Movie Reviews of Stick It
Movie Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Stick it is a fun movie to watch with teenagers, especially if they are interested in sports and have lived through the arduous work-outs of gymnastics.
The main character, Haley Graham, beautifully played by Missy Peregrym, is a troubled teen who walked out of a competition because her family was coming apart, but her friends think she simply quit, giving up her right to win first place. A rather amazing pirouette on a bike lands her in trouble with the police, and she is sentenced by a judge to either go to juvenile detention or to a gymnastics camp, and she soon finds herselfe under the tutelage of Burt Vickerman, played by Jeff Bridges, a trainer that is tough, demanding, will take nothing from her, and sees through her every manipulation.
Burt Vickerman has the reputation of getting all his students injured, but as he says... "he has insurance to cover it." A love hate relationship is evident between coach and gymnast and soon we see Haley training to her potential, which is excellent. The other gymnasts are excellent characters, with some routines leaving us spell bound by their grace and aptitude. The battle between coach and student, between coach and judges, between a system of judging that leaves audiences upset by their lack of fairness are awesome. Don't miss this movie!
Summary of Stick It
Defy And Conquer.When a rebellious ex-gymnast is forced back into the rigid world of rules conformity and spandex she brings her in-your-face attitude along. As the battle of wills between coach and athlete evolves into mutual respect her teammates learn that some rules are meant to be broken.System Requirements:Running Time: 103 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 786936700596 Manufacturer No: 05019600The writer of cheerleader classic Bring It On makes her directing debut with another movie built around a classic sport for girls: gymnastics. No one knows why Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym, Life As We Know It) walked away in the middle of a high-profile gymnastics competition--but after given a choice between returning to gymnastics or going to juvenile detention, Haley finds herself under the tutelage of Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges, The Big Lebowski, Fearless), a trainer with a tough-love approach and a dubious reputation for getting his students injured. As they learn to work together, they discover they share a hatred for the narrow, unbending rules by which gymnastic routines are judged. Almost all sports movies are fables of wild talent getting harnessed by discipline. In Stick It, wild talent bites back with a little political awakening--in fact, the movie's main weakness is that it doesn't get political enough; the rebellion at the end happens too quickly, too easily. But what you'll remember from the movie are sequences that revel in the sheer beauty of gymnastics, montages that fuse the visual styles of Busby Berkeley and Leni Riefenstahl into a dizzying adulation of grace and athleticism. --Bret Fetzer
