If you've ever wondered what would the world be like if Olympic
champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton returned to her hometown of Fairmont,
West Virginia and acted like an egotistical maniac for years after her
career was finished, then director Bryan Buckley and married writing
team Melissa and Winston Rauch have the filthy dark comedy you've been
craving. Gymnast Hope Annabelle Greggory (Rauch) believes her hometown
of Amherst, Ohio still owes her everything after winning the bronze
medal in Rome. She's broke, rude, crude and treats everyone like a used
toilet seat. But things change when Hope's former coach unexpectedly
commits suicide and leaves a will stipulating Hope could receive $500
million so as long as she sets her ego aside and trains the town's
up-and-coming gymnastics star, Maggie Townsend (Haley Lu Richardson).
Team Rauch offers an explicitly lewd comedy that lets the "Big Bang
Theory" star off the FCC regulation chain and shine as a fearless
female comedian lead, which, sadly, does not happen as often as it
should in modern-day cinema. Actor Gary Cole lends his skills as Hope's
adoring father who's growing ever so tired of his daughter's disgusting
behavior. With dialogue that would make a sailor blush and a sex scene
that will burn hysterically disturbing imagery in your mind for life,
you will never look at the sport of gymnastics in the same light ever
again! -Jimmy Martin
