Review - Stick It

"Stick It" is a comedy/drama. The story centers around a young woman named Haley Graham, a former elite gymnast who stunned everyone by walking out on her team at a major competition and prevented the team from reaching the medals. Fast forward two years, and Haley is now in major trouble with the law. Arrested for major vandalism, she is given the option - military school, jail, or return to gymnastics. Reluctantly, she re-enters a world where she is a total pariah.
Despite the fact that most of the movie is completely predictable, it is an enjoyable film. There is not a great deal of character development in some of the supporting cast...but they have enough personality that it isn't a major factor. And you'll never look at competitive gymnastics the same way again.
If you are a fan of sports movies, comedy, or a just plain fun time, this is a good movie for you.
