I know what I am about to review may not be for everyone, I'm sure that plenty of air-headed girls will think this film is a Citizen Kane for the 21st century, but I am speaking for myself and, or, anyone with a partially functioning brain. This film, uh, uh, sorta SUCKED. There are plenty of things in this film to show how it could've been better, for instance, they could've made a right instead of a wrong to maybe make this a good satire like Election. But, in the end, it turns out to be a mutation making the ninja turtles look like Steve Forbes (although I'm not sure if he's human either). It is a un-needed cross of nickelodeon marketing to kids (so more will see a PG-13 movie) while having dialogue and things in it better left in American Pie. Which is unfair, because films like American Pie, Election and even South Park, keep with stuff that might be ok for kids (I think) while not being censored. Well, enough of that, I had enough of that with Coyote Ugly. Anyway, The plot surrounds a 5-time champion cheerleading tem the Torros (led by a talented yet misused Kirsten Dunst) who have just found out by no fault of they're own that there cheers are actuallt rip-offs of a black team's (another case of the white stealing from the blacks in a hidden message). Some things happen though to help out the Torros, including the hiring of an illegal choreographer (and not getting any punishment at all) and some other dumb plot lines. While the dancing is somewhat entertaining, the story to back it up smells more than a indian cabbie driving for 72 hours straight. Wacthing this film, and getting dumber and dumber comedy along the way, i yearned for some good things to come out, and nothing came. Which is why this might seem good to some (mainly the hot bodied and no-brained cheerleaders whbo try to have a film to life connection) but others should beware like a dog in heat. D
