Cert 15
Comedy/Romance
Best friends Shawn (Nicholas D’Agosto) and Nick (Eric Christian Olsen) are the star athletes at Gerald R Ford High School and have exploited their demi-god status to bed most of the girls.
With the help of Shawn’s sister Poppy (Juliette Goglia), the pals join the less-than-impressive Tigers cheerleading squad captained by Carly (Sarah Roemer), one of the few girls to rebuff their barrage of compliments.
Freedom Jones’s screenplay lacks personality, gay characters are limp-wristed stereotypes who whoop: “I love the smell of pom-poms in the morning!”
The best lines are repeated verbatim from the brilliant Kirsten Dunst comedy ‘Bring It On’. We’re suddenly reminded what a poor imitation this is.
Star Rating: 3/5
