Another Styx song in a movie
Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 6:49 am"Come Sail Away" was in The Wild, now "Renegade" is making it's way to another movie. It was in the trailer for the movie "Benchwarmers" now it's in the movie "Stick It"

"Stick It" is a retread of "Bring It On," from the writer of that 2000 Kirsten Dunst comedy, only with gymnastics in place of cheerleading.
It trots out a cornucopia of sports-movie cliches: the tough-love coach, the training montage, the stubborn athlete in need of a life-affirming realization which will (of course) take place during the big championship competition.
It panders shamelessly to its attention span-deprived target audience with quick edits and jump cuts, sequences that have been sped up and slowed down and tricky extreme sports maneuvers, all to the tune of catchy, blaring guitar riffs. (Though the choice of "Renegade" by Styx, while an amusing blast from the past, came out way before anyone in the theater was born and as such is, like, lame.)
