    Mostly I winced: at the irritatingly arch dialogue; at the hoochielicious every-other-scene dance routines; at Michalka's acting range, which seems to have just two settings--smug and self-righteous.

    Obviously the CW wanted to milk the popularity of shows like "Glee," which has singing and dancing. And is enormously popular. You can't blame the CW (except maybe for leaving out the creativity, for having a terrible script and for the acting, which hurts to witness).

    Hellcats, set at a Tennessee college, can do nothing more with the material than a stale story.

    It is mean-spirited, painfully dumb and badly acted.

    These are some really attractive young people who are athletic and can somewhat act. And then it all falls apart. It reminds me of when IThese are some really attractive young people who are athletic and can somewhat act. And then it all falls apart. It reminds me of when I was young and going to the movies and seeing a flick like this and thinking it was stupid.
