Or, as they say, "bring it"

Rating: 7/10 (3 May 2002)

One of the chants goes as follows: "Brr / It's cold in here / There must be some [insert team name] in the at-mos-phere / I said, Brr... etc." -What does this MEAN? Is it possible to work it out, without an extensive knowledge of current Californian slang?
Not an unpleasant movie, but the aftertaste is sour. There was no need at all for Torrance to exhibit moral weakness once (continuing to use the her predecessor's chants when she knew them to be stolen), let alone twice (hiring a shady professional choreographer). By the time of the final showdown the waters have become so muddied that it's impossible to enjoy ANY possible result. And is it just me, or did everyone look alarmingly skinny? The choreographer orders one of the girls on a diet after making a wisecrack about her enormous backside, which we see, and while it would be nice if she DID have an enormous backside, the widest angle lens the cameraman dare use can't hide the fact that this supposedly curvy girl is as thin as the rest of them - i.e., flirting with anorexia.
I liked it while watching, largely because its heart's in the right place, and it isn't as idiotic a teen movie as most others. But on reflection it's seriously misshapen.
