these words haunt me to this day, the painful memorys of verbal molestation from screaming teenage girls blinded by a heavy blindfold of perfect teeth and tight buttocks drill through my brain.... but what could cause this? why is it that everytime i see a wad of shredded red plastic im sent to the floor crying? why is it that every time i see a small gang of small uniformed girls jump up and down wailing wildly about team spirit i start screaming wildly yanking my hair out? it all lies under 3 words...

the biggest steaming pile of cliched cheerleader hi-jinks, racial stereotypes, pre-packaged high school social status politics and psuedo subliminal conformity propaganda i can think of at 1:29 am, so naturally i'll write a review on it at this time of night. bring the fun!

some gynamsium... cue cheer that would go through my brain like a magnum .45 a hundered and forty seven times a day from that point on...

enter torrance somethingorother (kirsten dunst), the herione of the film, the give-all, go-getter all american gal who stands for team work, school pride, tit jokes, conformity and sexual innuendo! yay! go team go!, torrence takes the stage and we learn from red head ***** stereotype that she is passing the sacred postion of team captain on our torrence. aww. but can she handle this kind of pressure? can our herione cope with the constant pressure that come with captaining a high school cheerleading team? golly, i sure do hope so.

enter Eliza Dushku... the black mannered, edgy,"diffrent girl", her character appropriated non-conformist views make it perfect sense on why she chooses to turn in her current life style for the plastic lifestyle of a cheerleader she apprently hates so much!... she tries out for the team, and our golden girl torrance gives her a shot at becoming one step closer to the warm glow of popularity driven teen culture, much to the dismay of blonde slut stereotype and asian closet-anorexic girl.

enter Nathan West, the individual geek guy, also shares a strong sense of anti-consumersim/non-conformity , displayed as he instantly falls in love with a girl that stands against everything his character is made of... excellent script development... proving to us all that you can always dress like a certain type of social catagorey and act like another, its your classical wolf in sheeps clothing, kiddies! why be yourself when it so much easier to copy some one else? like, individulaity is so like, hard and stuff.

With our 3 main characters 'developed' were taken entirely into the wonderful world of cheerleading.. the ups, the downs, the gratitous pantie shots...

heres where the films conflict comes in. after torrance and her super gang of cheerleading dynamo power show their 'wonderful' cheer to dushku she storms out, closet anorexic asian girla nd blonde slut stereotype scoff at our herione and make snide remarks about her judgment as captain (and really, its justified.. as i say, if you cant captain a cheerleading team properly, how can you expect to get anywhere in life?!) after a small conflict between the two dusku commands dunst into her car where they drive to african-american tennager high, and much to the disgust of torrance, we find out that red haired ***** stereotype has been stealing cheers from our plucky negro teaam for however long htey said it was, after being confronted and cliche dialoge is traded the gaunlet is layed down "bring it on".... oooh... sassy.

and with this icky cancer endangering her pretty plastic world, torrance is left in a state of extreme stress and confusion.. shes left in the cold.. with no cheers and a quickly approaching championship on its way... she has no options, she is without hope... BUT HEY! that shouldnt get in the way of boys! as we see dunst and west flirt like eigth graders were reminded that we all live in a world where relationships are created over something as deep and meaningful as brushing ones teeth, and the fact that you already ave a significant other shouldnt get in the way of getting some action on the side, *sigh*, ain't love grand? and with these 2 potential lovebird restingtheir heads they lightly drift off into a slumber.. where no doubt they both lightly flew through each others dreams, and if this movie is staying true to stereotypical male actions, no doubt wests dream would be a couple of shades more X-rated than dunst's.

and with dunst and her gangs credibility shot, their cheers gone and morale at an all time low, dunst resorts to calling her possible-homostereotypecheerleaderboyfreind and he recommends that she call some guy... which she does... things are looking up kids!
