I Rewatched ‘Stick It’ As An Adult And I Want Poot To Be My Boyfriend

Nostalgia hits different in December

I used to go to Video Ezy every Friday night and rent out three movies for the weekend. They had a combo: one new release and two old releases.

And week after week, month after month, year after year, there was one movie I would always add to that deal: Stick It.

For those who haven’t seen 2006 movie Stick It, here’s the rundown: it follows Haley, a former gymnastics champion who has to return to the competitive world of gymnastics that she left behind after a few too many run-ins with the law.

A judge gives Haley and her family an ultimatum: go to Burt Vickerman’s Gymnastic Academy, or juvie.

Stick It is a cinematic masterpiece from the same writer as Bring It On, and I treasure every moment I’ve spent watching, writing about, and worshipping this movie.

Was it weird that my family realised my sexuality before I did? Probably not.

There’s only so many times you can watch a tween gawking over Missy Peregrym in an ice bath before you figure out she may play for both teams.
