Summary: A guilty pleasure.
Review: This movie is pure fun. Not violent fun like Die Hard. Not comedy fun like Rush Hour or Shanghai Noon. It's like closet chocoholic fun. You don't want to admit you've seen this or even like it. Yet you do.

The premise may turn you off. The story is about rival cheerleading teams who are duking it out for Nationals. The road is a rough one for both teams. The side of Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushka (hee) find that their routines have been stolen for the past (we can assume) 4 years. The other side comes from what could be considered the 'Hood because they have no money to get to Nationals. Oh, did I mention that Dunst's team stole the routine from their rivals?

From where I came from, cheerleading is treated as a joke. It's for brainless, bubble-gum popping, ditzy girls. As for male cheerleaders, "that says it all". IF YOU CAN PUT THAT ASIDE, it's a very enjoyable film.

Upon seeing the routines, you'll wonder why YOUR high school wasn't nearly as athletic as what you are watching. Have you ever watched the cheerleading comps on ESPN? The routines in the movie equal to what you see on ESPN. The routines are just awesome showing that cheerleaders can/are athletes themselves.

I really picked this movie up because of Kirsten Dunst. Yet, she almost gets shadowed by Eliza Dushka who brings in a certain sexiness that Dunst doesn't do. Both girls do an excellent job of fitting into the high school society (they aren't that far from it...) and it reminds some of us why high school wasn't that great.

The movie is full of fun moments ("THOSE AREN'T SPIRIT FINGERS!!!") and other goofy scenes (a spitting contest between Dunst and Bradford).

This is a great movie and a pleasant surprise. If you enjoyed SHE'S ALL THAT, Can't Hardly Wait, or any other 90s high school movie, you'll love this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of Fun
Review: I didn't want to rent this movie. I was ashamed - it looked so silly and something a fourteen year old girl would want to rent. Not me.

But I did it anyway and I took it home and I watched it and I really enjoyed it - I suprised myself. It was fun to watch, and funny, and a little surreal. The characters (esp Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Bradshaw) really were believable and worked so well together. And I just loved watching Torrance (Dunst) dance manically on her bed to that absolutely AMAZING Rufus King song, which Cliff (Bradshaw) had written for her.

The extras are great too - there are these fun little pop-ups, like Pop-Up video things, that you can have come on during the movie that give little tidbits of information on the actors and the characters as well as cheerleading (like did you know that the shirt that Bradshaw wears in his first scene was bought on eBay by himself? I didn't. Now I know too many strange things about the movie, but hey, it's so much fun!). The commentary by directory Peyton (ooh, what a cool name) Reed is great too, very inciteful and really shows how HE intended the movie to be. Loved the car-wash scene footage as well, simply b/c it had the full song by Rufus King, which I can't seem to find anywhere, but have really fallen in love with.

I highly reccomend this - it was just so much fun!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: resist first 15 minutes
Review: Once I read a review about this movie saying you should only resist the first 15 minutes in order to enjoy it, and it's absolutely true. The plot is not very attractive -- cheerleaders championship-- but the movie becomes more interesting as soon as you get its spirit.

The songs are great and Kirsten Durst does not disappoint as a cheerleader who finds out all the dance routines of her squad had been stolen from other teams. But what is worst: she has only a few days to create something original to present in the national championship, keeping the 5 year winner tradition of her squad.

If you want to have fun without too many expectations, just watch this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cheerleader Mania
Review: I viewed this movie twice. It is one that will grow on you and make you watch it many times over. The first time I thought it was a stupid cheerleading movie as you watch it for story content. But, the second time you watch it for the actual cheerleading and purely for entertainment. I think it's one you will watch over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bring on the review
Review: If you like cheerleading then you'll love this movie! It's about a cheerleader Torrance recently elected head cheerleader finds out all of her cheers were stolen from the East Compton Clovers. After barely making it to state finals she find a choreographer. Then at state they find out their choreographer had taught the routine to many other sqauds throughout the nation. They make it to regionals with a different routine. If you want to find out what happens next you should rent the movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Closed Caption
Review: I don't know if I seem to have the only problem with this movie. I tried everything that I know of to get the closed caption off of it. I would rate this movie but what good would it do me with writing all over the screen when they talk. If I had to rate it now I would give it a -5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy the movie now it's great
Review: I love this movie it is really funny. I couldn't believe I would actually like it. Everyone in that movie was hot. It had a pretty good plot. The ending was sort of predictable. Overall it kept my attention through the whole movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cheer On!!!!!!!!!
Review: I love cheerleading and after seeing the movie i thought that i could do it even if people think you can't and i think I would recamend it for everyboby who loves cheerleading

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good movie for kids, in the vein of "Clueless"
Review: Once in awhile a teen movie (generally, one that is watched by kids from ages 8-13; teens only watch "R" rated shows they can somehow get into!) comes along that combines all the elements of good filmaking. Casting, filming, soundtrack, hidden agendas all come together to create a movie that your preteens will watch 15-20 times. Like "Clueless" of years back, this movie will be a slumber party standard, and its treatment of things that become issues for teens (race, sexuality, cliques, etc.) will provide a good standard for kids to sort things out. A fun movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oooh YES!
Review: I really enjoy watching movies about High School girls, and brother, this is one of the best. They're cheerleaders!

Why wouldn't it deserve 5 stars?
