Seriously?

I love gymnastics too and I agree with you. She's a black gymnast. That's the reason the movie was made. She's a good a gymnast, but so are the other girls on the team. When I was in gymnastics, I worked with black and Asian teammates and race didn't matter. So why does this particular gymnast get a movie over her teammates? This movie doesn't need to exist. I used to be in gymnastics and we ALL go through self doubt and personal troubles. I too would rather see a film about Nastia Lukin too. She was just as good, if not better. This girl does not deserve a movie about her life. She hasn't done enough and she's only a teenager. There are many more athletes that deserve a movie over her.

Oh please spare me your racist hate. How many pointless movies have been made about whites, just because they are white? Natalie Holloway who was stupid to go off with a bunch of dudes in a foreign country. Jodi Ares, really? True stories about the antics of stupid white privileged teenagers, "Girl Fight" and "The Fab Five" those aren't pointless at all, and they have also been done a 1000 times.

Oh but the minute there is a movie starring a black girl, it's a problem. Oh this world...Then you wonder why blacks had to create their own station and their own awards show. If this movie was featuring a white Olympic winner, it wouldn't even be a discussion. There may have been others that are good or better and have done more, maybe. But being white with money they also didn't have to struggle as hard. So yes she does deserve a movie over many of them. I'm glad they made this because it shows the girl's trials and tribulations being black and in the the white world of gymnastics while dealing with people just like you.

To me it's simply a matter of the fact that there is a The ____ Story" movie about a kid who is barely 18 years old now. Granted, the even that made her a household name occurred when she was 16, but for crying out loud, "The _____ Story" movies should be made at least a decade after the event.

I guess we should not be shocked when we now-a-days get real crime oriented TV movies before a trial takes place.

Then don't watch, it's not like anyone is begging you to. There was also a tv movie about Oksana Baiul, who went to hell and back before winning the gold in figure skating back in 1994, and you don't hear anyone whining about that.

Love Les Miserables!!!

What is she 18 now, how do you do a store about someone who is young enough to be my daughter, the store was not all that great.

First African American woman to win individual all around, the first non-white individual in any nation to win this. She is the first American to win the team and individual all around.

But, hey, yeah... that's nothing.

Why the hell didn't bigots like yourself make these comments when movies about Nancy Kerrigan or Greg Louganis were made?! Oh, obviously, because those people are white, and if they're white, it's alright.

I think more has to do with the fact that Gabby is first african american win all round. Geez I thought someone who is fan of gymnastics would know that
