A cocky teenager learns some important lessons about playing by her own rules in this
comedy drama.
Haley Graham (
Missy Peregrym) is a gifted 17-year-old gymnast with a strong rebellious streak -- strong enough that she walked away from her teammates on the eve of a major international tournament because she'd had enough of the rigid regimentation of Team U.S.A. After experiencing a scrape with the law with her extreme-cycling friends,
Haley is given an unusual sentence -- attending the Vickerman Gymnastics Academy, a world-class training facility run by
Burt Vickerman (
Jeff Bridges), who has led some of the world's greatest gymnasts to championship status.
Haley makes no secret of her dislike of life at Vickerman's, and her fellow athletes aren't about to forgive her just yet for letting down her teammates. But while
Vickerman makes clear things are to be done his way, he respects
Haley's talent, and together she shows him and her new teammates how to follow the rules while still expressing your individuality. Also starring
Tarah Paige and
Vanessa Lengies,
Stick It was the first directorial credit for
Jessica Bendinger, who wrote the critically praised
teen comedy Bring It On.
