I have 2 daughters and after seeing this horrible film I was so glad that neither one turned out like anyone in this train wreck movie... Haley (the 'star') is a rebel who refuses to take anyone seriously or has any respect for authority or anyone for that matter... She starts the movie with doing BMX stunts and causing $14,000 worth of damage to a property with her friends, 'the good natured, harmless losers who are in every teen movie'..... She shows no remorse or even cares about the damage done and then proceeds to be a complete ass and snot nosed kid with the court, her mom, her dad, her new coach, her fellow athletes and anyone else in the movie.... I felt absolutely zero compassion, understanding or any kind of 'good' emotion towards this girl. If I was her parent I would try at least to have a talk about morals and school and leading a good life and so on but her parents (like everyone in this movie) are so unlikable and uncaring you sense that will never happen. So I guess I would let the court send her to 'juvie' and wish her the best of luck. Three minutes into the film I disliked this girl entirely...We find out later dear ole dad spent 4 times the amount of tuition to get her into this gym school and it makes you wonder why... until you find out she is Olympic class athlete material who just decided to quit 2 years ago for a reason no one seems to explain. Skip ahead through all the training and 'I'm better than you' inter-girl catfights and we are now at the official competition, all the girls refuse to do any gymnastics (after years of preparation) so that one girl who does do the routines can get the gold medal... uh-huh... And these girls who refuse will ever get a chance to compete again after that display of sportsmanship ???? And lastly, just an annoying issue really... the sub sub plot involves the 2 lame friends who let Haly take all the blame for the damage at the beginning, they keep showing up at her practice academy which is 400 miles away, and seem to stay for the rest of the movie. One keeps hitting on a girl to go to prom, so I assume he is in High School and then again, why isn't he at school ???? And they drive there in a vehicle which is probably unlikely as they are losers without jobs and where are the parents of the losers while they are away for a month or whatever... the movie does not give you a hint of any of this and it doesn't seem to matter to anyone else, so I quit caring also....Last point.... The scene at the shopping mall is just so unbelievable that I laughed out loud at the stupidity of it all... The first thing I thought of was where is mall security and why are these idiot kids acting like this, while in the rest of the movie they act somewhat restrained ????horrible horrible stupid amateurish film that needs to be ignored at all costs, unless you are a 9 year old girl who likes gymnastics....
... View MoreUnrealistic, stupid, boring, poorly written, annoying characters, terrible plot... I could go on forever. This movie was absolute trash from beginning to end. Don't waste your life watching this junk, even 'Bring it on' was better. On no planet would national gymnastics championships go like it does in 'Stick It'. The first half of the movie was bearable, even though I hated every single character (especially the main arrogant bitch) , but the second half was trash. An entire half hour or so is spent on one tournament where nothing happens except a bunch of talented gymnasts purposefully walking off instead of performing any tricks, and the audience cheers every bloody time?? What the actual f** is happening here? In conclusion, the movie was so bad that I had to get onto IMDb and write my first ever movie review. Thank You
... View MoreI was really impressed.There are so many things that are so agreeable if you have ever tried to do any of it.It's very well done and interesting. The cinematography, color, quality and sets are awesome.This movie is great. I would very much like to see it again.It might indeed be a movie worth only watching on DVD, however.The style is very much like Step Up 2, but is a little more down to earth.I really enjoyed watching it on TV.
... View MoreWhat part of this movie was not stolen from Bring It On? An outsider comes on the scene, gets peoples backs up with her attitude, and eventually gets everyone on her side to change the way things were before. We've seen it before, move on. The character of Hayley, I found wasn't likable in the slightest, and if I hadn't paid to see the movie, I would've walked out. This is not Missy Peregrym at her best by far. The characters surrounding Hayley were a lot more interesting to watch than her stereotypical character.Nearer the end of the movie the storyline seemed to pick up a little, but by then it was too late. It's not a movie I would watch back again.
