Stick It (2006)
The writer of the hit comedy "Bring It On," takes on the world of competitive gymnastics in "Stick It". Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) is a rebellious 17 year-old who is forced to return to the regimented world of gymnastics after a run-in with the law. A judge sentences Haley to her ultimate nightmare -- attending an elite gymnastics academy run by legendary hardnosed coach Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges). Haley's rebellious spirit and quick-witted banter quickly shakes things up at the strict school – making both close friends and bitter foes along the way. Haley surprises herself as she discovers an unexpected ally in the form of her new coach, and learns respect is a two-way street. Haley, Vickerman, and a group of his elite athletes band together to confront a major championship and prove that loyalty, friendships and individual athletes matter more than rules, judges or scores.

So I watched a teen comedy based on the world of gymnastics. Sue me. I actually enjoyed it. It was what it was and as a time-killer while I was waiting for something else I was doing to finish it did it's job admirably. It also had something of a message but it was laid on so thick, especially at the end, that it might...

I loved Bring It On. Sassy, fun. A guilty pleasure. This was no Bring It On. For too long the kid was too hard, the coach was too smarmy, and I didn't really believe it when they "reformed." What was most disappointing was this was a nomad story, and I usually really like nomad stories. But this one just never quite...
