Musings

Stick It (2006) is a movie by the director of Bring It On and I must say, I reallly, really enjoyed this movie. And I watch a lot of movies. I was laughing my butt off, and the humor was just up my alley. Silly, yet delivered completely irreverently (by lead character “Haley”) or at times totally deadpan (by the uber-hilarious Vanessa Lengies, playing “Joanne”). Great music, great plot (though nothing totally surprising, one must admit, but come on–did you expect the same thing from Bring It On?) and great acting. Jeff Bridges is in this one as Coach Vickerman, and he does a great job. Each girl except for one had a stunt double, and many nationally and internationally medaled gymnasts either doubled for girls or performed in the background (with the exception of Maddy, who acted AND performed). All in all a great movie, definitely one I’m buying. Worth your time.
