Chalk It Up

My 7 year daughter and 9 year old son loved it. I found some of the jokes quite funny too. Nothing deep and doesn't pretend to be. This is probably why I didn't find it nauseating like most any other film of this genre. It is purposely over the top at times and not yet another Disney production. Thumbs up.

The best movie in the world, compelling story and touching performance. Great cinematic and visual effect. Just PERFECT.

It's a university.. Why pick a 35 year old woman to be Apple? That's just weird..

This movie is just like any chick lit you ever watch, except it is focusing on gymnastic. There is a smart girl as main character who is blinded by love. Her boyfriend who suddenly become bad to deliberately make way for another lover potential. It's light and easy to follow, they play this movie in safe mode all along the way aided by the whole eye-candy casts. If you just want to kill some time with some non- Nolan/cronenberg/Kubrick kind of movie. This is it.

And also the usual teenage movie cliches, being in love with the wrong one, not seeing what is right in front of you, setting the wrong kind of goals for yourself, having to find what you truly want and so forth. Now you can see where this is going from a mile a way. Or even further, it's not really surprising, but it does have a certain charme to it.

The actors and the script are not that bad, and they actually achieve that you kind of care for them. Even though there is not that much to get out of the "story", it's nicely told. So if you don't have cynic mind going into it, you may have fun watching it. Not too much, just because of the nature of the film and the already mentioned predictability.
