Plot Summary: The writer of the hit comedy "Bring It On," takes on the world of competitive gymnastics in "Stick It". Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) is a rebellious 17 year-old who is forced to return to the regimented world of gymnastics after a run-in with the law. A judge sentences Haley to her ultimate nightmare -- attending an elite gymnastics academy run by legendary hardnosed coach Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges). 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.

Watching this movie right now with my former-gymnast roomie. It is horribly awesome.

Missy Peregrim. Sounds like the new professor at Hogwards.

I just watched it. I didn’t think it was that bad. I would guess that it’s pretty popular among the younger teenage girl crowd. It was a little funny at times and had some good life lessons in it. The main character, Missy Peregrym, is ridiculously in shape. She really reminds me of a younger Hilary Swank.
