#1 Cheerleader Camp (2010) Reviews

• Starts good, then very predictable

  mognam2010-07-28

  If you are an 12-16 year old boy you will love this. The movie starts with a good stream of jokes but then focuses to much on the story line. When I say focuses on the story is not good, it is because the plot is extremely predictable to the point where you know the end about 10 minutes into the movie. There is some very well done cheerleading, but I can't see any female cheerleaders wanting to watch this movie. You start thinking 'get over the cheerleading and get back to the tits and arse I came to watch'. On the plus side, the actors are putting in a good effort. Seth Cassell is great as Andy. I enjoy low brow humor and this is full of it (plenty of gay and masturbation jokes). And there are hot chicks showing heaps of tits and arse and getting it on with each other. This movie is not for the wife or girlfriend, it is for sitting and watching with your mates while drinking beer. This is not a thinking mans movie.

• Surprisingly not that bad for a movie from the Asylum

  TheLittleSongbird2012-09-11

  When you think of The Asylum, you immediately think cheap, repetitive, dull, badly acted. However #1 Cheerleader Camp is not that bad things considering. It actually looks decent, has some good cheer-leading sequences, an upbeat soundtrack and some refreshingly likable turns from Charlene Tilton and Seth Cassell(in fact the acting generally is well above average). On the other hand, the story is incredibly predictable and the pacing is often too rushed. The writing is vulgar and contrived with not very much that out to me as funny, while the characters are stereotyped and bland. All in all, not bad but not all that great either. 5/10 Bethany Cox

• Dumb and Childish but It Was Fun

  #1 Cheerleader Camp (2010) ** 1/2 (out of 4) The Asylum comes back with a teen sex comedy taking place at, you guessed it, a cheer-leading camp. Michael (Jay Gillespie), who everyone thinks is gay, and Andy (Seth Cassell), a real pervert, are two maintenance men at the camp when a group of girls get double crossed by a rival team. The two guy decide to help them out by hiring strippers to show the girls some real moves to win over the judges. Whenever a film starts off with big breasted, topless cheerleaders jumping on a trampoline then you know the thing can't be too bad. In fact, I'd probably go as far to say that this here is The Asylum's most professional looking film and while it's certainly stupid and silly, there are enough funny moments and trashy nudity to make it worth sitting through if you enjoy these type of teen sex comedies. The story itself is quite predictable as there's nothing going on here that's going to take anyone by surprise. The story follows just about every cliché you'd expect but that's not always a bad thing. The film doesn't try to be any sort of art film and instead it just tries to deliver raunchy jokes and nudity. The majority of the jokes are aimed at Andy who is on a "diet" that requires him to masturbate as many times a day as he can. This of course comes with looking in on girl's taking a shower, which just adds to the nudity level. The nudity is pretty much from the opening scene to the closing one so fans of that type of stuff (who doesn't love beautiful women naked?) should be happy. I thought the performances were better than what you'd normally see in a film like this and both Gillespie and Cassell are good enough together to help carry the film. Charlene Tilton plays herself, which was a little weird but her fans will probably enjoy seeing her. Erica Duke really steals the film with a very charming and cute performance as the good cheerleader. I thought she really did a nice job here and hopefully we'll eventually see her with some better material. #1 CHEERLEADER CAMP isn't going to win any major awards but it wasn't trying to. Fans of nudity and naughty little jokes should at least find it worth viewing once.

• Horny cheerleader camp?

  The German title does suggest something like that, which is a bit unfair to the movie. Even though it is a sex comedy, the German title makes it worse than it is. The movie in general is generic though and they might have thought this trick would lure in more people (I watched this as "double bill" with another one of the same production house). The bromance between our lead character and another character might elevate this movie a little bit. If you are not annoyed by it that is. The jokes might feel homophobic to some or harmless and not much fun to others. There is still some heart buried somewhere in here and sometimes it shines through. You will also get a fair amount of nudity, though that should not be your main concern

• Not very good.

  jaffaq2010-07-29

  I was expecting a film much like fired up (which I quite liked) when I watched this but to my disappointment, it was a lot worse. First off the storyline is not very good and the script made it even worse. While watching this film I felt like there were scenes missing (maybe there are) and that things were moving too fast (unless they where just trying to do random things almost all of the time). At times it also felt quite awkward, which could either be the script or the acting, although the acting wasn't too bad. I barely laughed while watching this film and feel like I have wasted my time watching it. I wouldn't recommend it unless cheap laughs and random nudity is your thing, then give it a shot.
