Synopsis

After a run-in with the law, Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) is forced to return to the world from which she fled some years ago. Enrolled in an elite gymnastics program run by the legendary Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges), Haley's rebellious attitude gives way to something that just might be called team spirit.

Critics' reviews

"A spry teenage comedy that gets everything right, Stick It takes the usual batch of underdogs, dirt bags, mean girls and bimbos and sends them somersaulting through happy clichés and unexpected invention."

Nathan Lee: The New York Times
"Subversively funny, Stick It sees gymnastics as a microcosm of teen life."

Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer
"Peregrym's performance as fiery, troubled teen Haley Graham is a triumph of charisma over technique."

Jami Bernard: New York Daily News
"Stick It reels from its own frenetic pace. The music is loud, the camera cuts are incessant and everything seems geared toward distracting us from what's going on onscreen. Which is not much."

Chicago Tribune
"Much of the honest dialogue has the same feel as John Hughes' and Cameron Crowe's movies during their best years"

Peter Hartlaub: SFgate
"The final meet felt eternal to me, but little girls may love it all, and even if they don't, they're almost sure to practice their handstands when they get home."

Chuck Wilson: LA Weekly
"Despite the familiar story arc and MTV visuals, Bendinger puts this across with a certain amount of pizzazz, and the competitive gymnastics are often spectacular."

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
