Summary: Who Needs Plot When You Have Jiggle
Review: I went into this film thinking that it was going to be a light-hearted spoof on all things cheerleading. The film started off that way, then it took me on a ride into the deeply serious world of highschool (ughh) cheerleading. The film itself tries to be a spoof on cheerleading, but it is done at a view that cheering is the only thing that matters in life. These girls diss everyone that is not cool, when in actuallity they should diss themselves. High school is not about popularity, and being cool...what am i talking about! this is a teen movie! of course the only thing that matters is what you wear and where you eat lunch. This film really shows off how "cool" its script is by having a plot that can be seen in any other rotten teenager film. What is that plot? the rich kids battle the inner city school. Real creative, the only thing we need is a battle with the head cool cheerleader and the outsider. Oh my gosh, that is here too! This film has the makings to have all those little preteens that like crap want to run out and get it and then watch it at their super cool "boy-girl" parties. For anyone out there that has a brain and likes intelligent films, avoid this like the plague.

Summary: Girls Girls Girls, three reason to watch, sadly only three
Review: I was expecting more from this film. It was supposed to be about a cheerleading competition between the rich white (and Asian) cheerleaders and the poor but noble black girls from the bad part of town. It seems the white girls ex-leader has stolen all the cheers from the rival school, no one had figured this out in years but it falls on Kristen Dunst to rectify this situation when she finds herself the new captain. So far so good, the trouble is that this film quickly deteriorates into, yet another "She's All That-10 things I hate about you-Drive Me Crazy-American Pie" thing. The real conflict isn't about race or economic station, it is will the rich good girls accept the rich "bad girl" who is really a gymnast but is trying cheerleading because, for some reason, there is no gymnastics (curios, as the school had everything else). She has a fake tattoo and listens to punk rock, will she fit it? Who cares? What this film majors in is very, very pretty young girls running around in all manner of skimpy attire, Yeah baby Yeah!! This is the only redeeming feature, but redeeming it is. We go into the locker room for underwear showings off and there is even an obligatory "car wash" with massive bikini footage. Kristen Dunst is an absolute babe, she is so pretty (as is the rest of the cast) that one can almost forgive the fact that in the end, the film sabotages it's original attempt to decry racial and economic inequities by doing what it criticizes society for, marginalize and stereotyping blacks. The black cheerleaders, (they are all black by the way, leading one to believe there either were no poor whites or at least no with any rhythm) are never seen out of uniform, we learn nothing about where they live and what they think, they only cheer and threaten the rival group with violence, like a bunch of gagsta ho's. Pretty insulting if you think about it, don't bother thinking too much, the writers didn't. To get money for the trip the Black girls go on Opera Winfrey and beg. The final is a showdown between the two squads, who will triumph? Who really cares. Great cheerleading though, and lots of scanty clad teenage girls almost make up for this...almost. I hope we will see more intelligent teen movies in the future.

Summary: I am a viewer
Review: I really, SERIOUSLY hate cheerleaders, cheerleading, and all that sort of thing in general; so when my friend (with the same ideals) asked me to go see this movie, I thought she was joking. Tell you what-- we laughed through the entire thing. I actually am patiently awaiting the release of this movie so I can show it to some of my other friends. The way it glamorizes yet stereotypes cheerleaders is the funniest thing. This balance between the true side of cheerleaders and the gross exaggerations included in the movie is great. And the way the movie opens is hysterical-- a song making fun of cheerleaders-- "I'm popular, I'm hot, I'm everything you're not! etc, etc," MY Advice- BUY BRING IT ON FOR THE CHEER LOVER/HATER NEAR YOU!! Oh yeah, and I keep singing "Brrrr, It's cold in here, there must be some Clovers in the atmosphere," too.

Summary: Totally awesome!
Review: This was a great movie even if the whole story line wasn't very deep. But it was so very cute. The Try-out scene is hilarious, well, the whole movie is really funny. When I saw with a friend of mine (we're both cheerleaders)we both sat in awe at the stunts they did. Those mount were unbeievable, the basket-tosses were the most amazing. Its against regulation for us to do them, but they were so cool. Though I wonder way no one did any jumps...? I could watch it for hours if I could. This movie shows it ain't easy being a cheerleader easy. The preperation, the nerve-wracking was-that-high-enough-perfect-enough-will-the-judges-hurry-up-with-the-awards-already, and the glorious day of competion! It's all packed into this funny, cute and semi-accurate movie. I didn't say it perfectly portrayed cheerleading. The last thing I have to say mould be to WATCH THIS MOVIE, BUY IT, IT'S ABSOLUTLY AWESOME!

Summary: The most fun at the movies this year, and that's no lie
Review: I will make this short and sweet. This year we had fantastic epics like Gladiator. We had incredible action movies like X-Men. We had Visual Triumphs such as The Cell. We even had one of the scariest non horror movies ever released, What Lies Beneath. But in the end, the funniest, sweetest, most energetic and crowd pleasing movie this year was BRING IT ON. I can't say enough about this movie and I am looking SO SO SO forward to the release of the DVD. Finally, we BRING IT ON fans will be able to turn on the surround sound and rock out to the final Toro's cheer sequence like we wanted to in the theatre but were too embarassed to. "Darcy thinks she should be captain because her dad pays for everything". "He should use some of that money to buy her a clue". I think you should use your money to buy the BRING IT ON DVD

Summary: Fun but Not Great!
Review: This is a great movie for teens [like myself] to watch. If you just wanna have a laugh and watch something energetic, funny and comedic then this perfect. Basically its about Rancho Carne high schools cheerleading team discovering their cheers were actually stolen from an all-black time in the inner city. After realizing this Torrence [Kirsten Dunst] and her compadre Missy unsuccesfully try methods to learn new cheers. After barely making it into the state championship, they discover that the other school can't go to the finals. Torrence is determined to get them there to show them that she CAN beat them but they reject her. Meanwhile Rancho Carne works on a new routine... Eventually, the black school makes it to the finals and you get to watch them as they compete and then make a guess at the winner. This is a good movie, not serious in plot, and comedic. However there are sooo many cliches its sort of annoying as a high school student to watch. Still its a great film to watch again and again because its funny!

Summary: IT'S JUST MEANT TO BE FUN
Review: I was surprised that some people criticised this film for not having the most intelligent plot in the history of movie making because I think they've missed the point. This film is supposed to be FUN and in that respect it deserves five stars. As a Brit I can't really imagine what it is like to be a cheerleader but I know that even if I lived in America i could never be a cheerleader but this didn't spoil my enjoyment of a funky, funny, spirited film. The characters were meant to be slightly annoying because they were parodies of American high school culture and it's placing of such importance in cheerleading etc. I thought the characters were entertaining. I was actually inspired to see the film because it had Eliza Dushku in it because I thought she was absolutely fantastic in Buffy and I thought she was just as good in this and is an extremely talented actress with great potential. I knew that Kirsten Dunst was a talented performer and okay, this movie doesn't highlight the range of her talents but it shows how versatile she is an actress as she can pull off teen comedy as well as serious drama and vampire horror. If you like films that are funny and will lift your spirits then watch this. I saw it at the cinema and came out just wanting to dance and wishing that we could have cheerleading teams in England. It's not the best teen comedy but it is still highly enjoyable and worth it if you're a fan of Eliza Dushku or Kirsten Dunst.

Summary: It Brought it!
Review: This movie was probably the most fun this summer. all the people who bash it were expecting it to be like titanic, or another boring classic. but why do we need so many serious movies? this one makes you feel care-free and makes you wanna get up and dance! good performances, and a funny spoof on cheerleaders. I think you should see it, but don't expect it to be all serious.

Summary: Wanna Buy This movie?????? Do you? Bring it on!
Review: Well to be honest with all of you, the preview of the movie or movie trailer was better than the actual movie! But please before you start choking me to death, this movie has my blessing! I gave it my full support of "Thumbs Up all the way" However Ms. K.Dunst in my opinion is not really the right person for this role. Is it worth buying? Sure why not, I know i will buy it! Refers to its Theaterical Release

Summary: a waste of time
Review: I don't even know why I'm bothering to write a review about this film, but when I saw the average costumer rating I was quite upset how much people have lowered their expectations of what film can bring which in this case it's nothing. Kirsten Dunst is a much more better actor than what this movie portrays her to be. watch the Virgin Suicides and see what I mean. she's very talented and this film doesn't really show her skills. diversity is not just playing any role that's thrown if front of you. Kirsten should be ashamed to follow such a gem as Virgin Suicides with this. as far as Eliza Dushku, and this coming from a fellow Albanian, she hasn't proven her worth yet. this film is part of a propaganda portraying our high schools what they're not. imagine the head of the cheerleading squad dating a punk rocker. well if you can I don't think that you went to high school. l guess the message is positive and all but let's be realistic about what really happens. if you really enjoy film or at least care about good cinema, stay away from this unless you want to rag on it like me. if you like watching cheerleading competitions on ESPN or you got a thing for cheerleaders than this is an ideal film for you. this is all I got to say. Ihope I've saved some from throwing away money. now it's time to give me those NOs for how unhelpfull my review was to you. BRING IT ON
