Heavenly Bodies

A former Olympic gymnast, now a cynical lawyer, is forced to defend a struggling aerobics club. To save the club from being demolished to make way for a luxury hotel, she must train a ragtag group of unlikely individuals to compete in a national aerobics competition.

Heavenly Bodies was a modest box office success, though it received mixed reviews from critics. It's often remembered as a fun, albeit somewhat cheesy, representation of the aerobics craze of the 1980s.

• Praised for its energetic performances and lighthearted tone.

• Criticized for its predictable plot and over-the-top 1980s aesthetic.

• Seen as a fun, escapist film that captures the spirit of the era.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available generally recall it as an entertaining, nostalgic film from the 80s, particularly enjoyable for its depiction of fitness culture.

The film was a Canadian production and aimed to capitalize on the global aerobics phenomenon of the early 1980s.
