The Plot: The Pom Pom Girls begins on the beach where several girls practice cheer-leading routines. Once this scene breaks, a couple of the gals hop into a red 55 Chevy to go for a spin with a couple of guys. Back at high school, we see that the school is having cheer-leading tryouts.
While back in school, we learn that there’s some sort of rivalry with another school as there’s a big upcoming football game and the kids from one school are pranking the kids at the other and vice versa. One such prank is a fire truck being stolen to wet down the opposing football team as they practice.
As The Pom Pom Girls progresses, kids from both schools continue to prank each other in a fun, harmless fashion. At this point during the film, a prep-rally speech from the principle tells the kids that under cover police officers will be at all of the upcoming football games looking for kids smoking pot.
The Takeaway: The Pom Pom Girls is a fun, yet somewhat slow film to watch. There’s little to no nudity up to the 65 minute mark, but honestly, the film isn’t about naked girls, it’s about the football rivalry between two schools and the pranks that ensue between each school. In that regard, the film works well as each prank is fun and harmless in nature. Despite its slow pace, direction from Ruben is serviceable and the chemistry and performances between the guys and girls make the film worth watching. It’s good fun!
Film Facts: The Pom Pom Girls was written, produced and directed by Joseph Ruben. The film was distributed by Crown International Pictures and was released in May of 1976 and grossed nearly $18,000,000, making it a massive success considering the films low budget. Joseph Ruben went on to direct films such as Dreamscape (1984), The Stepfather (1987), Sleeping With The Enemy (1991) and The Good Son (1993). Robert Carradine’s career sprouted legs after The Pom Pom Girls as he went on to appear in The Big Red One (1980), Revenge of the Nerds (1984), The Tommyknockers (1993) and can be seen in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film Django Unchained (2012) as Tracker Lex.
Thoughts In My Head: – I miss the 70s and all that camel-toe – Boobies (took long enough, 15 min mark) – Robert Carradine looks so young, that’s because he is… – I think one of these kids is gonna plug the teacher – For some reason I was under the impression there where naked girls in this film – I smell a food fight, jeez, really – More boobs… – These silly boys are always fighting – OK, boob time (girls locker room scene) – I’m happy the boys shower scene didn’t turn into a sausage-fest – Shit, is the football coach a cop? – Oh fuck, did Johnny go over the edge – LOL, guess not…
Favorite Badass or Badass Moment: Sorry kids, no badass in this one Favorite Boobs or Boobs in a Scene: The shower scene, after all, this is where the boobs are Favorite Death Scene: Sorry kids, no deaths in this one
Boob Count: 7 pair Body Count: 0
IMDB Rating: 5.0 / 10 My Rating: 5.5 / 10
Final Thoughts: The Pom Pom Girls turns out to be a somewhat slow, yet fun teenage sex comedy from the mid 70’s with little to no sex in the comedy. And while I give it just an above average score, it’s a fun drive-in romp worth watching.
