Rebell in Turnschuhen

While of course its not Oscar material, this movie is just a blast to watch! I left the theater in a better mood then I was before I went in. In my opinion, that says a lot about a movie. If you are looking for a film to make you feel good and put a smile on your face, this is definitely a good pick.

The character Hayley brings a sarcastic form of humor that constantly keeps you laughing. The writing is sharp and sophisticated, much more entertaining than its predecessor "Bring It On". I would highly recommend this movie if you are looking for a good time, or need a break from the real world.

In 'Stick It' Missy Peregrym plays Haley Graham, a troubled ex-gymnast. When her adolescent antics bring her before the judge, she is given the choice of either jail time or back to training. Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges) is reluctant to bring her back. After walking out on the national championship, she is hard to trust. She let a lot of people down that day, friends and foes alike, but not everything is what it seems.

For what it was, this was an okay film. Most of the cast did surprisingly well, the choreography was really good. I think most of the actresses did their own routines. There is something of a surprise ending with a good message in the end.

However, I think this movie was fairly slow and not very believable. Haley appears to be too old for such competition. But, I think anyone who likes gymnastics or appreciates the competition will like this film.

Looked at this film and thought meh might as well by producers of bring it on so its gotta be some what good but damn I underestimated how good so hilarious loved every minute of it.

So maybe it isn't an Oscar winner, but Stick It was, by far, certainly not the worst movie to hit theaters this year. No, Tristan & Isolde would take that honor. Still, I thought this movie was worth a review written by someone who was not so obviously a guy dragged to the theater by his girlfriend and by someone with some prior experience in the gymnastics world.

While this is not a movie that adults will credit as worth while, the younger generations (13-20) will certainly find it entertaining. The comedy, in my opinion, was well scripted and executed. The actors will not win any awards for their performances, but they were able to bring the characters to life and make them seem real.

The struggle shown for the girls in the gymnastics competitions is one that most competitors face. The judges are harsh and the rules, some of them, are ridiculous.

The movie is ultimately about overcoming the obstacles thrown in your life, finding someone who will believe in you no matter what, and realizing what is most important to you.

I would certainly recommend this movie.

Well as a 12 year competitive gymnast, and only one year away from the Olympics, i know what it's like to do all the things that those girls were doing on the movie Stick it! I know what its like when people are jealous of you, I didn't let it bother me, i loved it, But i fell in love with the movie, The best movie i have ever seen, i just wish i was in it. So for anyone who plans on doing another gymnastics movie, I'm here. But i think they did a great job on matching the actresses with the real gymnast. And i have worked out with several of the real gymnast of Stick it. It was great, hard but great and loved every moment of it. If i had the chance i would do it all over again. And after that one girl fell off the beam, and Burt told Joanne Charis she was able to go to the classics, and she gets excited and shes jumping on the floor and falls, honestly if we are not on 4 inches, we do fall, i think most gymnast get hurt more walking down the street than we do in gymnastics.
