The jokes were clever and witty and the 2 leads were fun to watch but, sadly this movie and all of its wit, fell victim to what A LOT of other funny movies fell victim to at that time, the love interest. I don't know why movies have to drop all the potential jokes whenever one of the leads falls in love. Because the second a funny/witty character falls in love, the jokes stop being entertaining and just become lame. The movie was silly and poked fun at stereotypes and once again the movie shined in the beginning and middle but, when I get to the ending, everything fun just took a nose dive to the ground. I left feeling disappointed.

Shawn Colfax (Nicholas D'Agosto) and Nick Brady (Eric Christian Olsen) are high school best friends football players, and players with the girls. Football camp is going to be moved to El Paso. It's two weeks with no girls and lots of hard work. After overhearing the girls talk about cheer camp, the guys decide join. The captain Carly (Sarah Roemer) is suspicious. With sister Poppy (Juliette Goglia)'s help, the girls Bianca (Danneel Ackles), Sylvia (Margo Harshman) and Angela (Hayley Marie Norman) convince the coach that they need the boys to win over Carly's objection. The camp is run by husband and wife couple Diora (Molly Sims) and Keith (John Michael Higgins). The big competition is the Panthers captained by bitchy Gwyneth (AnnaLynne McCord).Writer/director Will Gluck puts up a good effort that is better than most cheerleading teen movies. It's filled with fast talking jokes and the guys do the buddy comedy well. Naked cheerleading in front of John Michael Higgins is hilarious. However it never gets beyond the genre. It's not deeper than a simple uninspired teen raunchy comedy.

This is one of the more disappointing movies I've seen in my entire life. I don't know what's more offensive, the portrayal of gay and lesbian teens or the fact that they expect us to believe that a 30 year old Eric Christian Olsen and a 27 year old Nicholas D'Agosto are high school students. All this plus a poorly misplaced John Michael Higgins who is given absolutely nothing to work with. This movie is virtually plot less until the last 40 minutes and it's not even a good plot then. The ending is boring, anticlimactic and, in some aspects, downright insulting to the audience.The worst part is the message: there is none. There's no clear theme or lesson in this story. Every character ended pretty much the same way as they started with almost nothing to gain from the experience.On the bright side, I do have to congratulate the one million monkeys for successfully banging on one million typewriters for one million years to produce this textbook raunchy teen movie. You all have truly earned your one million bananas.

I've had a lot of fun watching this movie. I must admit I wasn't expecting Oscar-like material and character build-up. This sort of movies is made for the fun of watching. And it sure is. The story line is pretty straight forward and predictable, but the way it is presented is what it is all about. That has been done nicely. There's enough to laugh, nice jokes and situations, it's share of one-liners and lots of eye-candy (everything very decent). The actors, though a bit old for their role, put it down great and it looks like they had a lot of fun making this movie. If your in for a fun uncomplicated movie that's got some nice girls to look at this is the one.
