I was always a gymnastics fan and I absolutely loved watching this movie over and over when I was a child. This movie needs to be available on DVD.

So If you are looking for a well acted movie and in depth story you are looking at the wrong film. If you are looking for the best movie about the world of gymnastics....this is the best film I've ever seen to date. Mitch Gaylord did win the gold medal in the 1984 Olympics for gymnastics, that is the main reason the gymnastics scenes are so great, along with the other gymnasts in the film. The soundtrack rocks of 80's tunes that stick to the feel of the film, like Footloose, Top Gun, St Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, and the way most of the soundtracks of the 80's stick with the feel of the films they represent. The best part of the film is the gymnastics routines. The worse is the acting and the storyline. But if you were looking for the great gymnastics film Stick It was supposed to be, the see this. It is true eye candy for the gymnastics fan.

I was never into gymnastics but when I caught this movie on cable, I fell in love with the movie. One of the songs just kept on playing in my head. It was a typical 80's song...a power ballard. It was called Two Hearts.
It was funny to mention that the actor who plays Steve Tevere's (Mitch Gaylord) father plays the father of Uncle Jesse on Full House. Along with Mrs. Wayne Gretzsky and the Soviet coach from Rocky IV who interestingly plays the American coach for the local gymnastics team.
The movie had some great twists and turns that led up to the ultimate ending. I won't give away the ending but it was really nice to see Steve's dad show up and give "the smile. " With Steve's breakdowns and his fights with his father and inner self, this movie really shows perseverance (sorry that I butchered the word), dedication, forgiveness, and the old if you dont succeed, try try again. Great Movie!
