Let's Go, JETS! From Small Town Girls to U.S. Champions?! (2017)

I was on a flight looking for films to watch. I like South East Asian Movies so I always browse the Chinese/Korean/Japanese movies available to watch. I liked the premise right away. Based on a true story it was a light comedy that one can relax watching.

The story is about a group of Japanese High Schoolers coming together to participate in cheerleading competition in the US and the process, the struggles, the challenges they had to go through to get there. The movie is in theory just another cheerleading film, one who happens to take place in Japan. There's nothing new about that but Japan doesn't have a long-standing tradition in cheerleading when compared to the US the Japanese culture is very different from the Western Culture in the broad sense of the expression, not the literal one, therefore it's inspiring. It shows that determination and hard-work can make dreams come true but that's not something new either.

The acting was good, nothing exceptional but good as was the music to put it simply.

Overall it was a nice comedy, light, breezy, fluffy and entertaining!
