I don't know if it's because I'm a gymnast or not but this movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everything from the camera angles, the editing and the soundtrack to the acting, the dialog and the actual gymnastics was off point and rather poorly done. The combination of the camera angles, soundtrack and editing gave the movie a high school media project feel and the acting wasn't as poorly done as the script which I blame entirely for the bad performances of the actors. I do blame the actors for not getting into the part, however. It was painfully obvious throughout the entire movie that the actors had no idea what they were doing in relation to gymnastics barely learning how to do a basic handstand and speaking in laughably fake accents. Instead, resorting to weird camera angles which barely showed some of the talented and beautiful sport that is gymnastics. Very disappointed.
