La reine du lycée veut ma peau

Darcy wants to try out for the cheer squad and makes a bad enemy of Taylor, who's the captain of the squad and who also is jealous and feels threatened by her. Then an accident and murder happen and Darcy becomes a target and more accusations pile up against her. Is Taylor behind it all? You'll have to tune in to find out. Above-average for a Lifetime movie with a good script and some fresh faces.

I had a serious belly laugh on this movie: one girl says to the other, "I have a boyfriend!" The other girl tells her, "with that face!" It struck me funny and worth watching this rubbish just for that! Classic line!

I've watched probably ALL of the Lifetime network cheerleader genre movies, this one is a *slight* standout among most. Deliciously aweful teen angst amidst the popular beautiful jock in-crowd, wrapped in a 'whodunnit' twist (that surprisingly took me a little longer than usual to figure out!)

Acting from this relatively young, green cast is pretty good, B+/A-, plot twist was not 100% predictable, and the overall production was one of the better among the LMN cookie cutter teen cheer genre. I regard these movies as Junkfood - no oscar winning performances, but entertaining to poke fun & giggle at!

my only real criticism is that there's not enough actual CHEER scenes in this (as it IS a cheerleader oriented movie!), but there are a couple of 'standard' LMN scenes where we get to hear Lifetime's standard cheer soundtrack music.. also, my guess is they're reusing the same couple of actual real athletes (flyers, tumblers etc) in any real cheering scenes as in all other recent LMN cheer movies.. it's a theory haha. :)

Overall, I'd give it a B+ grade. have fun binging it along with all your other cheer-faves!

A likable cast can lift a so-so script into a watchable movie. That what happens with "Dying to be a Cheerleader". The script is paint-by-numbers Lifetime fare but the cast is very appealing, especially a dreamy Ashlynn Yennie. Yennie isn't given much to do in the first half of the movie but she gets a lot more screen time in the second half. The second half the story picks up as well. Overall, I enjoyed watching "Dying to be a Cheerleader" but I'm not so sure it's going to get a second watch from me.

This must have been written by a twelve (12) year old because the plot was so thin than even a Grade 5 child could figure out who the whack job was in this thriller DULLER. Girls can be so caddy and petty and I guess that is why these type of dull and boring killer cheerleader films are made every year.

I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.
