A decade
ago, Hope Ann Greggory (Melissa Rauch) was America’s sweetheart. Her
inspired performance on a ruptured Achilles at the world’s most
prestigious gymnastics tournament clinched an unlikely bronze medal for
the U.S. team and brought glory to her hometown of Amherst, Ohio. But
in the years since that epic third place victory, Hope hasn’t done a
whole lot with her life. Still living at home with her dad Stan (Gary
Cole), she spends her days milking her minor celebrity
for favors and endlessly reminiscing about her glory days.
When Hope is
given the unexpected job of coaching Amherst’s newest gymnastics
prodigy Maggie (Haley Lu Richardson), as she prepares to compete at the
fast-approaching Toronto Games, the hard-edged and foul-mouthed
Hope finds herself faced with a serious dilemma. Does she jeopardize
her “hometown hero” status by devotedly training this rising star? Or
does she attempt to sabotage the impressionable Maggie to ensure that
she remains the one and only star in Amherst?
When
Hope learns that her longtime nemesis, Lance Tucker (Sebastian Stan),
is eyeing Maggie for a spot on his team, she realizes what’s at stake
for Maggie and for Amherst. With her nervous and kindhearted childhood
acquaintance Ben (Thomas Middleditch) in tow, her competitive streak
kicks into high-gear as she sets out to show the world just what a
bronze medalist is truly made of… and what she discovers about herself
and the people who have stood by her for all these
years is far more than she, or anyone, could have ever anticipated.

In this action comedy based on true events, directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite;

meaning of adventure far beyond his wildest dreams. He is an
uncomplicated man stuck in a monotonous life. Day in and day out he
drives an armored vehicle, transporting millions of other
people’s money with no escape in sight. The only glimmer of excitement
is his flirtatious work crush Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig) who soon
lures him into the scheme of a lifetime.
Along
with a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers (Owen
Wilson) and an absurdly faulted heist plan, David manages the impossible
and makes off with $17 million in cash…only problem is he foolishly
hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been
set up to take the fall. With the bandits blowing the millions on
lavish and ridiculous luxuries, they leave behind a glaring trail of
evidence. Now on the lam and in over his head, David
must dodge the authorities, evade a hilarious hit man, Mike McKinney

most.
