The Wrong Cheerleader Coach

New drinking game! Every time the father in this movie takes his reading glasses on and off have a shot!

I love these over the top movies that Lifetime features, but this movie was ruined by the actor who could not stop putting his reading glasses on and off. He did not need those glasses. He also looked so raggedy and I was confused why they could not have at least gotten him a haircut. I blame the director for not putting a stop to the constant glasses handling. He was clearly drawn to the curly haired blonde and could not wait to get her alone so he could fondle her glasses. I enjoyed the movie and it was worth it to see Vivica Fox to say the line, "I guess I hired the wrong cheerleader coach!"

I watch literally every new movie on lifetime. This is the worst in years. The father, who should be a very strong single dad was subpar...he appeared anxious & removed/adjusted/put on his glasses so often that it was a distraction. The assistant cheer coach was less than convincing as a villainess. Barely made it through to the end.

The previews they showed for this movie was the best part of it. Waiting for Vivica A. Fox to say, "Looks like (something) the wrong (title word)" is the only worthwhile thing about these "The Wrong ...." movies. But they gave that away in the previews!

This one was especially bad, though. I couldn't understand why the father was so attractive to women; he was constantly bumbling around, stumbling with his words, and annoyingly taking his glasses off and putting them back on for no apparent reason. Not very attractive attributes, in my opinion. But the women in this movie were drawn to him?

Of course we also have the crazed obsession evil person in the movie. But that's expected, right? It's a staple of Lifetime movies. So I took no stars away because of that. It's just that these movies aren't very good. This one less than most.

As stated by a previous reviewer, there is one thing in this movie that stands out. Something that transcends the rest of the film, taking center stage, and DEMANDS the viewer's full and complete attention:

Corin Nemec never stops playing with his glasses.

Never. Literally. It's continuous, in every scene. It never stops. It took my wife and I a couple scenes to notice it, but once we caught it, it became an almost drinking game. He never stops fiddling with them.

He takes them off. He puts them on. Then, back off. Wait, no, on again.

He gestures with them, points with them, folds them and taps them against his chin while thinking intently. Then they're back on. The camera cuts away, cuts back, they're off, only so he can put them back on again. On. Off. On. Is that Tara Reid? What's she doing in this? Gah, now they're off again. Now on!

The guy plays with his glasses more than Horatio Caine.

Otherwise, the movie is nothing more than standard Lifetime material, but does have a couple fun moments from the psycho cheer coach. Catch it if you're bored one night.
