It's sexy, it's cute, and hilarious to boot :)

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2000)

I think everyone who likes teen comedies will enjoy this movie, although it can only really be appreciated by someone who has been a competitive cheerleader. It reminded me a lot of Clueless.
I saw this movie with my boyfriend, who merely puts up with my cheerleading obsession, and my friend, who also cheers. All of us, as well as the rest of the theater, were splitting our sides. I came into this movie with low expectations - I figured I'd be bored until the competition sequence at the end. I was really pleasantly surprised. If word gets out, I think this could be the sleeper fluff comedy of the summer.
The cheers are pretty lame but the competition sequences are outstanding. The tumbling and stunts are all well done, evidence of the fact that they brought in nationally-ranked choreographers and cheerleaders for the background action.
I liked the way the movie gently poked fun at the silly stuff we do to prepare for competition (yes we use that much hairspray), but also brought attention to the athleticism and dedication it takes to be a national champion.
This movie was so fun! Two thumbs up!
