the only actor who comes off as convincing. Even when face to face with villains so cartoony you would think you turned over to Disney Channel.There is some hysterical dialogue throughout, but I'm not sure if it's funny because it's well-written dumb comedy, or if it's just funny because it's purely dumb. Either way, it doesn't matter. Because at the end of the day...... just add ice. Drop it!
