Just watched "Stick It" - Page 2

I was pretty biased against this movie when it came out. Not only because it was from the same people as Bring It On but because, I'm a guy. I was far more interested in a Peaceful Warrior at the time. Not that I could probably get any of my gymnasts to watch that.

My dad being the big gymnastics fan actually saw it when it was in the theatres. I was supposed to see it with our compulsories but that event fell through ( which I was somewhat glad it did ). My dad, though a guy, was a former gymnast in the bronze age, and has always loved watching men's and women's gymnastics ( which I lamented as a kid on Saturday mornings - cartoons! )

However, I did watch it a few months ago; and I'll have to admit I enjoyed it. That gave my roomates a few weird looks at me. Rather fun and it had a better plot and storyline than I gave it credit for ( as in actually having a purpose but maybe I'm just biased against Bring It On and cheer ).

In it, where some good points that thinking from the POV of my girls, made me think it was really worthwhile to watch.

Peaceful Warrior is amazing! The book is even better. I read the sequel as well as the prequel. The prequel is "The Journeys of Socrates" and tell all about the life of Dan's teacher, from his birth until he ends up at the service station. It was one of the best books I've ever read.

My dd (L-6, age 12) LOVES the movie and so do I. Her brother next to her, has seen it and enjoys watching the tricks. Maybe Friday night is a good time for Movie night, pizza, rootbeer floats and "Stick It"!

Itunes, m'dear! $9.99 I love the "Who died and made you Nadia?" line.

I took my daughter too see "Stick it" when it was released, then she got the movie when a it was released. Her copy is worn out already from watching it so much. She likes to watch Nastia's individual routines in the credits. It was well worth the money. I gave the movie a 10!

My daughter and her teammates seem to watch "Stick It" before nearly every meet, especially the ones that require a road trip. I have to admit it is a guilty pleasure of mine as well. It also inspires me to work out! My only complaint about the movies is that for quite a while after it came out, a lot of the girls were doing the Haley rocker salute at awards rather than their usual. I really wanted to tell them how "old school" that is and that their parents probably did that at concerts back in the day!
