This R-rated low budget film is absolutely not recommended for kids. The majority of adults will find it disappointing, as well.
I did like Katherine Grable as the stunt double. But that’s about it.

Pretty silly, actually. And not nearly as much Gymnastics as I had hoped.
This film is fun for young female gymnasts. It’s family friendly. But adults may find it juvenile.
Some of the cinematography is well done. The movie was shot in 12 days yet production values are impressive. With very little funding this project was clearly a labour of love.
Congratulations to Maddy Curley and the rest of the team for putting it together. Big shout out for International Gymnastics Camp for providing the Gym.
Ariana Berlin’s comeback story was made for Hollywood: Nearly-fatal car accident ends a young girl’s Olympic gymnastics aspirations. Girl turns to dance but does not give up her other dream of competing for the UCLA Gymnastics team. Girl gets an opportunity to make the team at UCLA and ends up becoming an All-American.
This wasn’t an inspirational movie plot, though; this was real life. …
Sadly Director Sean Cisterna did not bother keeping the Gymnastics accurate. With very little extra cost they could have made the film far more realistic. Wrong Gymnastics will turn off a number of gymnasts and fans. 😦
