Pretty horrible
10 December 2001
An ex-gymnast (Mitch Gaylord) with severe family problems, meets another up and coming gymnast (Janet Jones), falls in love and (of course) becomes a gymnast again and goes for the gold...or something like that. I was so bored it's hard to remember.

Boring, utterly predictable story with lousy dialogue. Also Gaylord and Jones are absolutely horrible actors...both are beautiful with great bodies but that's it. This isn't really a movie...it plays like a series of (bad) rock videos string together with a flimsy plot. There's almost nonstop music throughout the movie. No characters, no motivations, no nothing...just music.

A few things save this from total disaster--Some of the music is good and compliments the visuals nicely; the movie looks good (in a rock video sort of way); there are plenty of nice shots showing Gaylord in nothing but black shorts and the gymnastics are truly incredible. That's about it.

Also this is the first movie to make it from theaters to video stores in three months! It bombed so badly the studio rushed it out to video quickly to get rid of it.
