About This Movie

The 1979 TV movie 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' has this unique blend of comedy and drama that really captures the era. Directed by Bruce Bilson, it peeks behind the curtain of the famous cheerleading squad with a mix of light-hearted moments and some deeper themes about ambition and identity. The pacing feels right for a made-for-TV film, allowing for some character development, especially with the reporter who gets a front-row seat to the cheerleaders' lives. Performances are pretty solid, especially the lead, who balances the role of being both an insider and an outsider quite well. It’s not just about the glitz; there's a sense of the pressure these women face, which gives it some weight. It stands out for its mix of campy fun and some serious undertones.
