Movie Info

Based on the popular series of children's books by Deborah Gregory, the made-for-cable The Cheetah Girls is all about four teenage girlfriends, all from different ethnic and economic backgrounds, all attending a Manhattan high school specializing in fashion design. The foursome includes the unofficial leader, Galleria Garibaldi (Raven) and her pals Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) and Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), as well as comparative newcomer Aqua (Kiely Williams). Aspiring to pop-music stardom, the quartet forms a girl group, whereupon they attract the interest of music teacher (and former disco queen) Drinka Champagne (Sandra Caldwell) -- who, in turn, refers the girls to Jackal Johnson (Vincent Corazza), a charming but duplicitous producer for Def Duck Records. Sensing that the Cheeta Girls' first taste of showbiz success will degenerate into exploitation and backstabbing, Galleria's mom, ex-model Dorothea (Lynn Whitfield), tries to save her daughter and friends from the cruelties of life in the fast lane. The Cheetah Girls debuted August 15, 2003, on the Disney Channel.

...Tom Hanks himself would be hard-pressed to inject life into this cliched, formulaic storyline.

Audience Reviews for The Cheetah Girls

Aug 16, 2011

A lot of terrible actng, terrible dialogue, far too many 'feel good' scenes, and just a flat out waste of time for kids and adults alike.

A nice adaptation of the book, the soundtrack is great, although the plot seems a bit silly at times

These girls...it's like they're trying to be all ghetto, but they don't really know how. This movie prognosticated Raven's bitchiness before she actually got (sort of) successful.
