Darn it, I was really kinda hoping Stick It might be good

First of all, because it really makes me feel good to see a film promoted as "from the writer of..." for obvious reasons. Second, Bring It On, written by Jessica Bendinger who also directed this new movie, was so much better than it probably needed to be.

Lesser movies would've just brought in the teenage cheerleaders, and called it a day. But it turned out to be a really funny comedy with just the right attitude about itself. It might be one of the only teen comedies of the last 15 years worthy of comparison to The Top High School Nostalgia Movies.

But, if the talismanic Tomatometer is anything to go by, Stick It is a "Wait-for-the-dvd-if-there-are-any-interesting-bonus-features, otherwise-cable"

Ah well.
