About this movie

Meet McKenna Brooks, a determined and confident young gymnast, in this all-new, modern-day adventure. McKenna is on track to make the regional competitive gymnastics team, but off track in school, where she's suddenly struggling to keep up. When her teacher suggests a tutor, she's embarrassed and desperate to keep it a secret from her friends. Then a bad fall at the gym sidetracks her from her favorite sport. Will she recover in time to make the team? Can she succeed in school, too? McKenna needs to focus on her strengths to overcome her challenges—and, with the help of family and friends, find a way to believe in herself again. Starring Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Ian Ziering (TV's "Beverly Hills, 90210"), and gymnastics champion Cathy Rigby, this heart-warming story will have the whole family cheering!

Ratings and reviews

We just bought a cheap Android TV box (much better than I ever expected it would be) and this was the first video we streamed. Our 6 year old daughter loves gym and she chose this one. Our 3 girls (11 to 6) watched enthralled - the experiences in school and challenges faced by McKenna were things which they could relate to. Our 6 yr old loved the gym scenes which were very reminiscent of her experiences. I think it would appeal most to girls in 6-13 age range.

Dont give up but try and try if I where u I wouldn't stop trying
