Probably the best cheerleader movie ever, despite the fact that Kristen Dunst, is the most awkward looking cheerleader ever.*  And why hasn’t Eliza Dushku broken out from her Joss Whedon work, she’s so incredibly alluring?  Overall, a very good piece of confection.

Cost: $2.75 from Videorama
Where watched: at home during the snow day.  This double feature (with Clueless) was brought to you by the interview with Nicole Bilderback on the “I Was There Too” podcast.

*I remember this from the first time I watched this.  I think it has something to do with her incredibly long arms.

I was very interested in the posters from other countries. Germany features the cheerleading uniforms, but it’s called Girls United.

 

Whereas France has no uniforms and calls it American Girls.  I hope Tom Petty fans in France weren’t confused.

Twenty years later and this movie still hits all the right notes.  Sure, Paul Rudd hasn’t really settled into his beloved screen persona, but this is the movie that caused him to imprint on all women of a certain age, so we’ll let it slide.*  We all talk on our cell phones now as much as Cher and Dionne did then, but thank goodness the nose jobs aren’t as prominent.

*Also, the age difference between Cher and Josh and the fact that they were once step-siblings is just the slightest big creepy.  But we’ll overlook it because of the imprinting.
