Robin Crew (Olivia d'Abo) is a high school student who used to be a champion gymnast until she suffered a knee injury in the car accident which killed her father. She continues to train on her own and makes her school's gymnastics team, despite outside pressures from her step-father and the other gymnasts. Robin does, however, receive support from her mother and her new boyfriend (Keanu Reeves), as the crucial gymnastics meet approaches. This movie tries really hard to be Dirty Dancing or Flashdance and gets it all wrong in a way that is so right. Young Keanu Reeves. 80s tropes. 80s music. A bobo Tilda Swinton gymnastics coach with a mullet. Dead parents. Terrible writing. Lots and lots of things that make no sense. A highly enjoyable 90 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrabbRouYyU

It seems strange in the movie that they're making such a big deal about the concert at the end of the movie since the Spice Girls are already super famous. But in real life, the Spice Girls almost never did concerts, they only performed on TV. They only toured one time and it wasn't until after their second album came out. So when they made this movie they really HAD never performed a large concert, even in their home city, which seems so weird. Could they have been that bad live?
