Haley's rebellious spirit and quick-witted banter quickly shakes things up at the strict school - making both close friends and bitter foes along the way. Haley surprises herself as she discovers an unexpected ally in the form of her new coach, and learns respect is a two-way street. Haley, Vickerman, and a group of his elite athletes band together to confront a major championship and prove that loyalty, friendships and individual athletes matter more than rules, judges or scores.

    It's "Bring It On" meets "Rebel Without A Cause".
  • November 2, 2008
    This movie is OK as a filler during the NFL commercials. Typical rebellious-teen-who-mends-her-ways-and-solves-the-sport's-problems movie.

    I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was really cute and there were some really funny moments. Some of the "dumb gymnast" moments were a little over the top though.

    This little seen teen comedy is excellent. Jeff Bridges and Missy Peregrym put on a good show and the gymnastics is amazing at times. Real gymnasts are throughout the movie like co-star Maddie Curly, a UNC Tarheel All American Gymnast. If you havent seen this movie do yourself a ...( read more)favor and watch it. Its well worth the time.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Yes, we're in the world of elite gymnastics, and Jessica Bendinger's Stick It is an enjoyable exercise in girl power. full review

April 28, 2006
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Rarely is a sports movie so inept that it can't even make its central figure likable. full review

April 27, 2006
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Stick It uses the story of a gymnast's comeback attempt as a backdrop for overwrought visual effects, music videos, sitcom dialogue and general pandering. full review

April 27, 2006
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Stick It may be tough to stick out unless you're a girl between the ages of 11 and 16. full review

April 27, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

In terms of eye candy, Stick It is a feast. Unfortunately, the film is a famine in just about every other regard. full review

April 26, 2006
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Jessica Bendinger looks to do for gymnastics what her Bring It On did for cheerleading: namely, give a stereotypically girlie-girl activity some defiant, individualistic attitude. full review

    What is up? Are we all talking about the same movie, b/c the movie I saw was so bad that I had to fast forward through parts and even then I was thinking about turning it off.
