Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Simply Perfect
Just perfect...
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I really liked this movie. It made me wanna join gymnastics. The movie is funny if you get the punch lines.
Not a very good movie. It has it's charms if you watch it with the sound off. Whoever wrote the script should probably consider a career in roofing. Jeff Bridges is the only character who seems like a human being.
First of all my wife and I, love this film. We are both huge fans of Gymnastics and it is difficult to find a movie, or even a documentary which captures the emotion of the sport the way "Stick it" does. On the surface of this film its about young girls flipping around a mat, and flying off of the uneven bars but, it goes deep into the inner workings of the competitive arena. In addition to the competitive insight, this film gives a glimpse into how parents are so influential in the lives of their children. In the scenes between the lead character "Haley" and the adults in this film, clearly shows the struggle that these kids have. All too many times these girls are forced into a sport and expected, by their folks and their coaches, to do extraordinary things. Not too many people who watch gymnastics on TV would know how much pressure these girls have on them from their parents, from their coach, and from their teammates. They have all of this stress and then they compete and the judges don't do the competitors justice.I thank the writers of this film for finally bringing a quality movie about the reality of the sport. I highly recommend this film.
I was really impressed.There are so many things that are so agreeable if you have ever tried to do any of it.It's very well done and interesting. The cinematography, color, quality and sets are awesome.This movie is great. I would very much like to see it again.It might indeed be a movie worth only watching on DVD, however.The style is very much like Step Up 2, but is a little more down to earth.I really enjoyed watching it on TV.
