| Jennifer Ashley in THE POM POM GIRLS Year: 1976 Rating: ***1/2 |
Maybe that she's the only brunette surrounded by California blondes in Crown International's high-school hangout flick THE POM POM GIRLS, Jennifer Ashley always stands out, not only in looks but attitude, with not only something to lose but a strong, built-in expression like she knows pretty much everything, and can take anything on...
Except one important aspect deliberately hidden... as football captain boyfriend Michael Mullins, best friends with cocky jokester Robert Carradine paired with gorgeous Barbie-like Lisa Reeves, is cheating with yet another blonde in carhop Susan Player, who's stunning but no competition to Ashley's central Laurie, head of the cheerleaders in her independently subdued confidence alone...

All of these girls... including other blondes Diane Lee Hart and cult favorite (and star of THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS) Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith... shake their titular pom poms, which occurs in the opening credit beach practice sequence and then sporadically throughout (between random practical jokes played between school rivals), hardly befitting the title since there's only one big football game wherein the cheer-leading is almost superfluous...
Far less important than the REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and more recently AMERICAN GRAFFITI-inspired finale cliff-side drag-race between Carradine and the antagonistic Duane, who, wanting beautiful Reeves back as his girlfriend, is smugly played by Bill Adler (ironically Crown's roadster villain in THE VAN and hero in VAN NUYS BLVD): in what's a low-budget flick relying on character relationships over cheap exploitative aspects of the usual drive-in kind... but there's plenty of that too.
