If viewing cheerleaders turns you no, then go watch a football game. You'd have none and buckleys chance of transforming "The Ducks" into a winning combination. However, filming such a movie as this would have been I guess - fascinating! Especially to be surrounded by numerous girls, which is hopefully why Mark Keyloun signed on for this idiocy. I, too, as an actor, would've done the same thing without regarding the consequences to follow afterwards. Perhaps, I may have never worked again in Hollywood, like most of this cast!
Okay, I'm kidding, the film is a cheap "Meatballs" ripoff that's beyond bad. I had to see it because I went to junior high school with one of the female leads, a snotty actress who thought she was going to be the next Meryl Streep. This was as far as she ever got. I suspect she now thinks she did one movie too many. Hahahaha! Neener neener! That inside joke is the biggest laugh you'll get from this movie.
A cult classic amongst my friends and I, this movie is hilarious and fun. Don't watch it too seriously, and you'll love it. The cheerleading aspect is cool to watch, and the jokes and pranks are funny. Slightly reminiscent of Porky's. And remember, "D is for Duck".
Although this movie is like 18 years old, I just saw it for the first time. Honestly, I didn't think it was all that bad. I mean, sure, some of the acting was the pits, but what can we expect from a low budget 80's flick? This was just another one of those teen movies that mainly focused on sex and having fun. This movie isn't for everyone. Only those who appreciate a cheesy low budget movie need watch it. I give this movie a 7 out of 10 because really, it wasn't all that terrible!
Maybe you'd have to be a person who was born in the early 80's or late 70's, but this film is classic. So many comedic elements that are funny either because they're blatantly intended or just unintended. Any of the bad acting that occurs that have been mentioned in previous reviews is fantastic. If you're the type of person that can laugh at certain specific bad acting, timing, scripts, etc. then believe me, this is one of those movies that entails such humours. I can't believe I haven't seen this 80's flick yet. Most of them are so great, but this one tops the cake :P. I highly recommend watching it drunk when you're more likely to be more open and accepting, as the way humans should be. =D Enjoy.
