Als die Turnerin Hope Annabelle Greggory 2004 die olympische Bronzemedaille für ihr Team gewinnt, wird sie eine Heldin für die amerikanische Bevölkerung. Seit diesem Tag lebt die ehemalige Leistungssportlerin in der Vergangenheit und fristet ihr Dasein im Keller ihres Vaters Stan. In ihrer kleinen Heimatstadt ist sie trotzdem noch immer bekannt wie ein bunter Hund. Um ihr täglich Brot zu verdienen, streift sich Hope ihren Turnanzug über und posiert in einem örtlichen Einkaufszentrum für kleines Geld. Doch als ein aussichtsreiches junges Turntalent auf sich aufmerksam macht, ist Hopes eh schon zweifelhafter Prominentenstatus in Gefahr. Noch dazu soll ausgerechnet sie die talentierte Maggie unter ihre Fittiche nehmen und ihr als Trainerin zu großem Erfolg verhelfen...

Was actually a pretty funny movie. Lots of dirty jokes so you gotta be okay with that but yeah, I did actually enjoy this movie and don't get why so many people gave it such a low rating.
I thought this movie was pretty great. And even touching by the end of it. I'll admit it started and I was like, oh no, this is going to be an hour and a half of the lead being super terrible to everyone. Not that that can't be funny, it works in movies like Observe & Report, they just tend to stress me out. But the awfulness settles in and it works. Plus...that sex scene is damn, damn funny. Melissa Rauch is hilarious and I want to see her in more stuff. This almost makes me want to watch The Big Bang Theory. Almost. Sorry, don't mean to burn BBT. Just not my style. The ending was fresh, too. Not by the books at all, but not in a way that you go, wait what?! That can't happen, etc.....Also, the lead Olympic dude, I looked him up and realized he's Bucky! He looks way different without the long hair, scruff and eternal moping. Doesn't he look like that guy from Baywatch? David Charvet? I kept looking at him going no way it's that guy from Baywatch. He's older than this dude. Anyway, great movie. Super underrated performance in theaters, hope it finds an audience on video.
Gymnastics movies are awful. Fact. Thankfully this breaks the trend. Its wickedly funny and this is largely thanks to Rauch who relishes the character she plays. A hidden gem.
Only watched for Sebastian Stan, he's always good in the role of the hot asshole
