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. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

A decent teen movie for a change! Too bad hollywood doesn't make more movies like this one! I recommend this one for the whole family.
A family tries to unite while dealing with the death of their mom. Double Dutch jumproping comes onto the scene and things get stirred up. Relationships are challenged and friendships are developed.

Pulled in two directions, Izzy Daniels must find a balance between his passion for boxing and his promise to help his friends with an intense double-Dutch jump-roping competition. Live-action, Jump In! combines themes of friendship, hard work, and individuality with energizing hip-hop music and impeccable choreography. This DVD was selected by the ALA's Association for Library Service to Children as a 2008 Notable Children's Video, and it is the winner of the prestigious Andrew Carnegie Medal, awarded by ALA for excellence in the field!

Wish there were more movies like this. Completely clean. Shows good family life and people working out problems within their relationships. My 5 and 7 year old loved it and the 7 year old said it was his all time favorite movie. Even my 3 year old enjoyed watching some of it. It also got my kids very interested in jump roping. Definitly 5 stars!

I bought this to view because I am a music teacher and one of my lessons was to teach the song from this movie "Jump to the Rhythm". I wanted to watch it after teaching the song. My students loved it! It has a great message to it, about being yourself and fulfilling your own dreams not the dreams of someone else.
