It’s a sad day when the best thing you can say about a comedy is that it’s not as bad as the ____ Movie franchise, but that’s where we are with this limp entry into the ‘high schoolers getting laid’ genre. Here, they’re not even nerds; two footballers — both, like, supercute (read: smug bastards) — decide that they’d rather shag girls than endure their football camp, so go to cheerleading classes instead.
You can count on one hand the decent gags; the rest is down to either a low kill-rate during the scripting process or bad timing in the editing suite (they can’t even get the evil Purple Cobra-like rivals right), leaving a charmless, witless, lumbering mess.
Almost nothing could redeem this lame comedy.
