But the main problem of this movie is underdevelopment of certain characters like 'SKY' but the acting wasn't bad
If you are in to cheer leading or want to see a cheerleader movie with good cheer leading action go for it and you will not be disappointed.This not a great movie but it is watchable And i give it a 4.5/10 rating
However, this movie went beyond formulaic. It bordered on offensive to both my eyes and ears.
The acting was sub-par and not believable in any way. The stereotypes and the accents made me cringe...and at times, made me out-right laugh.
I've never been as bored when watching a dance sequence before. It was sloppy and made me want to sleep until they where over.
This movie should be buried in that hole where they buried all those Atari E.T. games.
A waste of time, effort of everyone involved and money. People should lose their jobs over this steaming stinker.
First off, setting up the story is poorly done for this movie. The writers failed to set up the story by excluding important details eg: it's not explained how Lina's Mom and rich stepdad met since they come from different socioeconomic worlds. So how did they meet?
In general, the characters need more depth, but maybe there's an exception for a cheerleading movie. The character growth is underdeveloped but central themes of love, friendship, and family kept this movie together.
The acting is good, but the scenes didn't make sense eg: How did these teenagers have their party at a club? Yet sodas were on the tables lol. The characters were over the top with Latino stereotypes from East LA. But I LOVE the dancing, LOVE the music, and Christina Millan is hot when she appears on the screen. And I love Lina's friends!
My biggest complaint is that the movie has too many Latino stereotypes throughout. Overall, this movie deserved it's current 5/10 rating because the consistent stereotypes were offensive and uncomfortable to watch.
Anyway, I hope my review was helpful :)

- TriviaThe movie was filmed at locations around Malibu.
- GoofsCatalina says she's Cuban-American, but she uses words or slang that are not Cuban at all. For example, she says "SOIS familia" which is, in Spanish, the second-person plural that is only used by people from Spain. Cubans would have said "SON familia" meaning "YOU are family." She also says "Orale," which is a common interjection in Mexican slang only.

Catalina 'Lina' Cruz: This is Sea Lion territory. Don't ever shake your conceited Jag butt over here again!
Avery: Excuse me. Then who's supposed to show your school what a real squad looks like?
Kayla: Not this mariachi band.
Treyvonetta: [aggressively] You're so lucky I found Jesus.
Gloria: [pulls the antagonists apart] Hey, hey, hey...!
Treyvonetta: I didn't use my hands!
Gloria: All right! But you can't *fight* girls like this. They press charges.
Avery: Right. Run away.
