As stated by a previous reviewer, there is one thing in this movie that stands out. Something that transcends the rest of the film, taking center stage, and DEMANDS the viewer's full and complete attention:
Corin Nemec never stops playing with his glasses.
Never. Literally. It's continuous, in every scene. It never stops. It took my wife and I a couple scenes to notice it, but once we caught it, it became an almost drinking game. He never stops fiddling with them.
He takes them off. He puts them on. Then, back off. Wait, no, on again.
He gestures with them, points with them, folds them and taps them against his chin while thinking intently. Then they're back on. The camera cuts away, cuts back, they're off, only so he can put them back on again. On. Off. On. Is that Tara Reid? What's she doing in this? Gah, now they're off again. Now on!
The guy plays with his glasses more than Horatio Caine.
Otherwise, the movie is nothing more than standard Lifetime material, but does have a couple fun moments from the psycho cheer coach. Catch it if you're bored one night.

Not Awful, Not Great... But One Interesting Acting Choice
Three pairs of black glasses, and the fidgety nervous dad.....
I came straight here after watching this "wrong" mess to write a review, with the main point being the constant taking off and putting on of glasses by the anxious/nervous dad and how annoyingly distracting it was and how surprising it was to me that the director apparently didn't notice it or do anything about it, and then broke out laughing when I saw that practically ALL of the reviews here also mentioned the glasses travesty, ha! What the heck was up with Corin Nemec and his character's glasses that he just could not leave them alone??
Black glasses seemed to be the main point of the movie what with:
1) the aforementioned dad unable to leave his alone
2) his new girlfriend with the heavy thick-framed black glasses that were so big they completely overwhelmed her face - it was hard to tell what she looked like..
3) then the psycho coach started wearing black glasses in a lame desperate attempt to appeal to the dad because his new girlfriend wore black glasses...good grief.
Same old lame storyline, plot, characters, and the ever-present narcissist Vivica Fox as the same sassy, stern yet fair school principal/teacher/coach/boss character coyly delivering the same gimmicky inane line: "Well I guess I hired the WRONG cheerleader coach!" (*eyeroll*)
Why oh why do I continue to torture myself by watching this vapid tripe? Hopefully no one in Nemec's life will ever let him live down that bizarre fixation with his glasses in this flick.
1 out of 10 / Grade F
Disappointing
I watch literally every new movie on lifetime. This is the worst in years. The father, who should be a very strong single dad was subpar...he appeared anxious & removed/adjusted/put on his glasses so often that it was a distraction. The assistant cheer coach was less than convincing as a villainess. Barely made it through to the end.
