    OK late-70's knock-ff of "The Pom Pom Girls"

    This film recently appeared on a DVD with "King Frat". The latter movie is much more of a "cult" film, but the two are actually very similar--"King Frat" is a shameless ripoff of "Animal House" at a small fraction of the budget, while this is a shameless ripoff of the more obscure (but relatively successful in its day) Crown International picture "The Pom-Pom Girls".

    As any aficionado of 70's cheerleader movies can tell you, the "genre" can really be broken up into two parts--the earlier cheerleader movies. that followed the original "The Cheerleaders", which were pretty much pure softcore sex romps aimed at dirty old men, and the ones that followed "The Pom-Pom Girls", which were aimed at least partially at actual teenage drive-in movie-goers, so they had less sex and took more frequent breaks from ogling nubile female cheerleaders to engage in a lot of free-spirited teen hijinks. This movie is obviously more like "The Pom-Pom Girls" (not that there's nothing here for dirty old men to enjoy) in that the main protagonists are a group of ridiculously overaged high school jocks who all co-own a boogie van which they put pussycat stickers on to indicate each of the girls they've scored with. The conflict comes when one of the boys actually falls in love with the new girl (Rhonda Foxx), who also happens to be the strict, new coach's daughter.

    This movie probably won't endear itself with too many feminists (especially,the scene where the boys wager their own cheerleaders on the outcome of a football game with a rival school), but it's generally a harmless, somewhat idyllic look at male adolescence in the late 1970's. It's not as good as "The Pom Pom Girls" or as nearly as sex-saturated as "The Cheerleaders", but it's OK overall

    A total waste of celluoid

    This film had almost nothing to do with cheering or cheerleaders. The acting was completely sub standard. Almost no attempt was even slightly made to make the plot interesting. I can't believe I go suckered twice into seeing this movie and buying the video, based on the title. Anyone who even thinks about wanting to see this film is a fool.

    • Trivia
      Wayne Crawford claimed in a 2013 interview that he used his film alias of 'Scott Lawrence' instead of his real name for the small role of the chemistry teacher, Mr. Stephano, because he was a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and this project was a non-union movie.
