Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
sombroff I have laugh from beginning to the end, and never feel boring during this movie. If more movies could be as good as this one it would be heaven. I don't understand why people can write bad reviews or give bad rating to this movie... It's maybe not a blockbuster, but if you want have fun watching a small funny movie with special people and special story, this movie is made for you!!! I hope this movie can have the success it deserves. And I really want to say a big thank you to every body have work on this movie, it makes people feel good to see this kind of comedy, which look like low budget but actually we can feel there is love and passion behind this movie, thanks to have pay attention to all the details and bring us this kind of fun in the life.
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.
jackburto Hope is the name of the character that Melissa Rauch plays in "The Bronze". She plays a gymnast that is ripe for the gold until she injures herself, ultimately ending her career. Hope is an unsocialized product of home schooling by a single parent. In order to motivate Hope, her father dangles a false monetary reward to train an up and coming gymnast.This movie was difficult to watch for me as I am accustomed to seeing Melissa play Bernadette in The Big Bang Theory. Their characters are as different as night and day. Watching her play this role was similar to watching Lauren Graham in Bad Santa. In fact, the makers of The Bronze must have had the movie Bad Santa in mind when making it because Melissa was a female version of Billy Bob Thornton's role. If you are a Bernadette fan, then stay away from this movie.
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.
