Plot: Haley Graham 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 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.

Review: I saw the trailer for this movie and just figured it was another chick flick. There is nothing really special about this movie, but it’s not bad. This is basically a rehash of Bring it On with gymnastics. The story and acting is pretty average. There are some funny moments, but is mostly just one of those movies you see, like or dislike, and then move on like it never happened. I thought it was decent, but will probably never see it again.
