1. That cheerleading routines aren't as thrilling for straight-to-DVD movies as they are for cinema releases.
2. That casting 17-year-old Hayden Panettiere and 25-year-old Marcy Rylan as teenagers is a mistake in the case of the latter.
3. That swapping amusing satire of sports for all-too-predictable clashes of culture does nobody any favours.
4. That Danielle Savre was also in this before Heroes.

7. That both she and Solange "Haylie to Beyonce's Hilary" Knowles-Smith sing better than Rihanna.
8. That the end credits get Hayden's surname wrong in the cast list...
