Although I did like this movie a little bit, I thought it was basically a remake of High School Musical. However, instead of the star being the "basketball guy", he's the "boxing guy". In both movies the star has a pushy father who wants his son to play the sport that he played as a young adult. Also, the star meets a new girl he likes, and he wants to try something new that she likes, such as trying out for a musical, or, in this case, doing double dutch. His friends will rag on him because it's "not his thing", and he will have to choose between what he wants to do, and what everybody else wants him to do. These two stories are one in the same, just from a different point of view.
