merklekranz Review of Pep Squad

Pep Squad (1998)

Not a poor man's "Heathers" ..... it is just poor ..................

[1/10 · 14 November 2010]

Disillusioned student stereotypes take matters into their own hands, kidnapping and killing follow. The question has to be, who would care about such weak characters, where one is just as unlikable as the other? Add to this apathy, annoying hand held cameras, a soundtrack that sounds no better than a child's tom tom, and a script that appears to have been made up as it went along. The acting by all concerned, could not even be described as amateurish, but simply bad. All violence occurs off screen, only adding to the ineptitude on display. "Pep Squad" should not be considered in the same sentence with a great black comedy like "Heathers". This is not a poor man's "Heathers" ,it is just poor. - MERK
