This is really one of my favorite movies ever. <br /><br />If I was picking a single shot I loved though, it would have to be when Isis and the girls confront Torrance and Missy at their practice and Isis gives them that curled lip snarl that is 100% pure "I WILL END YOU." So glorious. <br /><br />True fact: I was sick in bed one day and watched this EIGHT times in a row. Still one of my favorites days of my life ever.

I dont know, I thought the comedy kinda sucked in this movie and I naturally like Kirsten dunst but she was pretty annoying in this film.

I wanted to love it more, like the rest of you, but I can't. I enjoyed it a lot though, which I think was the point. Maybe it's because cheerleading doesn't exist in Portugal that I do not understand the appeal. Hmm.<br /><br />About the images...
