Dying to be a Cheerleader

Some lifetime movies are pretty good but I've never seen one so over AND under acted in my life! 🤔 The beginning scene where Darcy has a rag shoved in her mouth to stop her from screaming is so ridiculous and unrealistic, I LOL'd. How many women (and she is a woman, she doesn't even look like a teenager to me!) do you know, in this day and age, would keep a washcloth in their mouth that isn't even duct-taped to their heads? One knows one's first reaction would be to push it out with one's tongue in order to scream! It's an automatic reflex so one doesn't gag or smother! 🙄Watching this girl keep this rag in her mouth scene after scene had me in stitches! 😂 Also, the school fights between Darcy and her protagonist- so dumb and unrealistic! 😒Was LAMO 😂😂 Also, in this day and age, it would not have been hair pulling and rolling around on the ground, it would have been flat out punching in the face or some kind of defensive moves! 😐 This is supposed to be a cheerleading movie but even the few cheerleading moves that they bothered to show were gauche.

And the principal, what a joke! After Darcy and the protagonists little rolling around scene on the ground, he made them get up and apologize like third graders! 😳These ladies are in high school! In the real world you would have had your ass suspended and sent home! All he gave them was detention which the director never bother to show.

The only redeeming factor in this movie was that the psycho who was harming and killing the cheerleaders, was kind of a mystery. It was something that you did not guess right away though it didn't take long.
