Chalk It Up (2016) Reviews

• Nice film for kids

  My 7 year daughter and 9 year old son loved it. I found some of the jokes quite funny too. Nothing deep and doesn't pretend to be. This is probably why I didn't find it nauseating like most any other film of this genre. It is purposely over the top at times and not yet another Disney production. Thumbs up.

• An unfunny comedy

  The movie is about a girl starting a gymnastics team in order to win her boyfriend back. But with time she learns some valuable lessons on how she should not be obsessed with guys, find her talents and stick with friends. Such "educational" movies are super predictable. Which usually doesn't bother me if the movie is still made well and I get to laugh a lot. But I didn't laugh once during the movie. The fact that it isn't realistic doesn't bother me, after all it is a movie. My only issue was with Cali getting into CIA training because she cried. Like, really? And the acting was irritating. I won't say the actors have no talent, it seems to be the movie's style, but if they have talent it sure isn't noticeable in this movie. Yeah the point of the movie is a good one. Yet there are thousands of movies spreading the same message that are much better done. And this kind of movies are for kids. Yet I am not sure how many kids will like to watch movies about "old people". The point I gave are mainly for gymnastics scenes which were pretty great.

• Horrible Version of Legally Blonde

  Bad acting, bad writing, bad budget. Overall terrible. I don't think the people behind this movie understand gymnastics or college sports. Giving this a two out of ten was generous and only for Chet who was kinda cool. The plot was so bad and so unbelievable. Her roommate was really applying for the CIA? The gymnastics team got that good, that quickly? I have so many more questions. Why was Emily getting married in the middle of the college? This portrays women so badly throughout the entire movie, as if the entire gender is only concerned with marriage. Watch this movie if you want to laugh at a really, really, really (really, really, really) horrible movie.

• What's with the casting?

  They all look in their mid thirties! (At best). What kind of college is this?!? And the lead female is RIPPED (they all are) yet her boyfriend calls her "skinny fat"?? Corny dialogue, bad acting (or directing or both). Blah, it was really bad.
