Jump in! (2007 TV Movie)
9/10
Realistic and bracing

First of all, I have to tip my hat to Disney. In the past, the movies they have made have been over exaggerated kid-movies. Before seeing this film I never thought much of jump roping as a sport, just an activity. It TRULY changed my mind. The storyline begins with Izzy (Corbin) a young aspiring boxer who becomes a stepper in a local double-dutch jump roping team. Izzy now finds himself stuck choosing between boxing and jump roping, friendship and family, who people want him to be, and where his heart truly lies. Not to mention mocks from piers, and a bully who tests Izzy's limits.

It's good to see a movie that is realistic, and yet has good morality. Jump In! captures your attention by awesome meandering dance moves, shuffled into jumping and ropes and a bracing storyline to go with it. Corbin Bleu brilliantly makes his mark in Jump In!
