An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars

Watch An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars (2012) online on iFILM — a family drama directed by Vince Marcello, based on the American Girl book series. McKenna is a passionate young gymnast juggling hard training schedules with slipping school grades, all while a major competition looms on the calendar.

When an injury sidelines her, she has to learn something the gym never taught: asking for help. Her friend Touya is going through academic struggles of her own, and McKenna's mom — played by Nia Vardalos — offers support without doing the hard part for her. Jade Pettyjohn leads the cast in a straightforward, earnest story about resilience that works best for younger viewers. Stream McKenna Shoots for the Stars online on iFILM.
