About this movie

A decade ago, Hope Ann Greggory (Melissa Rauch) was America's sweetheart. Her inspired performance on a ruptured achilles at the world's most prestigious gymnastics tournament clinched an unlikely bronze medal for the U.S. team and brought glory to her hometown of Amherst, Ohio. But in the years since that epic third place victory, Hope hasn't done a whole lot with her life. Still living in her dad Stan's (Gary Cole) basement, still sporting her daily uniform of a Team USA gym suit with teeny-bopper bangs, ponytail and scrunchie, she spends her days at the mall milking her minor celebrity for free food and favors. Hope's routine is upended when she learns that she must coach Amherst's newest gymnastics prodigy Maggie (Haley Lu Richardson) in order to receive a sizeable financial inheritance. The hard-edged yet insecure Hope is faced with a serious dilemma: does she jeopardize her "hometown hero" status by devotedly training this rising star to achieve the dreams she never could? Or does she attempt to sabotage the impressionable Maggie to ensure that she remains the one and only star in Amherst?

I, personally, really liked it. I had no idea what to expect (especially the beginning lmfao) even though I had read up a little bit about it before hand. It's a funny movie, if your into dry comedy and your fine with plenty of expletives. I reccomend watching! Oh and yes, quite the interesting sex scene lmao.

Well a bit basic on the plot and over kill on the f-word. BUT an original sex scene to say the least. I thought ok for a movie night, so little to rent these day. Would probably never watch again.
