Let's Go, JETS! From Small Town Girls to U.S. Champions?!

Seems to me that it would have been much more suited to a series. I was feeling a bit nostalgic at first because it felt a lot like Tumbling, The Rookies, or Gokusen. Here we have a team that is working hard and trying to make something happen. We've got a teacher who's working hard for them and trying to get the girls to achieve something. So it's nice, the girls are working hard, building friendships, rivalries, skills. The film shows them to us over a period of three years, and that's why I don't think the film format was really sufficient for that. I'm sure it would have been more interesting, and I'm sure it would have grown on people more, if you could have enjoyed them longer and experienced more hardships with them. And if there had been space for that! But it's a nice movie about a journey to follow your dreams with some pretty cute girls led by Hirose Suzu: that girl is truly hot, she can really move, and she'll probably turn out to be something in the end. A nice 3 stars. And it may sound like I'm contradicting myself, but I ultimately thought it had an awfully long running time. They basically showed you so much that you either think it could use a series to have more fun with the girls, or it showed you too much for a movie, where a bigger resolution at the end is more important.
