"Double dutch jump is a cruel mistress"
seanster7 March 2002
Thus spake one of the coaches in this film. This documentary is about double dutch jump. I suppose everyone else has a sport why not schoolgirls or wannabe schoolgirls. From some paralell dimension come these jumping, bumping, pumping, switching, atheletes. Yes. Athletes. The statement "There are no good double dutch jump movies" is no longer true. Compelling viewing for any athlete who ever started at the bottom and rose steadily to the middle only to be crushed at the moment of truth.

I found the fact that an all boy team could crush a girl team in competition hard to accept. After all, the girls can kick and scratch and taunt, or seduce, infiltrate, and twist the boys to their advantage. Raised many questions, many more answers, certainly heaps of critique. A unique portrait inside a riddle wrapped in a rainbow colored jump-rope.
