better than what i expected

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2001)

i went into this movie expecting, for want of a better word, rubbish. however, not long into it, i was cracking up laughing at, well, everything. i had expected extremely cheesy lines, poor acting and plot? what plot.
so lets have a go at what i thought. ok, the lines were cheesy, that made it funnier, and not in a way you were laughing at how bad they were. the acting may have been over the top at times, but on the whole, the cast, especially Kirsten Dunst (The Virgin Suicides), Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) who played their roles to perfection.
The supporting cast, especially Clare Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Lindsay Sloane (TV's Grosse Pointe) and Jesse Bradford (Romeo + Juliet) give the film a great boost as the bitchy cheerleader, the domineering former cheerleader captain and the eventual love interest for Dunst respectively.
the plot was still dodgy, but i really didnt care as the movie was great to watch anyway. 8/10
p.s the fact the girls spent most of the time in either cheerleading outfits or in states of semi-nudity REALLY didnt harm it at all :p
