Although Stick It does benefit from Jeff Bridges' expectedly superb performance, there's simply no getting around the tremendous amount of cliche and sentiment that's been hard-wired into the proceedings by writer/director Jessica Bendinger. Missy Peregrym stars as Haley Graham, a rebellious teen who's forced to participate in a gymnastics program after causing thousands of dollars worth of damage during a bicycle stunt. Conflict ensues after Haley comes face-to-face with several athletes from her past, all of whom are still upset over her decision to walk out on the Junior Olympics. While there's little doubt that teenaged girls will thrill to Haley's anti-establishment antics, Bendinger generally fails to include elements within her screenplay for viewers over a certain age (Bridges' presence notwithstanding)。 There's a surfeit of eye-rollingly silly plot twists peppered throughout the film, and the level of predictability only increases as the story progresses (this is particularly true of the conventional, thoroughly upbeat conclusion)。 If nothing else, however, Stick It does feature a surprisingly effective performance from Peregrym - who surely deserves better material than this (sample line of dialogue: "I'm so sure I'm practically deodorant!")
