The often too-intense world of competitive gymnastics is the focus of this made-for-television movie. Courtney Peldon stars as Katie Bryant, an aspiring young gymnast who is willing do whatever it takes to make it to the top of her sport -- including suffering verbal abuse from her demanding coach, competing while injured, and intense dieting. Swoosie Kurtz stars as her mother Allison, who at first agrees to the rigorous training, but later realizes the dangers of her daughter's environment. Mom Allison removes Katie from her strict coaching program and helps her find training with a more positive approach.
It is like flying. I used to be a gymnast and the uneven bars were and still are my favorite event. The feel of letting go of the bar and flying through the air was absolutely amazing.
Gosh... Haven't seen this one in years! I basically started gymnastics because of this movie :)
This movie is based on a NONFICTION book written by Sports writer Joan Ryan. Therefore they did do their research. The book recounts the lives of over 100 different athletes. They adapted that book into a made for television movie recounting the many different stories through one main character.
Just spent 15 mins surfing the net for this movie to find it on YT LOL THANK YOU!
That's funny, the guy playing Greg Bradgin plays a Romanian gymnastics coach on a Law and Order episode
what an odd thing to be typecast
yah!! this version of somewhere over the rainbow is the best ever!!! i love the beginning..with that music..simply awesome!
I miss gymnastics so much! I only made it to level 7, but it was so much fun.
OK, I can't believe i'm looking at this!!! i mean... I saw this movie like... 5 million years ago, I can barely remember what happened on it, but thanks so much for posting this, really!!!
Holy shit flipping in the dark?!
This seems almost identical to the film "Perfect Body" with Amy Jo Johnson?!
This movie is based on a book about the world of competitive gymnastics and figure skating
My absolutely favorite!
Forgot about this movie. Love it.
If i was doing beam over concrete at my house and my coach found out I would be killed.
Why is it that in all these gymnastics and figure skating movies they always have spotlights? That's def. not accurate. We don't use those.
ost324 as a figure skater you’re so right! The only time we’re under spotlights is for shows and specifically showcase competitions!
Because it's a film and it's for the effect.
To make it more dramatic and for the ambient.
love this movie since it came out
Thanks for uploading this movie.
so miss gymnastics
thannks so much for adding this video, this movie was one of my fav childhood movies, been trying to find the name of it for years!
cheers
Amen. Make it or break it has a problem with that concept too.
240p we meet again...
Wait til you watch this in 2021.
great movie!! loved this growing up
i miss gymnastics so much...i cant beleive eveything was ruined...
I totally forgot about this movie i remember watching back in the day
I remember this movie
Ive wanted to see this for ages. thanks
Love this movie
This movie does not only apply to gymnasts and figure skaters, but also tennis players, soccer players, and, most recently, race car drivers and martial artists. The other side of young females in sports.
Males, too, sometimes...
She did the stunts in the movie!
i have the piano music in the beginning of the film, like the way beginning when the mom was on teh balance beam. i found that song a few years back but i forget the name of it. so i called it ballet because it reminds me of ballet music :) if you guys want to i can post it, but i'll have to call it ballet until i find the name :)
love this movies haven't see it in ages!!!
"Does this mean I can watch television during the week?" lolol omg
Thanks for putting on, I have not seen this one, in literally years) all they put on is junk lately and it is such an inportant message to everyone.
i never understood where athletes with eating disorders could have the energy to perform so well.
Is there a better version of this movie? This is the only one i found now
Nope, no remakes and this was done back in the Dark Ages.
This is just like the movie Perfect Body....
is it a good movie I started to watch but I stop to look at this one
I was just going to comment that. This is all memory lane for me, I remember watching these as a teenager when they first came on t.v. They both came out in '97 when I was 15. Yes, I'm getting old,😂
It's actually based on a book
U R right.. it does look like flying. At least until you miss the bar and then it looks like GRAVITY's revenge.
I like this movie.. they need to release it on DVD.
the girl coach is awesome!
i wish i could do gymnastics they look so cool!
I really like this movie. I wish i had in better quality
Well, Swoozie, if you're the QUEEN of the ATHLETICALLY CHALLENGED, I'm the princess or at least next in line to the throne of ATHLETICALLY CHALLENGED ROYALTY. :D The girl's dad was in a lot of stupid movies. (King Kong Lives) It's NICE to see him in a normal flic.
I've been wanting to see this too. Thanks for putting it up!
god movie so far..thanks....
I believe they were both released in 1997.. funny how similar they are tho, but both great movies, great actresses.
its by Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole... its on the finding forrester soundtrack if ur looking for it
I just watched that, it was good.
Alguien la podria poner en español latino saludos
At this point this movie is very similar to "Perfect body". A curious fact is both movies were released the same year and the plot is very similar: young Elite gymnasts trying to get to the Olympics and developing an ED in the process.
She wasn't competing. She was just performing, since she was the champion! If you listen right after she finishes, the announcer welcomes everyone to the finals!
the problem with eating disorders is that you actually will loose the muscles weight, and become weak, no matter how much you'll train. a good athlete should know how to eat and train propertly
@rachelandjolanda yes. Jamie dantzscher also stunt doubled for this movie
Shame there aren't more coaches lilt the first one in national gymnastics
This is a pretty movie about the elite gymnastics....the dangerous gymnastics could be
sounds like Jason Castro's Banjo version of Somewhere over the rainbow....
Well, some of it might be for drama and atmosphere and capturing the right effect, and I bet a lot of it is just for the sake of it looking right and good on film. I did a little bit of stage lighting in college, and it's mind-boggling sometimes what one light can do.
@GenieandHammie I always thought it was a mat otherwise she probably would've broken something when she landed her dismount
This is my favorite movie!!!!
I was really good at gymnastics and swimming, but I hated swimming and then started gymnastics class and it took all the fun out of it, so I stopped. Then got to secondary school and hated sports......... I am surprised that half these girls can stick with it. I watched elena mukina she was as miserable as I was and I was only a level 6.
@Kaceyjane123 same i also never understood how they still had the muscles to perform....
It's a real great film, I really like watching it.
Does somebody know if the music they play in the scene before Katie and her family enters Greg's hall? It sounds that good and I'd really like to know if the music is from a song or if there's s soundrack or a way just to download the music~
ever seen "Wizard Of Oz", thats where the song come from, and then it was remade like 3different times by other singers
whats the movie about??i know a gymnast but is it about a movie of a gymnast with an eating disorder or is there more to it then that?
This is just about the same as the movie perfect body..Just names have been changed.
No its based on lots of gymnast accounts and this was filmed and released 9 months before perfect body
its called 'over the rainbow/what a wonderful world'
Is she gonna narrate this the Whole Time?! PLEASE NO!
THE BOOK WAS SO GOOD!
what happens in this exsactly??? can anyone give me a quick overview of the plot or sumthing??
Thankyouuuu
thanks zinikas!!
First of all, it's a movie, movies are fake (just like tv, ever seen Make It Or Break It?xD) Second, this was made in 1997, when both filmmaking and gymnastics weren't as evolved as they are now. I started doing gymnastics when I was 5, and when I was 12 (2002) I had surgery on my hip. Before surgery I was training at level A (most difficult). Afterwards it took me 6 years to learn everything over again, and by that time those same skills had dropped to level C or even D. Times change.
Perhaps but this movie is not too brutally harsh. The book was. And vanessa Adler left the sport with a rather negative experience. But the rest of the cast are gymnasts too. Including the deaf girl. She is actually blind in one eye too. But an incredible gymnast. She trained with Jamie Dazinger (sp?)
you're not supposed to have lyrics in your floor music
2:56 does anyone know this song?
@kemiallisetystavat I think it was just a showcase performance.
the mom was in bubble boy
part 7, 8 and 9 is now available
@kemiallisetystavat The gymnast using it was not actually competing at the time she was using it.
I love Ice Princess! She's so gorgeous!
thanks...part 7 coming soon?
that was one of the shortest bar routines I've ever seen...
@ Peachypea23 - lol, yeah, his name is Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. :-D
@kemiallisetystavat i guess it depends. we used to dance to green acres haha
that's the movie "Perfect Body"
Yes
she's d granmum of serena in gossip girl now i think.
anyone know where i can get this movie on DVD?
UGH!!
I'm 30 and I could TOTALLY execute that balance beam and I'm 180 lbs @ 5'8..mostly muscle..
@rachezee foryears ive watched this film and always i suspected it was her!
....it's the dad from "Some Kind of Wonderful"..hmmmm..cool..he kinda reminds me of my uncle
It won't load.
What happened?
Is this coach like Bobby Knight?
How can I see this movie?
Does anyone know the name of the song playing at 4.30?
i think i tryed to read when i was a bit younger but someone or it mentions that someone could hador has a really bad accident and i think it kinder scared me so i didnt want to read it lol
Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole
It is Vanessa Adler doing the gymnastic stunts for Katie
No TV during the week?? Screw that noise!!!!!
Wasn't Vanessa Atler her stunt double?
@Kaceyjane123 no kidding, when I don't eat enough I don't have the energy to exercise half the time.
whats the name of the song at 04:21 ?
I think it's ironic that this movie is talking about the evils of gymnastics and the stunt double, Vanessa Atler, ended up being a victim of USA Gymnastics and bad coaches and a demanding press and the pressure to be perfect.
trashywilma that was very ironic but I am coached by Vanessa right now in gymnastics and her experience has helped her with coaching and helped her over come many other things
