SYNOPSIS: This coming-of-age saga of an All-American small town girl is saucy and hilarious! Debbie is a high school cheerleader who dreams of making it to the Big Time by becoming a Texas Cowgirl Cheerleader. When she receives a letter saying that she has qualified for the squad, the only thing standing in her way is enough money to get to Big D. Debbie enlists her friends to help raise the cash and they form a company called Teen Services. The girls "work hard for the money" and through sex, sweat and song they raise enough money for Debbie to make it to Dallas and realize her dream. "A scream! A saucy, tongue-in-cheek romp." – The New Yorker. Rated PG-13.
