The Bronze

Hope Ann Greggory was a brash and unlikable Olympic gymnastics bronze medalist in 2004. Ten years later, living a life of mediocrity and struggling with substance abuse, she is forced to coach a promising young gymnast, Maggie, to train her for the upcoming World Championships, a task she reluctantly undertakes in exchange for a lucrative coaching contract.

The Bronze received largely negative reviews from critics, who found its humor offensive and its plot derivative. While some acknowledged a few scattered laughs, the overall sentiment was that the film relied too heavily on shock value and lacked genuine substance. Audiences were also divided, with many finding the film's crass humor and unlikeable protagonist off-putting.

• The film attempts to find humor in its crude and offensive subject matter but largely fails.
• Melissa Rauch's performance is often cited as a highlight, despite the material.
• The plot is predictable and relies on shock value rather than genuine character development.
