I found this movie to have a great message to kids school-age through early adolescence. It is about being yourself and pursuing your own dreams. It even addresses how sometimes parents can sometimes pressure kids into their own dreams - and how it can be handled. My daughter loves this movie. Another plus is she is now very interested in double-dutch - what great exercise!
I felt the girls were just a little to submissive and obedient to Izzy. They also were a little coy and coquettish.
I still loved the movie. The athleticism was so inspiring!
It's about a family that has a boy who does boxing and enjoys it. And then a bunch of jump roping girls make him change his mind and go from a boxer to a jump roper. It's very unusual.
