Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Coventry I'm actually surprised that films like "Porky's" and "American Pie" are so popular and notorious while there also exist movies like this! Watch "The Cheerleaders" ONCE and you're guaranteed to have a new 'standard' – if you can call it that – for insignificant sexploitation comedies. This is a shamelessly gratuitous and incredibly indecent comedy that makes you wonder (with great sadness) why this sort of stuff never happened to you in high-school. I never got attacked on the school bus by a horny redhead because she wanted to show her friend how to grab a guy's attention. None of my sister's hot friends never walked into my room half naked and requesting if I needed any help with masturbation, neither. What went wrong during my adolescent years?!? Anyway, the plot of "The Cheerleaders" is relatively unimportant. The girls of the Amorosa high school cheerleader team take their duties very seriously. They spend most of their days, not with studying of course, but with pom-pom practice and hanging out at the local diner to pick up hunky guys to have meaningless sex with. Young Jeannie dreams of joining the cheerleader club, as she's the last virgin in school and being a cheerleader reputedly helps to get laid. I guess losing your virginity can be the biggest and most essential mission for an intelligent and beautiful young high school girl… You can guess how the rest of the movie evolves. Jeannie narrowly has sex numerous times, but something always prevents it from happening at the very last moment, like peeping tom daddies or exploding water beds. But have no pity for poor Jeannie, as there's a great mission awaiting her on the days of the football team's most important game. The main reason why "The Cheerleaders" was (and still is) such an genuine drive-in crowd pleaser is because the film is a 100% unpretentious and ecstatic piece of entertainment. You know how this sort of films usually look like they feature a lot of playful sex and sleazy footage but eventually don't offer all that much? Well, "The Cheerleaders" completely isn't like that. There is a lot of sex, varying from sort-core to slightly-harder-core, and a whole lot of downright raunchy insinuations. All the cheerleaders look irresistibly ravishing – except for the tall blond lesbian wench who actually looked more like a transvestite – and they spend their entire screen time wearing either a very enticing cheerleader outfit or … nothing at all. The redhead is the crazy one (she has sex with the bus driver on the job), the brunette is the kinky one (sex with the coach amidst his playing tactics), the black girl is the gorgeous one and Jeannie is the one with "enough wool to knit a sweater with" ; if you know what I mean. If you ain't convinced yet, I don't know what will.

jfgibson73 The Cheerleaders is a terrible movie. If you are reading this review, you must be interested in it for the camp value, or because it was made in the 70's.This is a very lowbrow comedy about a girl trying to fit in with the school cheerleading team by losing her virginity. There is a lot of sex and nudity. The main plot point involves the cheerleaders having sex with every member of the high school football team. This leaves the players too exhausted to perform in the big game, so to even it up, the girls find everyone on the opposing team and have sex with them as well.What allowed me to keep watching this all the way to the end was the 70's atmosphere. Yes, this is about as dumb as a movie can get, but it isn't like anything being made today.Similar recommendations: Gas Pump Girls and The Vals.

estabansmythe "The Cheerleaders" was the greatest drive-in film ever produced! It played at several of our local San Gabriel Valley drive-in theatres throughout the '70s. In the summer, you stood an excellent chance of finding it on a double bill on at least a monthy basis at one of our half-dozen area drive-ins.This film had the perfect tone: a wild & wacky, tongue-in-cheeck (or somewhere) sex comedy - with tons of sex and nudity ( and oodles of over-the top comedy).None of the knock-out babes in the cast was every going to win an Oscar, but who cares? They were certainly good enough to pull this plot off convincingly.And the plot? The title cheerleaders decided to elect as a replacement cheerleader who got pregnant a virgin; a shy, introverted cute little wallflower (Stephanie Fondue...great name). The story takes place just before the Big Game.So the girls figure they'd do their bit to help (anything for the team, right!) by nailing every member of the opposing team the night before the Big Game, so they'd be too pooped to play at the top of their game- and so, they'd lose.As plots go, "The Cheerleaders" ain't Shakespeare, but it's good enough here - and it's good enough for me.I've been thinking. If anyone of the girls was to have won an Oscar, it would have been Denise Dilloway as Claudia, the "Head" Cheerleader. She was terrific! For those of you enjoy this type or genre of entertainment, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more entertaining sex comedy! Lobg live the drive-in theatre!!!

Smooth B This movie was a little nugget of joy that came across my screen last night. The plot was--well, let's be serious here--nonexistent, but the campy nature of the movie won me over. I immediately thought of "Night Calls: The Movie" and its sequel when I watched this film. Then again, it reminded me of "Debbie Does Dallas", without the actual genitals being shown.The story is elementary--a group of cheerleaders....um....er, what are they doing again? I'm sorry, another one of them just had sex with a football player, or in a guy's car while the car is in the car wash, or a guy wearing nothing but a jockstrap...etc. This was what a cheerleader movie was supposed to be, guys. A bunch of horny girls having sex with anything remotely resembling a man.The central character is a youngish looking girl looking to lose her virginity. The other girls look at her in shock. The rest of the movie follows her exploits as she looks to "make it" with a guy for the first time.These girls make no attempt to be actresses; in fact, I thought this was a porno when the film started (better yet, I actually thought I was watching "Debbie Does Dallas"). The guys in this flick are all looking to get laid, and our faithful cheerleaders happily obliged them. What was their big scheme right before the big football game? To sleep with as many players on the other team as possible in order to tire them out. If only my old high school cheerleading squad was THAT accomodating, maybe we would have won the state championship.I don't think this film is gonna be coming on again any time soon, but I feel privileged that I was able to see it.Sex: A+ (Plenty of scenes, seemingly one right after another. These cheerleaders just don't quit!)Women: B- (The downer--the women didn't look all that good. Then again, it was the 70's when this movie was made, so I guess they were hot by 70's standards.)Story: F (What story? You mean all that talking in between the sex scenes? Not quite story material, but all the sex more than made up for it.)Overall: A (I'm still giving the film an A because everything was played for laughs, even a couple of the sex scenes. A sexy, funny film--basically everything most recent sex comedies try to be but can't really pull off effectively.)
