In this case, it's a dance team, and the draw here of course are the many dance numbers strung throughout the course of plot and action. This is another in a long line of feel-good films wherein a down-and-out school team overcomes a variety of difficulties and rises to victory. All in all, we could not identify with any of the characters and felt that a bad example was set by every character including the principal! Disney - what were you thinking? The main character of the "tough girl" was so annoying my teenage daughter and I could hardly keep from smacking the TV set in response to her antics. The girls consistently were rewarded for awful behavior. While wearing a bad wig with a style from the 60's, she exhibited mostly blank expressions while allowing these generally rude, disrespectful and obnoxious girls to walk all over her.

One of the flaws that I saw was that in the movie, the characters are supposed to be playing 9th graders, when they look like they are 18 or 19. The dancers in the film which are also the actresses perform just as professionals do. The choreography was very well taught and learned. Even though the movie is centered on dance and cheer leading, it still has a great story to tell. This movie has a lot of Spanish and Hispanic people in it.
