"Ice Pirates" melted, not cubed
19 November 2002
This is one of those hybrid movies, grafting together a sci-fi space movie and a blue-collar trucker movie. Actually, it's not all that bad a concept but that's all it is -- a concept in search of a plot. The better-than-expected cast helps even though most of them appear to be slumming it.

Stephen Dorff spends the central part of the movie stripped down and squeezed into a pair of tight black undershorts while he's bound in chains with his arms stretched above his head. These scenes should please those fraternity house guys who really, really enjoyed being Pledgemaster during Hell Week.

And isn't it heartening that Mr. Dorff hasn't been talked into shaving his chest?
