Identity Theft of a Cheerleader: Vicky’s 5 most vicious moments
By Mads Lennon
Lifetime’s Cheer, Rally, Kill line-up continues with another pom-pom worthy thriller. Maira Walsh stars as Vicky in Identity Theft of a Cheerleader.
How far would you go to relive your glory days? Identity Theft of a Cheerleader follows Vicky Patterson (Walsh) back to Glendale High School as a 30-year-old to try and make her teenage dreams come true.
We get a taste of Vicky’s insanity early on when she breaks a mirror with her face. Her mother’s disdain for her daughter’s failure (not making the cheerleading team) translates into a lifelong ambition to finally make her proud. No matter what the cost is.
Vicky concocts a plan to be 18 again and follow her mother’s path to success. To do so, she’ll need to become the head cheerleader, date the star athlete, and then become a sorority president in college. We’re talking about the five most vicious things she does to stay on her path to greatness.
5. Cheer sabotage.

The first obstacle Vicky encounters is the loathed “co-captain” label. As her mother always says, “second is just first loser.” Vicky won’t settle for anything less than being head cheerleader.
She uses a little vegetable oil on the bleachers to send her competitor, Maddy, stumbling. Since Maddy can’t cheerlead with a fractured ankle, Vicky gets a promotion.
Maddy’s lucky Vicky let her off with nothing but a damaged ankle. Other people in this movie weren’t quite so fortunate.
In terms of sabotage, Maddy wasn’t the only one on the receiving end of Vicky’s rage. Heather (Karis Cameron), is her romantic rival for the football player, Liam’s (Jesse Irving), attention. To take her out of the picture, Vicky plants alcohol at home and in her locker. Heather’s sister is an alcoholic which makes her potential lapse all the more believable.
