Cheer for Your Life (2021 TV Movie) User Reviews

No idea why they didn't just all walk out

[lololguys · 5/10 · 21 May 2022]

Story was good, but is based on the premise that these teens want to be on the cheer squad so badly that they are willing to get tortured and even force others to be raped for it.

This premise was not really shown, and I was confused the entire time why anyone in their reasonable mind would not just walk out (not even one of them quit or even seriously considered quitting?!?), where the only consequence is not being on the cheer squad (which itself doesn't even seem to have any kind of high standing among other schools' or lead to scholarships as far as it's shown).

Great teen thriller!

Out of all of the recent cheerleader movies that lifetime has come out with, this has got to their best one!

Definitely did not have this one figured out.

Well done!!

Horrible team

[nightroses · 6/10 · 6 September 2021]

A good film, but I can't stand the way the new cheerleading group are treated by the queen bee members. The training is torture and painful. A spell in the army is not as cruel as that. It seems the learners are brainwashed into staying on the cheerleading squad even though there has already been a death and they're all bullied. Where is the cheerleading coach? Its not a cheerleading squad that cares about its new members. I found the film quite well done, with good acting and a decent thriller of a story. It was a kind of a who-dunnit although a bit over-the-top.

Wtf

Is making a weak cheer squad really worth that treatment? So over-the-top bullying from the "Queens" So lame!!

Cynical Tale of Hazing and Violence

[lavatch · 1/10 · 29 April 2023]

Instead of the title "Cheer for Your Life," this film should be called "Cringe for Your Life." This was a deeply troubling film in the degree of harassment and violence inflicted on a group of high school cheerleaders. From start to finish, the action of the film was unpleasant, graphic, lurid, and depressing.

Cindy Beaverman is trying out for the cheerleading squad and must undergo a week of "initiation." Her group is part of the Little Bees who must graduate to the Queen Bees at the East Ridge High School cheerleading team. But the horrific price they must pay unfolds with no oversight or supervision of faculty members or coaches.

The initiation had nothing to do with dancing or athletic skills. It was pure hazing like the initiation to a repellent sorority. The Queen Bee leaders were sadists of the most despicable variety. The film proceeded through a progressively more humiliating and dangerous set of exercises. In the meantime, two members of the team mysteriously ended up dead.

Cindy allegedly had a strong bond with her mother. But she was never willing to open up about the harassment she was receiving. Thus, her mother, a former cheerleader herself, was unable to provide support until it was nearly too late.

There were no redeeming values to this ugly film. The forgettable characters were cardboard-like, and the disturbing content was nauseating. The denouement included an appalling cheerleading routine at a football game for the Bees. But, by then, there really was nothing to cheer about.

Good

Good movie. But when the mom locked the door she put keys in her bag and told the guy locked them inside. You can't lock that kind of door without your key. So what was that about.

A bunch of high school cheerleaders you want no part of!

[Chartreuse1 · 8/10 · 6 September 2021]

Scary but good! The Queens, a cheerleading team, are starting initiation week again and friends Cindy and Allison want to try out! Big mistake when 2 girls end up dead during the hazing! What will happen to them and do they ever make the team! You will have to tune in! Definitely recommend!!!

GREAT MOVIE
