It seems some, or rather many, reviewers here have not quite understood the meaning of the movie, and misjudged its tone.
I almost did not watch it because of the bad reviews, actually.
But I'm glad I did!
This movie is about a gymnast stuck in her past, having become mean, bitter and hopeless (pun intended).
After her old coach kills herself, she embarks on a journey back to herself, coaching a promising young gymnast.
Melissa Rauch is great, and so are all the other actors. If you expect crazy stuff, go watch "Blades of Glory" instead.
This is an earnest film despite some hilarious moments (yes, the sex scene, for example, probably the weirdest in film history).
It is not mean-spirited at all. It's just portraying someone who has forgotten how to be a nice person.
It won't win gold, but it's a solid Bronze (7/10) and a memorable watch.
