SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

MJB784 I just saw an extremely unpleasant "comedy": The Bronze. It's about this Bronze gymnast turned coach who is constantly angry and mean to everyone including her father and her father manipulates her to train this fan of her's to get the gold in a gymnastics competition. I have not seen a movie this unfunny and mean-spirited in a long time. I hated it.

Jeffrey Burton I think this movie really missed it's target audience. While it is breath of foul mouthed air in the usually formulaic and insipid gymnastic movie genre, it goes too far with the raunch. I think if they had pared back the language and nudity to a PG-13 level and replaced it with more character development and heart, they could've been competing for the Gold. Okay, enough of the gymnastic metaphors. Some of this stuff was staring them in face. I mean, they create a central character who's totally self-centered, lacking in schooling and social skills. They could've given her a great scene and a large amount of redemption by revealing her Olympic training robbed her of childhood. She didn't get proper schooling, only had rivals, never friends, never learned how to relate to other people and because of her early victory, was never was allowed to grow up. It was right in front of them but they never go there. As a result Hope lacks depth and the movie doesn't really deliver a satisfying ending. Given that most gymnastic movies target girls who are of age to be learning gymnastics, the language goes too far and the sex scene while being sort of funny is way too graphic for a family with children to watch. They could've accomplished the same goals the movie strives for with a little less of the language and sex and a little more heart. Still, it's a good movie and a fun watch, it's just it could've been very good.

Paola0514 I avoided this movie because I saw a clip of the very raunchy looking "scene." I came across it tonight and I was blown away. It is subtle comedy, and yes, it is crass. But it is not crass in the way other movies (like Trainwreck- which I hated) do it to get a laugh. The laughs come from the situations. The character is a spoiled, self-centered, a-hole who cannot accept that her glory days are over (imagine the washed out small town high school quarterback). This is her attitude, her tough-as-nails, no b.s, cause I'm a winner kind of loser. The closest I can compare this is to Danny McBride in "Eastbound and Down." So if you like that kind of humor: the kind of pathetic jerk who can't see themselves as anything other than a champ and ends up getting a little heart (and pride kicks) along the way then you will probably enjoy this.

room102 Melissa Rauch wrote and stars in a crude comedy about a grumpy teenage former-gymnast who has to train a young gymnast.Watching Melissa Rauch in interviews, it was obvious to me she has a lot more to offer than her character in THE BIG BANG THEORY. In fact, she's the ONLY actress on this show who seem to play a character that is completely different from herself in real life while all the other actors basically play themselves. Same goes for Thomas Middleditch, whom I really like on SILICON VALLEY, but plays the same character (himself) in everything, including in this movie.Unfortunately, the movie isn't very interesting and Melissa's character is way too grumpy and hostile towards everyone around her for the viewer to sympathize with her character.Gary Cole (OFFICE SPACE) is good in the role of the patient father.
