Movie Review: Perfect Body (Eating Disorders)
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't remember seeing this movie when it first came out. . but as soon as I heard about it, I looked it up on youtube. . I ended up buying it the next day.
Amy Jo Johnson does an excellent job as a high school teenager that becomes an olypmic contender and ends up having an eating disorder, that almost kills her.
Andie (Amy Jo Johnson) is very excited that she is finally training for the olypmics. While training, she meets a winner of the olypmics, Leslie Reynolds. The two becomes friends but are very competive with eachother. Andie is embrassed when the coach makes her get on a scale in front of everyone and is told that she is too fat. She starts doing her "own diet" where she is not really eating, until she is introduced to eating and then throwing up her food, thanks to Leslie. Andie goes on a downward sprial of being moody, being out of control, and being weak. She ends up almost killing herself, working so hard and not eating anything, she ends up in the hospital.
I recommend this movie to ANYONE. I love it, and it's definatly a favorite.

Welcome to Andie's world. A world of school, training and eating disorders. Andie Bradley is a high achiever who accels at anything she does. When she gets the chance to train with an Olympic coach and has the opportunity to go to the Olympics, she jumps at it. Only after her and her mother relocate to Seattle does the pressure begin. In the most humiliating moment of her life she's put on scale in front of the entire gym and told to lose weight. So she does. Only she couldn't stop once she started. Thus, begins her spiraling downwards into the devestating world of anoroxia and bulmia. This is very well made movie and highlights the stress and strain that female athelites feel and the pressure to be thin and perfect. This is not your average movie. The stress Andie feels is acurately portrayed and the pain of her parents is raw and real. This movie achieves its goal to tell a story in a thoughtful and compelling way.Movie Review: Perfect Body Awesome Movie

When I was younger, I saw this movie and it was actually quite a long time ago. It was on life time and I was excited since it was a gymnastics movie. I just bought the dvd and I recieved it today and just finished watching it.
Now that I understand the issues better it made the movie easier to understand and I really enjoyed it. I am a huge gymnastics fan, and on again off again gymnast and I know how serious issues can be like this. Excellent movie very informative.
Also does any one know where i can find the lyrics to the dvd? i really wanted the lyrics to the song that is played a few times a girl is singing it and its playing in the scene where she is in the caf debating on eating and on the uneven bars. If you know please email me at cheertg@aol.com
Movie Review: Perfect Body
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is really good. I enjoyed it because I enjoy Amy Jo Johnson, she has wonderful acting skills as well as gymnast skills. Once you watch this movie you realize how hard it is to be in sports and deal with the pressures of being thin, or perfect, wether you are male or female. Eating disorders are a huge problem in todays society and should be shown and taught to young kids so that they understand what the damaging effects are and what should be done about them, or the steps to take to overcome the problem. This movie has a great story behind it and is a good movie in an all around different way.Movie Review: Excellent

I ordered this movie after finding out it had Amy Jo Johnson in it. I've loved her acting ever since I saw her in Power Rangers and Susie Q so I figured I'd really like this movie as well. I was definitely right on.
The movie was very powerful and shocking. I loved the music picked for it because it just made it even more haunting. Andie's downward spiral is evident, from the weight loss to the sudden mood swings. It was very powerful.
This movie is definitely one of my new favorites; I've already watched it twice and I've a feeling I'll be watching it again soon.
