The story of a has-been crass and spoiled Olympic bronze medal gymnastic reluctantly turned coach, which along the way finds her way again.
The plot is robust enough, though the idea that an Olympic medalist would become so spoiled and undisciplined seems a little weird to me. A nice cast, unusual subject matter and interesting characters all could have made for a good comedy. Unfortunately- this movie lacks the most important trait a comedy should have; it isn't funny. There are very little to no jokes, and the crass foul manners of the lead role become uninteresting very fast.
Without being funny, the movie is left to it's bare devices. Fortunately most of the other aspects of the movie are not that bad- the acting is decent, the plot holds, the script is event filled and interesting enough to hold the viewers attention for the duration of the film, cinematography is good, and even in a specific moment (final exercise)- inspired. It's just such a shame the movie isn't funny... because all of the other elements combined only make for a very mediocre film, which I expect to completely forget by next week.
