Une seconde chance

From an adult perspective its pretty poor, but the girls 5, 7 and 8 absolutely loved it and spent the next hour doing gymnastics around the house. The plot is predictable and the acting is average, at best. A good movie when you want to have a cuddle the kids and nap on the couch.

Movie was selected by a patient on an ambulance transport. 100% not my choice.

Writing was choppy and so disconnected I could barely follow the story. No character development, backstories were minimal or non-existent. Cinematography was poor at best. Framing of shots looked more like it was done by people in elementary school.

With as many as they did, this movie should have been named "Montage".

And the use of the blatant "Eye of the Tiger" ripoff was pointless drivel.

This movie is a low budget flick without many worthwhile qualities. Everything about the movie is mediocre at best: the script, the acting, the directing, the music, and so on. The adult actors all hover at around run-of-the-mill level. The child actors go from not good to terrible. At times the acting is so cringe-worthily bad that even the most patient of us will think to turn it off. The script is really odd with a slowly-paced storytelling punctuated with unconvincing developments and silly training montages. This all comes to a predictable and ridiculously optimistic ending that not only misses the chance for a non-Hollywood story arc but takes the standard formula and makes it even more of a happy ending than usual in a Hollywood movie. I've seen truly awful movies and this isn't that bad but it's down there.

I happened to catch this movie on a Christian TV channel recently. Although there is no overt religious messaging, the movie has a positive, moral story line and is 'clean' (no sex, violence), making it suitable for kids and for adults who are tired of skin, guts, and gore. Some reviewers may consider the movie 'milquetoast', but I considered it a pleasant respite from the worldly messaging too often promoted in TV, music, and movies today. I intend to purchase this as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter who is a gymnast.

Very pretentious but some nice messages in the script just so tacky and corny. Completely ripped-off from similar genre films.

Direction is ok but the acting is shocking. The adults look like they had a crash-course at Neighbours.

Very rich lifestyle film. Very dull. Unbelievable corny script. Not sure how this got a budget. Terrible.
