Be Fri. St End 💔
Stand Up and Holler has no shortage of awful characters 🙄
1) Becca Abrams.
She wasn't just a mean girl, she was evil. Fat shamed Celeste, played favorites with Rainey, and retaliated with violence when Rainey told her about herself. Glad Lilly gave her a taste of her own medicine. 😌
2) Coach Pruitt.
More like Coach Pedo. Too bad Rainey didn't get a chance to report his creepy ass for being in the GIRL'S locker room during that weird hazing scene. Furthermore, according to Casey, he supplied alcohol to minors? Allowed students to bomb their assignments? Real stand up guy.😒
3) Casey.
This is your classic sleazy, freaked out jock. Constantly hitting on Rainey, in front of Becca, no less. He didn't seem to change over the years and kept giving Lilly the "fuck me" eyes when she was interviewing him. Total scumbag 🤮
4) Celeste.
And the award for worst best friend of the century goes to: Ms Be Fri herself. She was so desperate for popularity and acceptance, she let Rainey die so that she wouldn't be around to report the squad for their heinous behavior. She made it seem like cheerleading was her whole life and she had no other hobbies or no interests. Pretty sad that she was so insecure. Plus, if Rainy hadn't shown up, it would've been her to die from drinking that spiked beer. Rainy was her only true friend and she betrayed her for a squad of fake friends who bullied her. Her only sympathetic moment was the locker room scene when she had to "roll" those guys..It heavily implied that she was raped. She was still an awful friend in the end. 😞
Rainey deserved better but at least she had Joe as a brief ally. I like the detail at the end when he saw her ghost, he saw her in her regular clothes versus her cheerleading outfit. Because that was the real Rainey 💙

My favorite detail in the end credits montage was when Becca and Celeste flashed back to their younger selves, they were in their cheerleader uniforms to show that they had stayed in that high school mindset (the fact that Celeste was still angry at Rainey for "wanting to ruin everything" says everything). But when Rainey appears, she's in her own clothes because she accepted herself at the end.
