As the film opens, Torrance falls in love with the new guy in town,
Cliff Pantone (Jesse Bradford), but she's already got a boyfriend,
Aaron (Richard Hillman), who's gone off to college a year ahead of her.
Surprise, surprise, he's cheating on her, but what does that matter if she has
a new beau of her own? Well, it matters to Cliff when he finds out she's still
seeing Aaron, but while Aaron's shown the red card when HE gets found out,
there's no such punishment for Torrance since teen-love for the good guys
always works out in a film like this.
When a cheerleader is injured and a replacement is required, they take on the
ugly duckling who turns into a swan, Missy (Eliza Dushku) and blow me
down if she isn't the brother of Cliff, which causes all sorts of niggles later
on until everything's all sugar, spice and all things nice (!)
On top of the weight of insipidness, the girls' victorious plan to win the
contest is blown sky-high because... departing captain Big Red stole all their
moves from another team, from East Compton, an all-black team who use phrases
like "Hey girl", that sort of attitude and you expect them to start shouting
about getting down on the hood, etc. They're plenty pissed and show da attitude
with their lead shouter Isis (Gabrielle Union).
Yo! Get down with da ho, gurl(!) Pur-lease! It's enough to give you a headache
as the enforced rivalry kicks in and our heroines have to learn a new routine,
then the same thing happens again elsewhere courtesy of loony-tune choreographer
Sparky Polastri (Ian Roberts) and finally, when we get to the
big do at the end, everyone ends up happy friends.
Oh - and I didn't know that cheerleading squad's could contain men, so how
much would you bet that one of them will turn out to be as camp as a row of
tents? There's also the token bitchy bitches in the form of Courtney (Clare Kramer)
and Whitney (Nicole Bilderback)
I'm now screaming inside!
After watching the film I've now almost lost the will to live, but I'll
struggle to continue with this.
There are no particular problems with the picture or sound but it's not
spectacular. The film is presented in the original 1.85:1 ratio and is
anamorphic.
The average bitrate is 7.69Mb/s occasionally peaking over 9Mb/s.
The sound comes in both DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1 flavours for English, but French
is DD 5.1 only. The music contains many cheerleader chants.
There are quite a few extras, but if the film bored you as much as me would
you want to watch them? As well as the obligatory trailer, music video (by
Blaque) and a making-of documentary, there's a director's commentary
from director Peyton Reed, plus extra footage in Deleted Scenes,
Extended Scenes, Never-Before-Seen Home Movies of the Car Wash Scene, Wardrobe
and Make-up Tests, a "Did You Know That?" section and DVD-ROM
content which includes a screensaver and "cheer quiz".
The 20 chapters are fine, there are subtitles in English, the main menu contains
music but none of the rest do, nor are any animated.
