A wonderful movie! The plot centers on a young outcast who is attempting to find himself. Mitch Gaylord gives this superb performance as he shows us a glimpse of the duality of man. On the one hand, he is a tough, street-smart kid ready to follow in the footsteps of his father and work with power tools and wear wife-beater shirts. On the other hand, he is a feminine gymnast who wears tights and does cartwheels. In the end he learns that he does not have to sacrifice one aspect of himself in order to fulfill the other. I also thought the sideplot with Janet Jones and the kid from Mask was nice. That boy has the moves of Fred Astaire and James Brown!

I have watched this movie so many times I know the words by heart. Mitch Gaylord and Janet Jones are really good actors. It is one of the best portrayals of modern gymnastics -- showing the intense training modern gymnasts go through to be the best, how relationships work in and outside of the gym, and the transfer to younger athletes within the sport. It is a must for any gymnastics fan! And for those not so interested in the sport it has a great story of overcoming the odds in it too. This is a movie no one should miss!

This is one example of a movie that should be on DVD and unfortunately it is not.

I saw this movie when I was a teenager, my best friend and I recommended it to everyone, we even bought the soundtrack, as the music is Excellent. The Storyline, Gymnastics and Romance combine to make a movie which you will want to watch over and over again. If you haven't seen this movie, even though now fairly old, see it, it will be well worth it.

I have always loved this movie since i was a child and when i found it @ amazon i bought it straight away. I find Janet Jones Story in the movie much more interesting and it's what i focus on when i watch it. I also Love alot of the songs in this film too. I wish they had of making a second movie but all in all i love this film and i never get bored of it.
