The Top 5 Greatest Moments From Stick It, the Iconic Gymnastics Film We'd Give a Perfect 10

At an invitational competition, Haley is overwhelmed by emotion during her beam routine. She falls and gets through the rest of her routine (a watered down version) amid tears — as Frank (Kellan Lutz) says, "You tanked like a rock star." Prior to her performance, she finds out that her dad (Jon Gries) is presumably paying off Burt Vickerman (Jeff Bridges) to let her go to VGA. To top it all off, her mom (Gia Carides) selfishly asks her to return to training with Chris DeFrank (John Kapelos), Haley's former coach who essentially split her family up when he had an affair with her mom.

It is a defining moment in the movie where we see Haley's past come flooding back and challenge her dedication to the sport. It's when we find out why she really quit gymnastics in the first place and walked out on the World Championships two years prior. Seeing stoic and headstrong Haley with tear-stained cheeks has always stuck with me as a reminder that you never really know what people are going through. Watch that routine here.

When Haley firsts arrives at VGA, she joins the vault rotation with the other elite gymnasts and performs her classic "butt-ahara." "You mean a Tsukahara?" Mina (Maddy Curley) asks, to which Haley replies, "No. I mean a 'butt-ahara'" and proceeds to do some extremely weird stretches before running (if you can even call it that) down the vault runway like a bird with floppy wings. She then jumps on the springboard and sits on the vault. It's hilarious, and the drumroll in the background makes it even better. It's the perfect example of Haley no-f*cks attitude. Watch it play out here.

Joanne is the antagonist at first but quickly turns into a girl we root for. This slide is dedicated to a compilation of moments where she gives hilarious comebacks or witty comments that I — and other Stick It fans, I'm sure — have memorized. Here are some of the best ones:

• "It's not called gym-nice-tics."
• "Dogs are people too, Haley."
• "I have a constitutional right to bear arms." (While flexing.)
• "Mina, put down the phone!"
• "Think about your weenus!"
• "She should get at least two tenths deducted for that hair."

My absolute favourite routine from Nationals, and, in my opinion, the best scene from the film, is Wei Wei's (Nikki SooHoo) beam routine. The gymnasts — except for Tricia (Tarah Paige) — all scratch so that Wei Wei can medal on the event. She wows everyone by showcasing a hip-hop routine with head spins and awesome dance moves (even the worm!) set to Come Baby Come by K7. It's so not what elite gymnastics routines are like in real life, and I think about it at least once a week even now. Watch the routine here.
