Freezer Burn (2007): 7 out of 10: A low budget charmer is the best way to describe Freezer Burn. It has some good naturalistic performances and some funny writing.
It isn’t perfect by any means and some parts, in particular the ending, fall a little flat. It is also a low-budget movie, with all the limitations that come with that. If you can look past the lack of polish, there are some very fun and entertaining bits in here.
Ella Rae Peck gives a charming, and most importantly believable, performance as the objet d’underage de passion. Her smile brightens up the screen. (Great, now I sound like the protagonist). She is, however, a realistic character and not some fantasy or tragic Hollywood concoction.
Michael Consiglio gives the other standout performance as the wheelchair-bound lab assistant. He reminds me of Nicholas Brendon (Xander) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He has that impressive ability to turn a silly throwaway line into something genuinely funny.
Overall, I had a fun time. Freezer Burn has a great tone. Kind of silly, but also realistic compared to a more polished Hollywood film. I recommended it for both Sci-fi and low budget fans.
