Pom-Pom Ladies

The first trailer I saw months ago barely hinted at a cheerleading theme, it was more about the retirement community. "Have the time of life for the rest of your life". Now it's more about the cheerleading than I thought it would be but I really enjoyed it. I'm an amputee in a wheelchair and my 76 year old mother (who is extremely active) went to see it today. We both had a great time. There should be movies that aren't violence, explosions, and superheroes.

It was just plain fun to watch. Not an Academy Award movie, of course, but fun. No sex scenes, little bit of language. Just fun and lighthearted. Jacki Weaver was really good.

I really enjoyed this movie. Sure it's not bringing anything new to the genre, but I wasn't expecting it too be anything more than it was. All of the actresses have lived wonderful lives and have accomplished so much in their careers it's great to see such strong women in a movie. I could be a little biased, as I just recently lost my grandmother to cancer, and this movie reminded me why I loved her so much. This is like the perfect movie to watch when you're having a lazy day at the house and want something feel good while you stay cozy. Like a big warm blanket. In my opinion, those are some of the best movie out there.

I took my mom to this for Mother's Day as per her request, and fully expected a very hokey chick flick with zero plot, etc. To my delight it ended up being very funny, a bit of a tear-jerker at one point, and overall a cute movie that I'd probably watch again with my mom or girlfriends. I'd call it lightly empowering for females, especially senior women, and overall just really fun.

Not quite sure why the scores for this movie is so low. I really enjoyed it.
