Twenty-one-year-old Plumb Marigold has lived her entire life surrounded by coaches, teammates and fans while training to be an Olympic distance runner. Though she excels in her sport, she's always felt like an outsider, as her schedule has kept a normal life at bay. Everything changes when Plumb is ordered to take a day off from running to recover for the finals of the Olympic trials. Her forced downtime, including a surprise connection with a boy who works at the bakery, sets her on a new path.

Ms. Pappas has little dialogue, but the camera adores her expressive, wide-eyed face, which conveys plenty.

None of these developments carry much dramatic weight, yet the film is light and affable, with a few modest laughs and good observational detail about athletic training and the lives of aspiring Olympians.

I wished Pappas had tapped deeper into the dark side she hints at - the side that makes her protagonist more concerned about being a winner than about being a person.

For someone used to winning, Pappas - and Teicher - find a different way to use the adjective with this major crowdpleaser.

Tracktown is a cutesy, generic, unfunny indie film, with an overgrown infant at its centre, and only the most surface-level interest in any of its other characters or themes.

The breezy film can't quite go the distance with its string of earnest platitudes and distracting contrivances.

Concept is good one. But we hated the way sex was treated. Here you have this uber dedicated young woman seeking her dream. The movie spends most of its time showing you her dedication and worry. Yet, the "love interest" basically totally discounts her dream and pressures her into sex....makes her feel badly about wanting to stay within her training regiment. AND then, birth control is not even mentioned. She's a virgin. Just so missed the mark here. Other points; acting was fairly weak and the love interest was miscast. If you're not interested in track running, you'll be bored. Why eat a raw egg? takes 1 minute to cook one?? Just "okay".

Horrible! I was highly disappointed by the focus on sex instead of achieving her running goals. What a waste and bad example of a guy distracting a girl from success rather than being on the sidelines and supporting her!

I don't really recommend this to most people, but it's a pretty amazing movie considering how it was made and it is absolutely original.

Fantastic film that gives insight to the running world, while focusing on the personal development of a rising track star. Alexi Pappas did a wonderful job as Plumb Marigold, a shy Olympic hopeful who still lives with her single dad. Andy Buckley (The Office) plays the dad, a running aficionado who helps organize 5Ks and falls asleep to film of track races. Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live) plays the estranged mother with signs of mental illness who is trying to build a relationship with her daughter. Chase Offerle plays a local bakery boy that Plumb has a crush on. The film explores Plumb's relationship between these three characters over only several days between Olympic trials. The intermittent quotes narrated by Pappas gave a fun insight into the thought process of Plumb. Absolutely worth watching!

A unique look at a young female athlete struggling to find balance. This movie is full of heart and originality. It also features many Olympic athletes and shows off the unique world of Tracktown, USA!
