action
Whittier Smith and her friend Monica Jones are finally arriving at California State College, which has the best cheerleading team in the country, and it is pretty well promoted. At the welcome party, Whittier meets DJ Derek for the first time, who has several part-time jobs, including in the cafeteria. The next day the casting takes place. In the evening Tina, the dictatorial captain of the cheerleaders, chooses Monica and Whittier from the applicants. Greg and the principal Dean Sebastian find Whittier should be the captain next year as Tina is leaving college. Actually, Tina wanted to hand over the future post to Marni. For better or worse, she agrees and relies on Whittier. She should become “perfect”, meaning that she must not eat high-calorie foods or injure herself.
She has to get better at everything than she already was. One evening Whittier sneaks out with Derek. They swim together in the pool and end up kissing, then Whittier disappears back to her room. Both see it as a relationship from there on. After the cheerleaders' first appearance, there is a party where Derek and Whittier kiss. When Tina sees this, she forces Whittier to decide whether she wants to be with Derek or rather to be part of the cheerleading team, since Whittier shouldn't mess with the "low-ranking" ones, as Derek thinks it is. The relationship also suffers as a result, as Whittier decides to stay on the team under pressure and breaks up with Derek. Monica is shocked by her friend's reaction. Shortly afterwards, after telling Tina her opinion, she leaves the party. To her disadvantage, because during the next training session, Tina takes out her anger on Monica because she “did not behave well” at the party. She lets Monica do flickflacks and herkies until Monica falls. When Tina then asks Whittier to announce the steps, she refuses and gets out of the cheerleading team with Monica.
Not long after her departure, Whittier realizes that she cannot cheerlead without and decides to start her own team with Monica. This consists of the inactive ballet dancers and the musical choir, whose school subsidies have been cut. Bringing this team up to date is unfortunately not that easy. They also have another problem because there can only be one cheerleading team per college. Director Sebastian, Whittier and Tina agree on a competition, unfortunately in two days, in which the audience decides which team will win. Whitthier and Monica have to train their team in the shortest possible time to become a top cheerleading team, which should beat the experienced cheerleaders. They succeed and Whitthier's cheerleaders emerge victorious.
criticism
"Low-income teenage comedy full of genre clichés, conceived as a sequel to Girls United."
