This movie is a JOKE (and a funny one, at that), but it's supposed to be.

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2000)

First of all, I found this movie to be very funny. I didn't think it was great by any means, but it definitely made me laugh. Ian Roberts (SO good on Upright Citizen's Brigade) is incredibly hilarious. I was still laughing a few hours after the movie when I'd think of his line "Cheerleaders are dancers gone retarded." And a lot of the lines that people are using to show how awful the movie is ("When you skip meals, your body feeds on your fat reserves, so maybe if you skip enough, your body will eat your a**" -- another Ian Roberts line, and "This is a cheer-ocracy and you're being a cheer-tator") were really hilarious if you took them in the correct context -- as JOKES! In the theater, I was laughing so hard during the "eat your a**" line (actually, I was laughing during the entire "Sparky the Choreographer" scene) because I thought everyone would be able to see that this is just another tidbit of bad advice that he is giving the squad, along with their shoddy routine.
As for those of you mad because there are stereotypes in this movie...GET OVER IT! This movie is a SATIRE...which means that everything is exaggerated and stereotyped for a reason -- to show how DUMB it really is. If you can't get that, you shouldn't see the movie. If you have even a remote sense of humor, you will understand that this movie isn't supposed to be taken seriously.
Come on people...this movie isn't supposed to be a film of social movement...it's just a film making fun of the whole high school cheerleader thing. It's a good movie if you're looking for a little bit of easy-going entertainment.
7/10
