Undercover Cheerleader

It's Autumn (actress Kayla Wallace from the show "The Good Doctor"), who is amazing in this LIFETIME movie and a great actress. She's definitely attractive, but as she goes undercover as a cheerleader in a highschool to do an exposé on the cruel culture of the squad for her school newspaper, someone is viciously attacking the other cheerleaders and Autumn begins to fear for her own life. My thoughts on this story is it is like the Stephen King movie Carrie and Get It On. It isn't really known who might be the villain in this movie, since there are several girls who could be the killer, but maybe the principal or maybe the Cheerleader Captain? It's a regular plotline with LIFETIME where you think you've figured it out and at the end you're like "What the....?" I loved the interaction between Autumn and Kara, especially with Jordan, her boyfriend. Maybe he's the killer? In this movie right from the get go, you're already Horatio Caine from CSI and Nancy Drew combined, but GOOD LUCK on that, because you won't know who the killer is until.... watch the film and it gets a low mark because it's a very confusing mess and until Autumn discovered something, THEN you figure it all out and quite sad, really....

Here are my thoughts. Plotwise, it took forever to get something to actually happen. Unlike normal Lifetime movies, the first half hour was closer to Romy and Michele, or Harry Potter, or Nancy Drew, or something like that. The plot synopsis sounded much better than the actual movie. Some scenes had descent acting, other scenes...uh-uh. Such as the pointless pizza scene with the mom. In fact, every scene with the mom hurt. The party scene seemed endless. Typical useless police. On the plus side, the cinematography and music were pretty good.

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.

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

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.
