ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

TinorialPeredhil The entire point of this movie was to show how desperate girls can be to reach their dreams, how they think that they're helping themselves, and how they ultimately crush those dreams all on their own. The gymnastics may not have been realistic -- I'm not going to pretend that those girls were ready to compete in Beijing -- but I really liked the eating disorder part. We followed Andie and we saw how she got to be that bad. We went on her journey, felt her fears, understood her mindset. I also don't think that she cleared up her problems in the end. She says that it is going to take a while; we just don't *see* it taking a while because movies are short. I thought that this was a good portrayal and an eye-opener. It is definitely worth viewing, maybe more than once. Is it anything that teenage girls these days don't hear? Maybe not. It could very well go in one ear and out the other, but it's worth a shot.

hayley-erica If I may say... the summary given of this movie is misleading. They insinuate that Andie suffers from bulimia, by stating she finds a way around it by eating what she wants and not gaining weight. Andie suffers from anorexia, and only has bulimic tendencies when forced to eat. Very well plotted movie. It struck a chord with me as it was filmed partially in my home city, and also, Andies original gymnastic colors of pink and purple are IDENTICAl to the uniforms that my best friend sported when she was a gymnast. Its almost like they borrowed her team as extras! This movie really portrays the pain, and the artificial joy that comes with an eating disorder. People think eating disorders are glamorous, but its a curse. Its a disease and it causes the sufferer to isolate themselves from loved ones, as this movie well shows.

Vickie Phillips I have seen this film many times, and it still upsets me the thought that people have to lose so much weight, just to be accepted into society. I think Hollywood need to make more films about young people with anorexia/bulimia to maybe help the millions of young people in the world with these illnesses. It is a brilliant film, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Maxi-14 I almost passed this movie as some fluff from a Power Ranger. What a mistake that would have been. Amy Jo Johnson turned in a powerful performance as a young woman so caught up in chasing perfection that she will sacrifice anything to get it. This film was a powerful statement about the pressure that is put on young athletes by themselves and others. This isn't a fluff piece and it will make you think but it's still entertaining. It's worth catching on TV.
