Summary: Watch if you¿ve had a brain bypass
Review: However, that doesn't mean I didn't like it! This was a great film, and I was laughing right the way through. I just thought that would be a cool title. You don't need much thinking to enjoy this film. Which makes it very easy for me to like. It means I'm not constantly who this guy is and what is he doing, and why is he doing it. Just sit back, relax, and let the simpleness go straight over your head.

It was very slow to start with. There were no great pop/dance songs, or any spectacular cheerleading stunts. Those all came later. At the beginning, it was just simple things, with a little chemistry between Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Bradford, and her boyfriend cheating on her, and refusing to kiss her in front of the "parentals".

Lets skip all the boring bits to talk about the characters. Kirsten Dunst is once again stereotyped as the blonde bubbly girl, who's always smiling. Gabrielle Union seems to appear in every teenage film around, and she's normally gets on my nerves. And she never plays one of the lead characters either. Jesse Bradford I have personally never heard of, but will need to get more films out with him in them! Very nice. He reminded me of Donny Osmond in some scenes - I don't think he'd appreciate that comment though! He played a great lead up against Kirsten Dunst.

However, the shining star in this film was Eliza Dushku. Previously starring as the bratty daughter of Arnold Schwarzneggar in True Lies, she's plucked her eyebrows, and grown up. The whole film seemed to light up when she appeared, and she gave her part so much more energy that she managed to outshine Kirsten Dunst. Something that couldn't possibly be done. But she was the highlight of this film for me, coming in to try out for cheerleading in the beginning, a rebelling teenager (with a very Pamela Anderson tattoo), to at the end a reformed teenager, who smiles and enjoys cheerleading. Her face is a picture when she first watches the rest of the 'team' cheerleading.

This movie had one of the greatest soundtracks ever! I need this soundtrack. From your typical cheerleading songs ("Mickey" originally by Toni Basil, done here by B*Witched, a now defunct Irish girl group) to some of the rockier songs (the one that Jesse's character sings to Kirsten), to some songs which are undeniably catchy ("As If" by Blaque - nope, never heard of them either). I'm not the dancing type, and I didn't dance to it, but it's the kind of music I would probably dance around my room to, if no one were around! They are typically great pop songs, and that's the kind of stuff I like.

The extras are also very good, although I'll never find the Easter egg. The Blaque video was quite disappointing to watch, they seemed to be basing themselves on Destiny's Child/TLC. No wonder I've never heard of them. You have 45 minutes of extras to watch, and they seem to fly by.

This is one of the few films I've ever actually watched right to the very end of the credits (apart from Titanic and Matrix Reloaded). There's the cast dancing and miming (albeit badly) to "Mickey" before the credits even start rolling, and then there's outtakes going on in the background (memorable highlight: Kirsten Dunst royally messing up her lines and swearing about it), and then the great pop songs playing over the end credits. I finished watching this film on such a high.

This is one for both guys and girls to watch. The girls will be wondering if they could have made it into a cheerleading team if they lived in the USA (the answer is no), and the guys will have their tongues hanging out most of the time! The little cheerleading outfits, the very unnecessary but apparently needed car washing sequence, where all the girls are quite literally poured into bikinis, and ham it up for the camera.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this movie is great!!
Review: this movie is sooooo good!!!! It stars Kirsten Dunst as Torrence, the new captain for her cheerleading squad the "Rancho Carne Toros". Eliza Dusku stars as Missy, a new girl who does gymnastics. This is Missy's cheer in the tryouts: "I transferred from Los Angeles, you're school has no gymnastic team, this is the last resort!". The tryouts were so funny!!!! You have to buy this movie!!

Summary: Ugh, why don't I just watch Crossroads?
Review: I really don't understand why this movie got such high reviews. It irritated me the first time I saw it in the theaters. I saw it again on television and I still wasn't impressed. I actually got up and left before the end of the movie because I thought the cars passing by outside the theater were more interesting. At least they weren't obsessed with being cute, like this movie was.
What is this classified as? A teen movie? A sports, the bad team improves and learns valuable lessons at the end-- movie? I don't get it. Does this movie have any original ideas or dialogue at all? Have they done anything besides rehash what was done before, and simplicize and stereotype everything? And, of course, they find out that they were stealing their routines from a group of students from a poor inner city school cheerleader team that is made up mostly of blacks and hispanics. When was this supposed to take place, 1985?? Things are different now, aren't they? All the minority groups don't automatically end up in the ghetto. How lame.
Some people classify this as a "feel good" movie, but I don't think that's any excuse. Who does it make feel good, insomniacs who can finally get to sleep and feel like they are not wasting their time? Quoting from "Not Another teen movie" Whatever it is, it has not already been brought.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exemplary Timing -- SUPERNATURAL Timing !!
Review: Cheerleading is a grueling, intricate, delicate activity nearly as complicated as the space shuttle. Consider what happens early in this film: Missy sees Torrence and the gang perform "Burr, It's Cold In Here," and walks out with disgust. Torrence chases her, and asks what's wrong. Missy says she's not into stealing -- then prompts Torrence to drive her to East Compton, to a Clover pep rally, where we see that squad perform "Burr, It's Cold In Here."

Is that amazing timing, or what? Torrence chooses a random moment to initiate that cheer, leading to a complex and elegant string of events (Missy's reaction, potential traffic problems on a 100-mile drive during California rush hour, etc.) which MIRACULOUSLY allows the two girls to arrive JUST AT THE INSTANT when the Clovers kick off with "Burr, It's Cold In Here."

This vignette thematically portrayed the depth of the substance of the profundity of the true gravitas of the cheerleading world -- the coordination, the execution, the organization, management and timing -- which obviously places cheerleading among the most efficacious and functional of all human pursuits. And with such cute hair and outfits too!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Cheerleader Crazy-Stuff
Review: Usually, when I'm reading reviews I like short and to the point ones and thats what I'm trying to do here (And in all my reviews) so this movie got a 3/5 because it was fun. The music was great. It was interesting, sort of funny. Um ...

Overall: Don't even think about it if your not into predictable -wacky -teenage - cheerleader movies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bring It Home
Review: This movie is much better than I thought it was going to be! Cheerleaders everywhere are usually seen to everyone as blonde, and very girly, who just want to show off their bodies. This movie proves it is not true, but only a false stereotype that everyone likes to believe. Although I myself am not a cheerleader, I now understand that they do more than just show off, they compete against other cheerleaders, and learn hard routines. It's kind of like a gymnastics thing.

This movie also shows that sexuality is questioned when you are a cheerleader. Everyone expects the girls to be heterosexual, and the male cheerleaders to be homosexual, which this movie proves is wrong. Not all guys are homosexual just because they are cheerleaders.

The Toro cheerleaders have a great routine, and a horrible leader. When Big Red's reign over the cheerleaders is over, senior Torrance Shipman (Kirsten Dunst) becomes the captain. During her reign as captain, she discovers that Big Red stole their perfectly choreographed routines from another squad from San Diego. The squad must hurry to find a new routine to compete in the next competition.

Between realizing that her boyfriend is cheating on her with another girl at his college, and getting over the "Spirit Stick curse", and falling for Missy's cute brother, Torrance and the Toros learn to create their own hot moves for the cheer squad that noone has seen before; and they only have a short amount of time to do it.

This is a great film to watch, especially if you are within the age of middle or high school. Even if you aren't a cheerleader, you will get the full extent of this movie and realize that sexuality nor stereotypes apply to athletes, and it shouldn't to cheerleaders either.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Destined to Become a Cult Classic...
Review: although unlike other cult classics (e.g., "Harold and Maude", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"), the producers of this trivial piece of divinity, focused on making a quick buck, appear to have been unaware of just how lousy a film they were putting together.

Having suffered through two other films featuring Kirsten Dunst ("Dick" and "Drop Dead Gorgeous"), I'm beginning to see a pattern in the roles she plays -- a cute, though certainly not beautiful, little airhead who smiles a lot and engages in vapid conversation. I suspect that she is as she appears.

Unless you're frozen at age 14, look elsewhere for your entertainment.
