Stick It (The Gymnastics version of Bring It On)
14 May 2006
I thought this movie was pretty clever. The idea of a world champion gymnast quitting and then being having to force to rejoining the world of gymnastic because she got in trouble with the law was a very interesting story line. I must mention this movie was from the writers of bring it own.

The movie followed the life of "Haley" the troubled teen world champion drop out. This movie lacked the comedic timing of Bring it On. Several of the lines in the movie are extremely hilarious, but the lack of a music playing in the background in some fun scenes and moment made parts of the movie rather dull.

I enjoyed the movie, because you did get to see a side of gymnastics that I think the average viewer never gets to see. The whole thing with the "Picking Athletes" in the end of the movie was a good idea, but it was underdeveloped.

This movie set up as a great prequel, if they pick up the story line exactly where this movie ends, it would make a great movie. I felt a little jipped the way the movie ended all suddenly and everything WITH SO MANY loose ends.

The cinematography in this movie was really good. There are several shots when they are in the gym where they use some really creative angles and really creative editing.

Overall this movie does not even compare to Bring It On! but it's a decent film. It has a lot of problems with concept and character depth, but I think the target audience: Teenagers will really appreciate the sarcastic humor in this film.

A good movie to see with a group of people or with a teenager if you don't fit those two categories wait for the DVD.
