“There’s a warm-hearted tale here suffused with wit and a positive and life-affirming message about having the confidence to achieve your goals in the face of adversity.” – Bruce Demara, Toronto Star

“From first tentative rehearsals to road trip, you can see where the “let’s put on a show” gumption is going. But the newly empowered teenage choreographer and her ragtag troupe ride their own giddy momentum.” – Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

When Irene gets suspended, she must endure two weeks of community service at a retirement home. Following her passion for cheerleading, she secretly signs up the senior residents to audition for a dance-themed reality show to prove that you don’t need to be physically “perfect” to be perfectly awesome.
