Carrie Preston, John G. Preston, Michael Emerson, and Lurie Poston star in director James Vasquez's coming of age comedy about a young boy obsessed with dresses, dolls, and cheerleading. Joshua Dowd (Poston) isn't like the other boys in class. All Joshua's single mother Andy (Carrie Preston) wants is for her son to be normal, but instead of joining the wrestling team like the rest of his classmates Joshua longs to try out for his school's all-girl cheerleading team. Upon receiving the news that her absent father has died, Andy is surprised to see her wayward brother Alex (John G. Preston) appear unannounced on her doorstep. Perhaps now that these estranged siblings have finally come back together, they can finally start to understand what it truly means to be a "family" - even if they don't fall under the traditional definition of the word. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    "Ready? OK!" is about an 11-year-old boy who wants to be a cheerleader and whose personality and antics have his mother worried that he might be gay. For a low-budget, independent film, this is very much worthwhile. The acting is mostly good and the story is interesting and inspiring. My only reservation is that this film tries to accomplish way too much. We are drawn into a myriad of other family dysfunctions and every other character's personal issues, and it's just too much for a little comedy. This film would have been much better if it kept focus on the boy's hopes and dreams.

    What a wonderful movie. I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good acting, and honest views about various social norms. Who dictates how a person should or should not feel? What is normal? What is a family? LIfe is so diverse, there is room enough for eveyone. If you see this movie, see it with an open mind and you too enjoy it as much as I did.
