superb..........................

this dvd is superb. My daughter Bethany loved it. Boxer Izzy Daniels (played by Corbin Bleu from High School Musical) has a hard time taking his neighbour Mary's (played by Keke Palmer) devotion to jump roping seriously, but as Izzy trains relentlessly to maintain his undefeated status and win the Golden Glove, Mary's team practices just as intensely for the city Double Dutch finals.

Izzy gains a reluctant respect for Mary's sport when he accompanies his sister Karin (played by Kylee Russell) to a competition, but it takes some serious convincing to persuade him to fill in for a teammate who's abandon the team on the eve of the city finals.

Izzy quickly discovers that Double Dutch is more demanding and rewarding than he'd ever imagined, but when the entire school finds out about his newest sporting exploit, he's taunted and made fun of, and forced into quitting.

As Izzy tries to regain his boxing focus, he suddenly realizes that winning the Golden Glove is more his father's (played by David Reivers) dream than his own.

After some serious soul-searching, Izzy decides that he can't let what others think keep him from doing what makes him happy.

Watch the film to find out what happens next... I will not tell you, as this would spoil your enjoyment of the film.

great kids film

This is a real kids film with exciting skipping involved and the dilemmas of a teenage boy growing up and a reputation which he may want to maintain. A good family film.
