"The Good Things
*Includes a making-of documentary and a trailer.
*The movie has a fair amount of action, comedy (although nothing really hilarious), and drama.
*Photography is good. Editing style is neat, including some funky transitions (reminds me a little bit of the "Charlie's Angels" movies).
*Characters are not bad; they seem to be well-acted. Writing is not bad.
*Good music.
The Bad Things
*Story line is quite thin (not that it really matters).
*Not for kids. Contains nudity and swearing (this film is unrated).
The Questionable Things
*DVD video and sound quality are just okay.
*Includes some cliches, especially with the mobsters. There are also some really cheesy scenes and lines throughout. I'm sure some parts are horribly inaccurate or irrational. Don't expect anything too intelligent.
So who wouldn't want to see a trio of hot young high-school-senoir-cheerleaders who can beat people up? Add in a little bit of drama, comedy, gratuitous nudity in the transitions, and a number of stripping scenes, and what do we get? A low-rate film that succeeds at being a guilty pleasure. It is mindless entertainment; nothing more and nothing less. If you're not into that sort of thing, watch "Charlie's Angels" instead. Still not into that sort of thing, then you seriously shouldn't even be here. But if this is your sort of thing, give it a try, for it is generally well-made."
Fun movie

"This is a fun movie about 3 jr. college cheerleaders and their adventures as they try to make money for grad school."
Awesome Movie

"If you pay attention, the dialogue is well done and subtle. Hot junior college babes. Strippers. Ninjas. Cheerleaders. Plot uses stereotypes perfectly. The interplay between the girls is really fun. If Reese Witherspoon were the star, this movie would reach the status of LEGALLY BLONDE. The three actresses are great.
This movie is two things: 1)Fun, and 2) entertaining."
Not bad at all!

"Three junior college girls trying to raise money to pay to transfer to Brown University and begin their future is a good premise for a movie. Throw in a mobster who has stolen their "Brown" money and wants to take their sensei's bar and the big stripper contest that will help them raise the final bit of money needed to attend Brown and you have a pretty good late night movie. I caught this at like 2a on a Saturday night and stayed up to watch the entire movie. Much of the story is told in flashback which actually adds a great deal to the humour. I enjoyed their interactions with the police, with the sailors, and with the bad guys. I also enjoyed their priorities: 1) College Finals, 2) Stripper contest=$50,000, and then 3) kicking bad guy butt! It wasn't deep, but I feel with better direction (and some better writing) the movie could definitely be kicked up to sleeper hit. I enjoyed it and I will buy it because sometimes you need a little Ninja Cheerleaders in your life...and my Amazon Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death is getting worn out! Now, excuse me while I go see Matt Damon sing "Scotty Doesn't Know" from EuroTrip. Cheers!"
