Review of Full Out

Full Out (2015)
4/10
Appropriate for tweens looking for a feel good movie
5 May 2020
The plot feels one dimensional and strained, and the acting reeks of Degrassi. Many scenes feel predictable like your classic emotional Lifetime film with a heavy layer of upbeat inspo-music. The writing had so much potential, such as the main character's coming to terms that her dream has ended, her best friend contenting with a demanding and abusive coach/father. Unfortunately, none of it felt realistic on-screen. As much as the actors try to convey the emotion of the pressures that come with gymnastics, it falls flat. It's not a biographical film as much as a preteen feel-happy movie with some famous gymnastics names thrown in. Perfect for a midnight sleepover entertainment to pass the time, especially if you recognize some of the Degrassi alums in the cast.
