This comedy is about a rebellious young lady, and one time hot gymnastics prospect, gets arrested and given a choice, go to jail or go to a tough gymnastics academy. The judge sends her to her worst nightmare the academy.
This is an amusing little comedy. Sure you can pretty much fill in the blanks as to where the plot is going to go, but it doesn't much matter since you actually like the people on the screen. Credit the cast which does infinitely more than walk through their roles. Its nice to see a movie where the cast actually cares about what they are doing. This is especially true of Jeff Bridges who has been pretty much phoning in his performances for the last couple of movies. Here Bridges, as the tough of nails coach, manages to hit the all the right notes in both the funny and the serious scenes. I also have to single out the good script which nicely decorates a run of the mill script with some very funny one liners.
Worth seeing.
