Killer Cheer Mom

I must admit that when I sat down to watch this 2021 Lifetime TV thriller, I wasn't really expecting a whole lot. But with it being a new movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I took the time to sit down and watch it. Who knew, perhaps it would be an interesting thriller.

Yeah, hardly so, as writer Anna White and director Randy Carter just managed to deliver a bland and generic storyline and movie. The movie was just using every single generic trope that has been seen and done in many other thrillers before it, and more often than not, done far better. And the fact that "Killer Cheer Mom" was rather predictable just didn't really do much to lift up the overall movie experience.

Sure, the storyline told here was fair enough for a thriller of this magnitude. However, you shouldn't go about thinking you'll be in for a grand movie experience when you sit down to watch "Killer Cheer Mom" though, then you'll be sorely mistaken and disappointed. The movie was watchable, but that was about it, because as a thriller it was bland, generic and not a memorable one at that.

The acting in the movie was adequate, again taking into consideration the type of thriller that this is. Of course it is Denise Richards that is the lure for dragging in the audience here. And while I am not a particular fan of hers, then I will say that "Killer Cheer Mom" was not among her best of movies.

I am rating "Killer Cheer Mom" a generous four out of ten stars. I managed to sit through this generic thriller, but it is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time, nor is it a thriller that I would recommend for fans of the thriller genre.

I Don't understand why people are comparing this to theatre level movies. These TV films have low budget and strict runtime. There's a lot going on here because people expect more from these movies of this genre since they're used to box office film productions. Denise is a legend who was always sexualized by Hollywood and had some controversy. But you can't deny her acting chops She's definitely at her best. Other than that the others did great Riley Chloe and the black girl who has the first dialogue in the movie she was really natural actress. Others were just too much like the father was a bit overacting and sometimes good the cooper guy was okay little old looking shawn mendes guy. Overall I'd say i expected more from the climax bud they had less cast so they did whatever they could with what they had. It was decent watch.

The acting is awful. Sadly, the botox fest is as awful. Nice try from Riley and Cooper actors. Cooper did the best followed by Riley's best friend. Amanda's actor is great too. But man. Why the botox.

The execution sucks. And the tone deaf cut to high school cheer music after a close to murder scene was just mind numbingly dumb.

Well, it was worse than anticipated, where should I begin? Poor Denise Richards, a lifetime of Botox has rendered her almost hideous to look at and that makes it even more difficult to watch.

The plot was way over the top, even for LMN- totally unbelievable. No, I don't expect box office hits on LMN, but at least some level of believability would be appreciated.

The guy who played the father was a real tool, and married a woman that he knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT- but yet believed her over his daughter who he had known for, what- like 17-18 years?

A couple of bright spots were Courtney Fulk and Holly J Barrett (recognized her from her cameo on Young Sheldon.)

I did not think it was going to be bad but did not think it would actually be this good. Very different seing Denise Richards in this more serious and more intense kind of chararcter role ...and she did amazing really impressed. The story Was very well paeced was no part in the movie that was dull or in there just to fill time .Overall very good movie as all of these movies though plot becomes clear early on but that does not take away from the good story and film.
