As a shameless medley of Flashdance, Rocky, Busby Berkeley routines and hip-hop videos, Stick It is a glorious, over-the-top girl-power fantasy. It's also a thrilling insider look at the obsessive world of elite gymnastics.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2018

A message of competitive independence permeates debut director Jessica Bendinger's spunky movie about Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) a headstrong gymnast-disguised-as-rebel who learns to embrace her talents by way of careful coaching from Jeff Bridges.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 19, 2009

Like most sports movies, Stick It has a message: Unless they're equipped with loads of sass-back and a pile of band T-shirts that announce their hardcoreness, female gymnasts are really, really stupid.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 7, 2007

A middle-aged white guy who's not a perv can actually enjoy the snappy dialogue, astounding athletics and solidly sentimental sports clichés.

an essence of by-mistake-80s-homage is the only thing keeping this movie at the crust of the rest of made for 온라인카지노추천 teen flicks

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 14, 2007

Stick It was not made for fat, bald guys in their mid-30s. So is it a big surprise that I didn't like the movie?

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 5, 2006

...sample line of dialogue: "I'm so sure I'm practically deodorant!"

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 19, 2006

'This sport is a total joke!' fumes the spunky gymnast heroine of Stick It, a sentiment that will be shared by anyone who wastes their hard-earned on this silly teen comedy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2006

Star Missy Peregrym shows more promise in her first feature, despite the fact that her teenage years are clearly behind her, and her charismatic screen presence enlivens an otherwise dull film.

| Oct 14, 2006

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2006

Missy Peregrym is a real find - she gives an energetic, funny and extremely physical performance, to the point where you feel exhausted just watching her.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2006

The script fights well against the cliche-ridden plot but this is very average all round.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 13, 2006

Snappy dialog and some prickly satire give it an edge most of these youthful romps lack.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2006

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 23, 2006

This is a movie for fourteen-year-olds that feels like it's been written by one.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 18, 2006

Writer director Jessica Bendiger has in part differentiated the film by giving it an indie feel. But the storyline is misguided in that it suggests that bad sportsmanship is to be admired.

| Jun 13, 2006

For a film whose characters value authenticity and natural talent, it's ironic that Stick It's rebellious nature is more of a fashion statement than state of mind and its showstopping physical feats...are computer-aided.

| Original Score: C+ | May 15, 2006

Bridges maintains his dignity as best he can, but Peregrym fails to convince, either as a teenager or as a gymnast.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 12, 2006

Bendinger's film is a mess. That's really all there is to it.
