Stick It

Yeah there wasn't a whole lot of gymnastics. There was some cool tumbling, some cool falling. There's a competition in the middle and instead of showing the girls doing their thing, they do this weird editing thing that you see in the trailer, where all the girls look like they are going at once..I can't explain it. But you don't see any cool gymnast stuff.

And I'm gonna go ahead and ruin the ending for anyone who wants to know it: The girls get to the big nationals thing, and because the main girl and the coach have such a bad reputation, the judges aren't fair to them. So the girls on the main chicks (Hayley) team all fuck up intentionally in protest. They get the bright idea to have EVERYONE do it, so they end up choosing the winner for each event, and not the judges. Which is just stupid.

I also heard that at one point someone does a breakdancing head spin on some uneven bars. Er, why have someone do that stuff when you know, *real* gymnastics is cool enough? I hope the rumor about this is wrong...

I'm totally going to Netflix this though...

It's true. That's actually a cool part of the movie.

I thought it was stupid.

Would you say it was awesomely bad or more piece of crap bad?

[thecupcakekid]

Piece of crap bad, but the people I went with liked it. Even they said there wasn't enough actual gymnastics though.

I was so excited to see this movie, but it sucked. Mainly because I loathed the main character. She was just so cliche, "hard core" bad girl. Worse than the fact that this movie is a running cliche and terribly predictable is the fact that it's downright boring. How can you have all of the elements of a great movie (well, my idea of a great movie) and turn out this piece of suckage?

And the weirdo part that cupcake describes is such a wasted opportunity. Instead of seeing gymnastics, it's this strange montage that made me turn to Mr. Newmy and ask "Is this a stoner movie?"

Such a disappointment.
