First Trailer For POMS Is Totally Cheer Worthy

Here is a really fun trailer and poster (above) for a movie I hadn’t previously heard of called Poms. I mistakenly prejudged it for being another teen cheerleader movie that I wouldn’t care anything about, but then watched the trailer and realized it is a geriatric cheerleader movie, and I am in! The cast is amazing, and includes Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, Something’s Gotta Give), Pam Grier (Jackie Brown, The L Word), Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook, Bird Box), Rhea Perlman (Cheers, Matilda), Alisha Boe (Ray Donovan, 13 Reasons Why), and many more.

The movie is about a woman (Keaton), who moves into a retirement community, and begrudgingly makes new friends who help her along and pull her out of her shell to start a cheerleading team for the ladies in the community. The ladies recruit a teenager (Boe) to choreograph and lead them to compete. The movie is obviously about friendship and living your best life, with lots of humor and fun in seeing old ladies learn to cheer, which is actually a pretty hardcore sport for those who are doing it competitively, especially.

Enjoy the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be cheering for Poms in theaters May 10, 2019. The movie was
directed by Zara Hayes from a script by Shane Atkinson.
