Youthful energy carries this formulaic sports comedy that was originally made for the Disney Channel. In a likeable performance, High School Musical's Corbin Bleu stars as a Brooklyn teenager torn between two vastly different worlds - amateur boxing and competitive skipping. It's far-fetched plotting for sure, though fun to watch thanks to an infectiously exuberant cast and some amazing scenes of Double Dutch rope jumping. Overall, events are playful but with enough street smarts and attitude to appeal to modern youngsters. Positive if simplistic life lessons add to the upbeat atmosphere, encouraging the film's target pre-teen audience to follow their hearts and not be restricted by gender conventions.

A young boxer, Izzy Daniels, trains to follow in his father's footsteps by winning the Golden Glove. But when his friend, Mary asks him to substitute for a team member in a Double Dutch tournament, the young man discovers a hidden passion for jump roping, all while finding love with Mary and navigating conflict with himself and his father about boxing.
