Stick It Audience Reviews

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Franz Dowling Unrealistic, 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
SnoopyStyle Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) is a caught vandalizing a home and sentenced to VGA in Houston, Texas. It's an elite gymnastic academy run by strict Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges). She's a rebellious teen who walked out of her junior Olympic team years earlier. Nobody likes her especially top girl Joanne Charis (Vanessa Lengies). Haley wants to do big tricks but she lacks control.It tries to be too cute and too stylized at the start. It comes off as being cheesy but in a bad way. The story is a lot of girl drama. Missy Peregrym is good as the tomboy rebel. Jeff Bridges does a nice but unimpressive job. It's trying to be Mean Girls with gymnastics in a traditional sports movie. It's not aiming for a very high score and it almost sticks the landing.
callanvass Stick It was quite the little gem in my opinion. I loved the attitude it presented itself with, it was unique and refreshing. It is a teenage film, yes. The cast is so likable, and determined though, I couldn't help but enjoy myself when all was said and done. I honestly thought Gymnastics was a ridiculous sport, before watching this, I didn't really think much of it. After viewing this movie though, I most certainly have the utmost respect for them. The training, the dedication, the determination they go through, is absolutely incredible. Stick it has a lot of originality to it, as well as being unpredictable in places. Sending Hayley to a gymnastics organization for her criminal actions, was genius in my opinion. A lot of the laughs come from the scenes with Peregrym and Bridges. The two are relentlessly funny together, and often had me grinning, like crazy. Hopefully Missy is onto big things, because she has the looks, the determination, and the charisma to go far.Performances. Missy Peregrym is a gorgeous woman, but also has natural acting talent too. She's a brat at 1st, but a likable brat, and I was able to relate to her, despite her cold actions. Her charisma really shines, near the end of the movie. Jeff Bridges has always been a favorite of mine, and this movie proves why. He's funny and on the ball with his delivery as the weasel, yet good meaning coach. Vanessa Lengies somehow manages to be likable, even if she's a complete b*tch. Nikki SooHoo&Maddy Curley are likable as the friends. Kellan Lutz& John Patrick Amedori are comic relief, and they do it adequately. Julie Warner is a very good character actress, and played the selfish mom of Joanne's to a t.Bottom line. Stick it was a very pleasant surprise. I didn't expect much going in, and I got a highly original and in your face film, that left me grinning, from ear to ear, when all was said and done. It's criminally underrated at 5.9, so hopefully IMDb users can get this one up!. Very much, recommended8/10
Rhys Cooper I 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.
