DVD: Stick it

From the writer of Bring it on, come the hilarious Stick, a story about the side of Gymnastics, or what the cover of the DVD says, Gym-nice-tics. I really liked Bring It On, the first one, I thought it was very original at the time of its release, it was very funny and i thought it had some good actors and actress who played the parts. Stick it was what I thought a great film all together. It had be laughing, most of the humor would be understood to the younger crowd much of what Stick It is aged towards, A Teenage Based. Don't get me wrong I think many others would like this film, its quirky, fun, and very entertaining.

Stick It is a story about Gymnastic and a journey of a young lady named Haley Graham( Missy Peregrym) who enters the world of gymnastics, as she meets those who really aren't fond of her for example Joanne Charis(Vanessa Lengies), and her really stricked coach Burt Vickerman( Jeff Bridges). Together Haley and her teammate show the world of Gymnastics who is the boss as they conquer the competition.

Most of the Actors or Actress are relatively new to the big screen, except the Jeff Bridges who is the most in my opinion a very underrated acting in movie today. A couple of the actresses who play aside the main character are brand new to the screen except for Vanessa Lengies who you might know from Waiting as she plays, Natasha, in the movie with Ryan Renolds. I must say she was one of my favorite character in this movie on how she really wasn't that smart and she would make idiotic come backs for example when she thought a G.E.D. had to do with Drunk Driving, I was laughing pretty hard. Overall I thought the acting in the film was quite good, everyone did a great job.

The story aspect of Stick was to me very original mostly because its not like most of the films out either on DVD or in the theaters now and later. Mostly because most of the films that come out now are stuck in being much like the other one before that. Like when I going to a movie I want to see something where I can't say what the ending is because its like all other type of films that are still in the theaters today. Stick It is all I can say is a very Original story, the Dialogue was good, the actors did a good job, the direction was great what else could you want in a film. Not that much.

The film is an entertaining, fun film I don't have really anything bad to say about this one the story really explained everything quite good the characters were widely developed, what else could you ask for. Stick It is a great family film. I think this one is a defiantly watch.
