The Big Leap (2021)

Sometime when you need a second chance at that one thing you are passionate about, you just gotta take the The Big Leap in the right direction.  Sometimes that direction leads you to Detroit, where a once promising musical theater director, Nick Blackburn (Scott Foley) has new project in the works, a live reality TV competition to cast a modern version of Swan Lake.  Like any great reality TV casting though, there is a good combination of people strictly hunting for fame, people who are actually talented but are just down-on-their-luck, wannabes, outcasts, and the sometimes downright crazies coming out of the woodwork to tryout.  As the "show within a show" takes off, we get to see a different cast of characters from the talented and full bodied Gabby (Simone Recasner), the somewhat past her prime former dancer. Julia (Teri Polo), or the star in the making Paula (Piper Perabo), or the mean girl trying to body shame others into quitting the competition, Brittney (Anna Grace Barlow).  Either way, this group of outcasts is either going to fall on their face trying to leap a little too big, or they are going to end up a resounding success by injecting their own personality and life experience into a version of one of the most classic ballets in history.  Along the way, we definitely get to see some of the sexy star power featured in this feel good story, but it's mean girl Brittney, played by Anna Grace Barlow that brings the surefire sexy skin reveal while trying to intimidate a locker room full of her competition in her undies.
