Shallow Fun

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2001)

Most of the people that had bad things to say about this film said the same thing: "Cheesy Dialogue, bad scriptwriting". Well damn, what'd you expect?? If you saw this film and expected it to be a deep film, then you were wrong. This movie wasnt going for any oscars--it's just entertaining. I thought of it as being something like "Clueless w/ pom-poms".
The flick is fun to watch. The music's cool, the routines are entertaining, and the cheesy valley dialogue is funny if you aren't trying to take it too seriously, and the chicks are hot. (Gooo Tsianina Joelson!)
Everyone that's reading this probably knows the plot already so I won't go into that. But I thought the movie was well casted (though Duntz' shrill voice was harsh at times). Props to Gabrielle Union, Eliza Dushku, Jesse Bradford, Tsianina Joelson (!!!) and Huntley Ritter for their performances.

This movie has it's moments, w/ memorable scenes like "Sparky Polastri" and Nathan West's "slipping digits" which make the movie just what the writers intended it to be. Fun. So if you check this film out, watch it knowing that yer in for a fun ride--not academy award-worthy depth.
