Chalk It Up (2016)
3/10
An unfunny comedy
1 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is about a girl starting a gymnastics team in order to win her boyfriend back. But with time she learns some valuable lessons on how she should not be obsessed with guys, find her talents and stick with friends.

Such "educational" movies are super predictable. Which usually doesn't bother me if the movie is still made well and I get to laugh a lot. But I didn't laugh once during the movie.

The fact that it isn't realistic doesn't bother me, after all it is a movie. My only issue was with Cali getting into CIA training because she cried. Like, really? And the acting was irritating. I won't say the actors have no talent, it seems to be the movie's style, but if they have talent it sure isn't noticeable in this movie.

Yeah the point of the movie is a good one. Yet there are thousands of movies spreading the same message that are much better done. And this kind of movies are for kids. Yet I am not sure how many kids will like to watch movies about "old people".

The point I gave are mainly for gymnastics scenes which were pretty great.
