As Rainhas da Torcida

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

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.

I've watched more than 2,000 movies and this one here is good. It keeps the movie simple. It's silly, funny, and an easy watch. No complex storytelling or in depth character creation. However, the movie does a great job at not tanking to a bland film. You got fun, drama, jokes, dancing, and love.

This is a movie I would've watched with my grandmother and would have enjoyed it at any age watching it with her. However, my wife and I watched it at 25 & 23 and both liked this movie. I can pretty much watch any genre and liked this one. Maybe it's not a summer blockbuster, or one you will watch a dozen times over. But nonetheless watch it!

Not only is this a good movie but it also does prove a point and that's to "keep moving" don't grow old and do the same mundane stuff every day till you die. Enjoy life, get out, do something crazy and fun. Enjoy the life you've been given. Enjoy the company around you.

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.

Poms- my Review Rating 6.5

After seeing Diane Keaton's last romp with the sisters film "Book Club "and loathing it I was reluctant to see another peppy feel good chronologically challenged "women's movie" or men's movie after the horrible recent " Swimming With Men movie" but this was much better ?

I just can't resist Jacki Weaver,possibly Australias most underrated Hollywood export ever who has forged ahead with a fabulous Hollywood career since Animal Kingdom and Silver Linings Playbook which earned her 2 Oscar nominations.

I remember her from many stage performances in Australia like Born Yesterday and They're Playing Our Song." We don't often get to see her great sense of comedy.( in fact I remember her as a pop diva on Australian bandstand singing hits like My Boy Lollipop 🍭

In this film which she steals from Diane Keaton with her natural comedic talent she plays Sheryl a heart of gold rough diamond who befriends the sad scared (Want to be left alone Martha ) after she sells up her home and moves to a retirement community to die. They form a cheerleading club Poms and have a lot of fun and connection to other elderly women on the way. Yes it's another Let's Put on a Show and show em movie with a lightweight script but it has some very funny moments .

It's not a film for young people but unlike Book Club if has a heart . Its not a great film a little silly and sentimentality times but we enjoyed it . It certainly doesn't deserve some of the awful reviews I've read about it and as the couple in the lift said after the movie "wasn't it fun? So nice to go to a feel good movie "

and yes it was - Entertaining-
