NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Uriah43 Wanting desperately to put some zest into her non-existent sex life "Jeannie" (Stephanie Fondue) decides to try out for the cheerleader squad at Amarosa High School. Luckily for her, the squad has just lost one of their cheerleaders due to a pregnancy and need someone who isn't sexually active. So Jeannie gets chosen. In the meantime all of the other cheerleaders are busy having sex with just about everybody while Jeannie watches from the proverbial sidelines awaiting her big chance. Anyway, rather than disclose the rest of the story I will just say that although this is the first movie in the "Cheerleaders trilogy" it doesn't have to be viewed first since none of the other films have any relationship to each other except for the fact that they have cheerleaders in them. As far as this particular movie is concerned--while there is a gratuitous sex scene about every five minutes--most of them weren't that good. On that note, the fact that half of the cheerleaders weren't very attractive had something to do with it. However, to be quite fair there were a few pretty ones with Denise Dillaway (as "Claudia"), Jovita Bush ("Bonnie") and the aforementioned Stephanie Fondue included in that category. But the low-budget nature of the film and the lack of humor in most of the scenes certainly didn't help matters either. Worth a look if a person enjoys films in this genre but other than that I rate it as slightly below average.
Boba_Fett1138 As far as these sort of trashy and sleazy. soft-core productions go, this was absolutely a great and a real fun one to watch.Of course the movie is being totally simplistic with its story and the movie is basically some total nonsense from start till finish but they at least managed to make it a very fun watch. Seriously, the movie is deliberately being more of a comedy, which was a true great approach for the movie to take with its silly concept. It's a soft-core flick, so that means it's mostly being filled with female nudity but the sex itself is never anything explicit or something that goes too far, unless you find the premise of the movie already an offensive one to begin with. And believe me, I can see how this can offend some people. Basically the message this movie is sending out is that all cheerleaders should be seen as sex-objects and they will do ANYTHING for the team, including sleeping with the opposing team to wear them out, the day before the game. Really, sex seems to be the only thing that's on the mind of these young girls. And when they don't have a cute guy around, they use the coach, or someones father, or each other, to get their pleasures.But key to liking this movie is to take nothing in this movie too seriously. And how could you really? It's often so silly and over-the-top, that you just can't ever take this movie seriously in any way.It's a movie that is filled with lots of sexual innuendos and sexual orientated jokes. And I must say, the movie make me laugh quite a lot. I won't exactly say that the movie was ever being very clever with its jokes but it often was something so silly and random that it actually really works out great, comedy-wise. The timing is really spot on at times and it's actually a pretty well made and directed movie, all things considering.Another reason why this movie just works out great and fun is because all of the girls are really fun to watch as well. I'm not just talking about it that they are pleasant and fun to look at but they also obviously had fun doing this movie, which shows on the screen and helps to make this an overall very fun experience. None of the acting is great but yet at the same time I can call it a really well cast movie because all of the girls suit their roles so very well. The movie besides did a great job at casting as many different looking girls as possible. It makes them easy to distinguish from each other and allows the movie to give each of them a more or less unique personality.Really truly one of the most fun movies I have seen in a while.7/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
estabansmythe "The Cheerleaders" was the greatest drive-in film ever produced! It played at several of our local San Gabriel Valley drive-in theatres throughout the '70s. In the summer, you stood an excellent chance of finding it on a double bill on at least a monthy basis at one of our half-dozen area drive-ins.This film had the perfect tone: a wild & wacky, tongue-in-cheeck (or somewhere) sex comedy - with tons of sex and nudity ( and oodles of over-the top comedy).None of the knock-out babes in the cast was every going to win an Oscar, but who cares? They were certainly good enough to pull this plot off convincingly.And the plot? The title cheerleaders decided to elect as a replacement cheerleader who got pregnant a virgin; a shy, introverted cute little wallflower (Stephanie Fondue...great name). The story takes place just before the Big Game.So the girls figure they'd do their bit to help (anything for the team, right!) by nailing every member of the opposing team the night before the Big Game, so they'd be too pooped to play at the top of their game- and so, they'd lose.As plots go, "The Cheerleaders" ain't Shakespeare, but it's good enough here - and it's good enough for me.I've been thinking. If anyone of the girls was to have won an Oscar, it would have been Denise Dilloway as Claudia, the "Head" Cheerleader. She was terrific! For those of you enjoy this type or genre of entertainment, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more entertaining sex comedy! Lobg live the drive-in theatre!!!
Brian Washington This film was a precursor to the teen sex comedy genre that would become popular a decade later. However, the difference between this film and the latter films is that at least the kids that were in those films would go on to become some of the finest actors that would ever grace the silver and small screens. These bimbos probably think The Actors Studio is an apartment house in west Hollywood. Also, I'm surprised that this film didn't get an X instead of an R. I guess, the fact that no genitalia was shown saved it because there were enough bare breasts in this turkey to make even Russ Meyer blush.
