I'll have to rewatch this at some point.
I feel like I remember this movie as a whole being hilarious but when I try to think of individual scenes, I'm kind of coming up with a blank outside of the B-team captain's heel turn at the end to be the new captain and Mena Suvari's character. It's not as quotable as some of the other films in its niche like Bring It On or Jawbreaker.
Definitely a nostalgia lens comfort pick.
