Hold up you pom-poms!

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2004)

"I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot"- the first line of the movie, along with that bouncy beat in the background, made me feel i was heading for a treat...and i was right. This turned out be another one of my best, high school/chick flick movies.
At the time of release, Kirsten Dunst was 18, and undoubtedly one of the best and popular actresses of that time- and i believe she was the perfect Torrance Shipman. Eliza Dushku was BRILLIANT- her raggedy sweet charm, was plus point for her to earn this role. Before this, we had seen her Buffy the Vampire Slayer playing the not so good Faith- so this would have been a good image cleanser. Except for Jesse Bradford,the other cast members in this movie was relatively unknown, but that did not stop America from enjoying this movie- in fact they enjoyed this movie so much, it topped the box office for 2 weeks - well it certainly deserved it. As for me, this chick flick should have deserved another week.
The body moves, music and stunts, is certainly one hell of a hair raiser. If people aren't a lover of high school chick flicks, the latter should be a reason for watching it.
All in all- this was a brilliant movie, which had great charm, wit and action. This would certainly be in one of the best high school movies made.
