...roots of its success, of course, go back to a clever, well-refined script. Screenwriter Jessica Bendinger tapped into racial conflicts and moral dilemmas with her story of an ambitious white high school cheerleader (Kirsten Dunst), who discovers that her team has been stealing routines from a group of black cheerleaders on a rival squad. "We made a good film for the right price," says Marc Abraham, one of the producers who would've been perfectly happy had the film raked in $40 million.

...film has held up because of favorable word of mouth, and because we in the media have played catch-up with a movie most of us ignored in the beginning. Kirsten Dunst appeared on "The Tonight Show" early in the film's run. Other members of the cast scored spots on MTV.

They happen upon the Watergate break-in, then on a roomful of men in suits operating shredding machines full tilt. Nixon (Dan Hedaya) buys their silence by making them official dog walkers and unofficial advisers to his beleaguered presidency. They bring it down anyway, in a movie that sells out real satirical possibilities to its marketing potential as teen fluff. Everyone loses--except Hedaya, who keeps faith with his character's nutsiness...
