A somewhat refreshing installment in an overly tired genre

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2000)

For a standard, cliched, predictable teenage cheerleader flick, this was entertaining. It never really got boring, and all the girls were a pleasure to look at, especially Eliza Dushku, who has changed considerably since her turn as the curiously bald-patched daughter of Robert DeNiro in THIS BOY'S LIFE. I laughed at the movie, but for not one moment did I really care about any of these people. If only movies like this gave their characters actual human "centers," then perhaps this genre wouldn't feel as tired as it does. This was good, but please God, no sequels.
