Jump roping that's worlds away from anything seen on the local playground bursts from the screen in this Disney Original Movie about the clash between two athletes and their respective sports. Boxer Izzy Daniels (Corbin Bleu) has a hard time taking neighbor Mary's (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 (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 cusp of 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 into quitting. As Izzy tries to regain his boxing focus, he suddenly realizes that winning the Golden Glove is more his father's (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. This action-packed Disney Channel Original Movie takes a unique look at the varied world of sports and features some great catchy new music from Corbin Bleu and Jordan Pruitt, but the game-winner is its focus on the importance of following one's heart.

This is from a mother. Im not crazy about Disney movies. But I saw this on TV and I was hooked. I couldn't leave the TV. Its sweet, has great messages, wonderful acting and a lots of fun music. This was a wonderful movie. I would buy this in a second.

Keke Palmer is awesome!
When I saw this movie, I thought that it was inspirational and it taught good life lessons, it's entertaining, and the music was great!!

I am glad that Keke Palmer was in it, because she can sing, and act, too! When I saw her in Akeelah and the Bee, I thought her talent was sure to be recognized. Corbin Bleu was pretty good in the movie too!

The music in the movie was really good, and Keke and Corbin were great singers.

Everybody in my family loves this movie, including my parents, my 9-year old brother, my 3-year old sister, and myself. This movie is a definite must-buy! It rocks! The jump-rope stunts are pretty cool too!
