SnoopyStyle In 2004, Hope Ann Greggory overcomes an injury to earn an Olympic Bronze medal and becomes the national hero of the Games. In the present, she (Melissa Rauch) is a foul-mouthed, mail-stealing, pill-snorting mess living off of her past glory with her widower mailman father Stan (Gary Cole) as the biggest name in her hometown of Amherst, Ohio. When her former coach dies, she receives the suicide letter promising an inheritance of $500k if she takes over coaching Maggie Townsend (Haley Lu Richardson) to the upcoming Olympics in Toronto. Ben Lawfort (Thomas Middleditch) co-owns the gym with the late coach who Hope derisively calls Twitchy for his facial ticks. Maggie has a struggling single mom Janice (Cecily Strong). Lance Tucker (Sebastian Stan) is the national coach who has a history with Hope.This is a dark comedy that needs a few rewrites to clean up the character's emotional journey. The outline is fine and Hope is a good dark character. I like all the actors. There is some good material here but the humor is not up to snuff. Melissa plays the one-note well. Haley is cute and has good chemistry with Melissa. Thomas Middleditch is a doll and the romance is cute. This is fine but it needs to be sharper.

Ding Not quite useful, just personal opinion.Good movie. In this movie I saw an American who loves her town deeply, a girl who finally wakes up and a woman who grows up.I have watched the movie for extra three times, not for the sex scenes (maybe), but to find out who is Bradley. :)

er_ouz 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.

steeledanton I knew i wanted to see this film the minute i saw the previews. Like the title states, this is a pretty low budget film which is very similar to two Jon Heder films we've already seen, Napolean Dynamite and Blades of Glory. BUT this is very raunchy. I hadn't seen nor heard bad language like this since Hot tub Time Machine 2. But the film is fun to watch, and we see the dehabilitating effects drugs has on individuals.So as the story goes, there is a gymnast who had competed in the Olympics...not the 2002 Salt lake City ones, but 2004 if I remember correctly. This girl, the gymnast ends up winning a Bronze medal..hence what the title of this film is. Well, her coach dies and influences her in a letter to take the protégé that she had been training onto and into a compettitive level as good as she herself had once been.And thats where the film becomes even more interesting, not to mention that some of the stars are virtual unknowns...one of the top billings is an actor that stars in HBO's Silicon Valley.
