pep squad be at a very low point with it confuse plot line and horrible acting . first and let tackle the character . cherry ( brooke balderson ) continue to hold an outrageous and boil anger throughout the entire film and which be due to her overwhelming passion to become prom queen . however and it become completely unknown to the audience why cherry want to become prom queen in the first place . before the nomination be even read off and she storm around the school with a constant disinterest upon be there and and show no interest in the place or it student to begin with . why do she care so much to be their prom queen . brooke balderson apparently present an acclaimed performance but in reality just spend the entire time with an angry face and stomp around and kill people . maybe it just me and but i think if you hand any young actor or actress a script that only require him or her to act insanely angry and youre not ask for much . youre also not allow the character to develop very well . beth character and play by jennifer dreiling and be even bad . dreiling show absolutely no emotion and no connection to her character whatsoever . when be harass by her principal and she knock him down ( after several second ) with no feeling of disgust or shock or anything equally traumatize . her line be read like she be read trivia off the back of a cereal box . throughout the rest of the film and the student in charge of his kidnap sound more like they be plan a barbecue than decide what they will do with their principal and sit tie up in their basement . meanwhile and cherry be off kill several female prom queen candidate and and no one even notice or care . ( yeah and i get it and i get it and the whole town be worry about prom . very realistic . at least you could throw in some funny scene with the cop and but that might be ask too much . ) for example and right after cherry drive by the school and shoot down a handful of student and beth be find be interview by the local medium . the reporter mention the shooter in a way that make it seem like no one know who kill these innocent student and but then one second later ask and what do you think about gun in the hand of minor . or something to that effect . where do the reporter jump to such conclusion . at the end of the movie and after cherry kill the win prom queen and prom be deem over and with the medium show up again and beth simply add that she understand ( cherry ) need to be hear and walk away with her friend and smoke cigarette in a calm and unaltered mood . no one be even stray by the fact that they just witness a murder . not to mention the student constantly park in a yellow zone and and no one seem to care that there be a sudden rise in violence in the town and julie living in a large house with no parent present and and the bizarre party at her house ( maybe i be a little left out of the scene and but last time i knew and high school party do not involve naked woman artistically dance in a pool of water while men bob for marshmallow and everyone basks in their i be so indie and mod attitude ) and beth parent horrible act with her mother acting over the top and her father simply nod at everything the mother have to say ( and not in an entertaining way either ) and along with stupid scene such a the new black principal run after cherry a she try to shoot her with a gun . yes . very realistic . the only compliment i can give this movie be that the photography be wonderful . the angle be flatter and the screen be very clear and crisp with each shot . too bad the acting and script aren not .
