Undercover Cheerleader

Autumn Bailey is the new kid at school. She and her mother left New York after the death of her father. She is befriended by Kara who shares a hatred of cheerleaders. Kara recruits her for the school newspaper to go undercover in the cheerleading squad. In addition to mean girls drama, there is more to uncover.

This is a Lifetime TV drama. It's a rather bland mystery drama with various issues. I don't mind the mean girl drama but it's not the most original. The mystery part has its own issue. It needs to be better written. First, Autumn should be the obvious rat of the newbies. She's the new kid at school and they first noticed her when she's talking to the nemesis Kara. The girls are functional actors. The twist is not the most ingenous but it's acceptable. This is flawed but there are worst on Lifetime.

All the leads were in their late 20's and the lead 31!!! Not weird at all!!! A train wreck and no appropriate. Watched 10 mins. Couldn't stand any more.

There are too many cliches now in most recent lifetime thrillers. A new girl moves into a new town and starts a new school. Always the main character has a deceased parent. And their surviving parent has such a busy job that they end up going away on business, leaving the teenager alone for a while. More cliche stuff is the change of expectations that make one wonder why it doesn't make much sense. Another typical thing they do in lifetime movies is the killer makes a cup of tea laced with poison! OMG I counted many of these.

A shallow soap opera for a targeted teenage high school audience. The kids want to pull a fast one on the absentee mom and similar to the old Disney story line, trouble ensues. Is this a mystery worth solving? Not at all, unless you are a paid babysitter to a bunch of spoiled brats.

I give it a boring 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.

Well, I've seen better acting in bad B movies Story is OK, but writing is so bad, lots of goofs It's watchable, if you have to
