I didn't have high expectations before watching but I was surprised. Sure there were a few spots where story skips and plot has a few blatant holes. But overall a cute movie and definitely made me chuckle.
I went to the theatre to watch this just to keep my family company. I expected to be bored for an hour and a half. This is not an epic movie with an epic story. Doesn't have award winning roles or a genius comedy. But it has such a good vibe to it and somewhat of a lesson to be learned for both youngsters and the elderly. I had to give it a good rating. I enjoyed this way more than I ever thought.
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.
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.

- TriviaInspired by the true story of the Sun City Poms, a cheer squad with members ranging in age from 55 to 88. The Poms were first formed back in the '70s, initially as part of the Sun City Saints women's softball team, per their website. Eventually, they became Arizona legends, performing at parades, conventions, sporting events, community meetings, fundraisers, and retirement living centers and care facilities.
- GoofsWhen Martha is stuck behind a golf cart upon her arrival, the camera cuts to a shot of her in her car from the side, but in this shot she's moving much faster and the background is totally different. It looks like the filmmakers simply inserted a shot of her on the freeway by a mountainside from earlier in the film.
