Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia2008 Olympic gold medalist, Nastia Liukin, has a cameo in this film. She was 'chosen to win' the uneven bar competition.
- GoofsDuring the final meet if you look beyond the first three rows of spectators the stands are clearly filled with dummies to make the arena look full. It becomes obvious when the real people are clapping and cheering and the dummies remain immobile.
- Quotes
Haley Graham: [V.O] Gymnastics tells you 'no' all day long. It mocks you over and over again, telling you that you're an idiot. That you're crazy. If you like running full speed towards a stationary object, vault's for you. If you like peeling pieces of skin the size of quarters off your hands, bars is for you. Because the only thing more fun than rips, is when your rips get rips. It's super sexy. And floor? Are you serious? I mean, who doesn't wanna parade around in a leotard getting wedgies and doing dorky choreography? It's delicious. If you like falling, then gymnastics is the sport for you! You get to fall on your face, your ass, your back, your knees and your pride! Good thing I didn't like falling. I *loved* it!
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove a partial use of strong language ("Motherf....") in order to obtain a PG classification. An uncut 12A classification was available.

While this is not a movie that adults will credit as worth while, the younger generations (13-20) will certainly find it entertaining. The comedy, in my opinion, was well scripted and executed. The actors will not win any awards for their performances, but they were able to bring the characters to life and make them seem real.
The struggle shown for the girls in the gymnastics competitions is one that most competitors face. The judges are harsh and the rules, some of them, are ridiculous.
The movie is ultimately about overcoming the obstacles thrown in your life, finding someone who will believe in you no matter what, and realizing what is most important to you.
I would certainly recommend this movie.
