Absolutely.  The best storage you can do.

It even extends the usable expiration date on pro film.  Figure one year out
for color; at least two years for B&W.

Thawing is the PITA.  Give it a day in the refrigerator, then warm it
gradually in the room for another day.  If you go too quickly you can get
condensation on the emulsion.  (That is NOT to say I have not sat on a roll
or two on the way to a job when I forgot to warm it in the room <GGG>)

You just want to make sure that the film is well wrapped (if is not in its original container) 
and let it come up to the ambient temperature before you open the package. If you don't 
you may get condensation all over the film.

THAT is what I said.  Don't open it until it is warm.
