Trivia:

The premiere of the movie was held in Minnesota, where the movie was filmed. The entire audience was given Betty Doll masks, like the ones the girls used to rob the bank in the movie.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Jack and Diane are coming back from the grocery store in the car, she tosses out a pink paper and you DONT see it fly back as the wind would naturally have blown it to the rear. The paper just fell straight down. Meaning they were obviously in front of a fake green screen background.

Quotes:

[overly hyper]
Dianne's Mom: I'm DeeDee. You can remember me because of my double D's!
Dianne's Dad: Honey, don't show them those!
[to Jack's parents]
Dianne's Dad: And I'm Dianne's dad, Dennis. Now, don't try that after one of my screw-drivers.
Dianne's Mom: Say, who wants pigs-in-a-blanket?

The jokes hide the weak story and the bad acting.

I don't what happened to me but I really like this film although the acting is bad and there are only stereotypes in this movie, but It's still good for a good laugh. It tells the story about some cheerleaders who all have their own character: Bitchy, Saint, Brains, Criminal, Hoochy etc. The Lead cheerleader get's pregnant and leaves her house and moves with her boyfriend to a new house, they need money so they decide to rob a bank. The story is told by a jealous b-squad cheerleader, She tells her story through her eyes to the police and that's really funny. It's great to see how the girls prepare themselves for the rob and the end is so funny you can what happened to girls after the rob.
