Uriah43 Wanting desperately to put some zest into her non-existent sex life "Jeannie" (Stephanie Fondue) decides to try out for the cheerleader squad at Amarosa High School. Luckily for her, the squad has just lost one of their cheerleaders due to a pregnancy and need someone who isn't sexually active. So Jeannie gets chosen. In the meantime all of the other cheerleaders are busy having sex with just about everybody while Jeannie watches from the proverbial sidelines awaiting her big chance. Anyway, rather than disclose the rest of the story I will just say that although this is the first movie in the "Cheerleaders trilogy" it doesn't have to be viewed first since none of the other films have any relationship to each other except for the fact that they have cheerleaders in them. As far as this particular movie is concerned--while there is a gratuitous sex scene about every five minutes--most of them weren't that good. On that note, the fact that half of the cheerleaders weren't very attractive had something to do with it. However, to be quite fair there were a few pretty ones with Denise Dillaway (as "Claudia"), Jovita Bush ("Bonnie") and the aforementioned Stephanie Fondue included in that category. But the low-budget nature of the film and the lack of humor in most of the scenes certainly didn't help matters either. Worth a look if a person enjoys films in this genre but other than that I rate it as slightly below average.

Boba_Fett1138 As far as these sort of trashy and sleazy. soft-core productions go, this was absolutely a great and a real fun one to watch.Of course the movie is being totally simplistic with its story and the movie is basically some total nonsense from start till finish but they at least managed to make it a very fun watch. Seriously, the movie is deliberately being more of a comedy, which was a true great approach for the movie to take with its silly concept. It's a soft-core flick, so that means it's mostly being filled with female nudity but the sex itself is never anything explicit or something that goes too far, unless you find the premise of the movie already an offensive one to begin with. And believe me, I can see how this can offend some people. Basically the message this movie is sending out is that all cheerleaders should be seen as sex-objects and they will do ANYTHING for the team, including sleeping with the opposing team to wear them out, the day before the game. Really, sex seems to be the only thing that's on the mind of these young girls. And when they don't have a cute guy around, they use the coach, or someones father, or each other, to get their pleasures.But key to liking this movie is to take nothing in this movie too seriously. And how could you really? It's often so silly and over-the-top, that you just can't ever take this movie seriously in any way.It's a movie that is filled with lots of sexual innuendos and sexual orientated jokes. And I must say, the movie make me laugh quite a lot. I won't exactly say that the movie was ever being very clever with its jokes but it often was something so silly and random that it actually really works out great, comedy-wise. The timing is really spot on at times and it's actually a pretty well made and directed movie, all things considering.Another reason why this movie just works out great and fun is because all of the girls are really fun to watch as well. I'm not just talking about it that they are pleasant and fun to look at but they also obviously had fun doing this movie, which shows on the screen and helps to make this an overall very fun experience. None of the acting is great but yet at the same time I can call it a really well cast movie because all of the girls suit their roles so very well. The movie besides did a great job at casting as many different looking girls as possible. It makes them easy to distinguish from each other and allows the movie to give each of them a more or less unique personality.Really truly one of the most fun movies I have seen in a while.7/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Robert W. Alright I get it sexploitation was the cool new film style sweeping the nation in the late sixties and seventies. I have no beef with that and it has nothing to do with being offended by the content. I just don't believe you can make an actual legitimate entertaining movie and still have nearly full on sex and nudity in it. You can quote Russ Meyer at me all day...it's porn and nothing more and it's only made campy and ridiculous because they just wanted to make porn that would reach a more mainstream crowd and essentially they did that. The Cheerleaders takes a stereotypical male fantasy and tries to slap some sort of plot to it which would have made a better, and lighter teen sex comedy the likes of Porky's or more modern American Pie. Instead when any sort of comedy or 'romp' begins to happen they break into the full on nudity and porn. I mean it wasn't a complete waste of time...I give it very small points for the attempt at something different as far as the plot goes however campy that may have been and the cast wasn't entirely unfortunate considering their main goal was to play the sluttiest group of teenage girls in the history of film. If any High School male saw this movie they'd wonder why their high school sucks so bad and this one the girls literally sleep with everyone, everywhere, any time, and any where.I don't know if I could bother going into any details about the cast. Most of the girls, in fact nearly all of them, were brand new to the screen and most of them, almost all of them, never did much of anything afterwards and if they did it was the same type of sleaze. Needless to say all of them are not ashamed to be in any state of nudity and they all do have their own little personalities from cheerleader to cheerleader and I think that shows some ability to act and show some talent. The guys in the film are all more or less the same from any skin flick show or porn movie. Mustaches, horny old guys, buff football players and the likes. Director and co-writer Paul Glickler made this film and made it for one reason and one reason only sexploitation on young naked cheerleaders and for succeeding in that I suppose he should be given kudos because he never did anything much after this.The plot is simple yet decent enough for me to give it a couple of points because it's ambitious for a porn movie. A new girl joins the cheerleading squad only to reveal that she is a virgin. The team captain likes this because one of her former cheerleaders quit because she was pregnant so she is determined to keep said girl a virgin. The other girls on the squad are determined to make her a bonafide cheerleader and get her in bed with any man they can possibly find. Along the way we are treated to the Cheerleading squad and their many, many seducing ways and well basically whoring around their town. I suppose if you want some soft core porn with a half decent story that you might watch then The Cheerleaders might impress you but if this is what classifies classic than I am frightened for movie history. Trash. 3/10

Brian Washington This film was a precursor to the teen sex comedy genre that would become popular a decade later. However, the difference between this film and the latter films is that at least the kids that were in those films would go on to become some of the finest actors that would ever grace the silver and small screens. These bimbos probably think The Actors Studio is an apartment house in west Hollywood. Also, I'm surprised that this film didn't get an X instead of an R. I guess, the fact that no genitalia was shown saved it because there were enough bare breasts in this turkey to make even Russ Meyer blush.
