Summary: "Its funny, and smart and has alot of heart"
Review: I looooooved this movie. There are not enough words that can describe my love for this movie. I guess that this is the type of film I've wanted to see my whole life and when I saw it I just fell in love with it. Kirsten Dunst plays Torrence the newest captain of the cheerleading squad who finds out that the old captain was stealing cheers from an inner city school that could never afford to go to the nationals. But that squad also has a new captain that plans on making it to nationals and is driven to win her squad the championship. I honestly enjoyed how this movie glorified cheerleading and showed how it can be just as much of a sport as football and basketball. There's a great romance between Torrance and Cliff. The cheers are humorous and the routines are breath taking. And the movie itself is truly and genuinely funny. I think the movie has something everyone will enjoy. Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union, Jesse Bradford, Nathan West and Claire Kramer round out this terrific cast and all have an amazing chemistry. This movie will have you guessing until the very end which squad will win the championship...All I can say about this movie is that it is very fun! Its like a cool wind of originality. I have to say I have never seen anything quite like it. If you took Clueless, The MIghty Ducks and Dirty Dancing and mixed them together you would almost have this movie, but not quite. Kirsten Dunst was made for this role and she plays it with believability, style and a bubbliness that no other actress can do and still gain respect. The dvd for this film is great. It has alot of extra goodies like alot of behind-the-scenes footage, a music video, audio commentary and other features that are fun to watch. This movie is a true gem and everyone should run out and buy it. Oh and by the way, I forgot to mention how hot theses cheerleaders are! They sizzle and truly Bring It On!!!

Summary: VERY CHEER WORTHY!!! :)
Review: This is a GREAT movie, especially for teenagers ~ but I think all ages would enjoy it! It has a little bit of everything; cheerleading, romance, comedy, etc. The story stars the talented Kirsten Dunst as newley crowned captain of the schools cheerleading squad. Everything is cool except she just found out the former captain has been ripping off another school's cheers and passing them off as theirs; and thats just the beginning of her problems!! The DVD is awesome - you can watch it three different ways: 1) regular widescreen 2) with director's commentary 3) widescreen w/trivia about the actresses, cheerleading, and little tidbits about the making of "Bring it on" all through out the movie. On top of that they have tons of deleted AND extended scenes, a never before seen car wash scene w/ Kirsten and the other cheerleaders in bikinis, the music video "As If" from Blaque and some clips of Kirsten and Eliza Dushku from the Wardrobe & Make up tests! If you thought that was a lot, they also threw in a documentary "THE MAKING OF BRING IT ON" w/ exclusive interviews from Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union, Blaque and more! Only thing is I wish there was more of the group BLAQUE in the movie ~ they hardly had any speaking parts! For all you cheerleaders, you'll LOVE the cheers all the different squads perform through out the movie. Lindsay Sloane from the WB's "Grosse Pointe" has a small but great part of the former cheerleading captain who stole all the cheers~!! This is one of the nicest DVD's out there; it'll keep you amused for hours!!! A+++++++++

Summary: You'll find plenty of reasons to cheer for Bring It On
Review: I love Bring It On. I had never gotten around to watching it until I found out Eliza Dushku was in it, and I was thrilled to discover that this film delivers all kinds of great stuff, plays out on a level far above that of most "teen comedies," and (lest we not forget) features a bevy of beauties in cheerleading outfits. Personally, I think every movie should work a few cheerleaders into the script, but until that happens I have Bring It On to make the wait a little easier. I've never really been a big fan of Kirsten Dunst, but now I have figured out why: I really hadn't seen any of her movies. Dunst, as Torrance Shipman, makes a perfect head cheerleader - bright and perky, yet committed to her sport and a great human being. That's why, when she finds out that the cheers that led her Rancho Carne Toro cheerleaders to five consecutive national championships were stolen from the local inner-city East Compton Clovers squad, she is mortified. Having already learned all of their routines, her fellow cheerleaders, with the exception of the new girl in town, Missy Pantone (Eliza Dushku) don't seem to care - not until the Clovers show up at a Rancho Carne football game (if you can call what the incompetent team does out on the field football) and basically calls them out. Torrance goes to great lengths to reinvent her squad, yet her plans blow up in her face at the regional competition. Granted a spot in the nationals thanks to their previous championship, the team has three weeks to come together and "bring it" for a national championship face-off with the Clover squad.Naturally, there is a romantic component to the film, which plays out quite well in a subtle and oftentimes comical sort of way, but the biggest impression conveyed by the film is the commitment, hard work, and dedication required to be a competitive cheerleader. Ah, who am I kidding? The biggest impression is that of Eliza Dushku absolutely burning up the screen in one of the sexiest performances of all time, but the whole "cheerleading is hard work" theme comes in second. Wait, actually the minor yet crucial role played by Wonder Years alum Lindsay Sloane (who has grown up "real good," let me tell you) is second - then it's the hard work thing. Okay - wait, Kirsten Dunst's energetic and adorable performance comes in third. But, believe me, that hard work thing does come across, though. Bring It On qualifies as a classic in my mind, and it certainly breaks new ground in terms of portraying cheerleaders in a serious and respectful fashion. This movie doesn't even wait for the credits to roll before giving you your money's worth, as the initial scene reaches out and grabs you immediately. The movie never really slows down from there, avoiding the sort of lull that has doomed many a teen comedy in the past. Even the closing credits are great fun to watch. The DVD only adds to the bounty, featuring all kinds of special features: deleted and extended scenes, a behind-the-scenes featurette, home movies of the memorable car wash scene, wardrobe and makeup tests with Dunst and Dushku, the music video for the song As If from Blaque (whose members make up part of the Clovers squad in the movie), a director's commentary, and more. Everybody associated with this film did indeed bring it, and it shows.

Summary: A FUN MOVIE!
Review: The Toro cheering squad have been winning the national championship for the past 5 years, thanks in part to the squad's ruthless captain "Big Red". But it's time for "Red" to pass the torch to the new captain...Torrance (Kirsten Dunst). Torrance takes on the role of the new leader fearlessly, knowing that her squad is the best at what they do, but when the squad's newest member (Eliza Dushku) reveals that "Big Red" has been stealing the cheers from a rival school, the team must work quickly to put together a new routine before the national's take place. "Bring It On" was a surprise hit this summer, but it should come as no surprise; the film is funny and hip, and contains all the key elements to make it successful; humor, romance, various sub-plots, and gorgeous girls in mini-skirts. This is a movie that men and women will both enjoy. Kirsten Dunst is great as the lead character Torrance, she exudes a natural comedic talent, while remaining fresh and innocent. The beautiful Eliza Dushku is wonderful as the tough girl with a soft heart. And the supporting cast of Nathan West, Jesse Bradford, and Gabriele Union, among others do a perfect job of keeping the laughs coming. A great movie to watch if your in the mood for silly fun.

Summary: This movie makes you want to do several back flips and cheer
Review: I rented this DVD because it had past and future "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" guest stars Eliza Dushku and Claire Kramer. I knew the movie had to do with cheerleaders (duh), but as soon as I listened to what they were actually saying in that hysterical opening cheer, I knew "Bring It On" was not going to be your ordinary T&A exploitation flick. Of course, the producers apparently did not know that since it seems they all showed up with their video cameras the day they shot the car wash scene. Kirsten Dunst plays Torrance Shipman, the new head rah-rah for the Toros, who discovers that all the routines they have been using to win their National Cheerleading Championships have been stolen from another school, the East Compton Clovers, who are led by Gabrielle Union as Isis (both Dunst and Union were cheerleaders in high school). Now we just have to see which cheerleading team is really #1. Meanwhile, Torrance is accused of having "cheer-sex" with Cliff Patone (Jesse Bradford!), a new smart kid in school whose sister Missy (Eliza Dushku) joins the squad because there is no gymnastics team. But in the end it comes down to the final round at Nationals as the two squads try to out do one another in what is essentially a recruiting film for high school cheerleading.
This is a fun movie with its fairly predictable plot and total lack of pretentiousness. With the exception of Missy's big tumbling routine, everyone in the film does their own "stunts." When they do their impromptu routines for a new version of "Mickey" during the closing credits, you have to believe they had big time fun making this movie. "Bring It On" is a movie where you want to get the DVD rather than the videotape because of all the extras included. Not only are there the expected deleted/extended scenes and commentary, there are these informational tidbits that you can get to "pop-up" during the flick. Too bad you cannot get the commentary, sub-titles, and pop ups to all work! at the same time. Nothing like the joys of sensory overload, right, boys and girls? On, and in terms of the "Do Not Do This At Home" Department, it turns out that many of the stunts performed by the teams in the national competition, including all stunts more than 2 bodies high, the fly-overs, and the basket-tosses with head-over-heels rotation, are illegal at the high school level. Yep, that's Hollywood for you.

Summary: Bring It On
Review: (...) The Toro's need a new captain, and Torrance is the one to do it.Although, she's not prepared for what going to happen. If you want to see a movie with action and excitement this is the movie to see.
Kirsten Dunst plays Torrance the main character of this movie. Torrance is the captain and figures out the Captains before her have been stealing routines from the Clovers cheer squad to win the cheer championship finals.
Torrance needs to find a new cheer after their cheers were stolen, and before finals. Although she's not getting anywhere. Will Toro's make it to finals? Will the squad make in the top three.
Director/Writer, Peyton Reed, has given this a lot of drama and attitude. See this movie fast
(Rated PG13)

Summary: One of the cutest teen comedies ever made
Review: If you want to laugh and enjoy yourself, I recommend Bring It On. With a superb cast, catchy lines, and a fully developed plot, this movie is great! Kirsten Dunst stars as Torrance Shipman, the ditzy but loveable high school senior who is newly elected team captain of her high school cheerleading team. But when a replacement cheerleader, Missy Pantone, walks in to the Toros' cheerleading squad (hilariously portrayed by Eliza Dushku), she shows Torrance that the team's cheers are ripped off from the East Compton Clovers, and you can believe that the Clovers are fed up with the stealing. Torrance, horrified that her cheerleading career has been a fake, makes an effort to be original, but the result is a humiliating performance at a competition. Torrance is comforted by love interest Cliff Pantone (played by hottie Jesse Bradford), Missy's REALLY cute twin brother, and a romance begins. As the movie leads up to the UCA Nationals competition, the Clovers and Toros fight for the win. Who will it be? Well you better watch it for yourself. Bring It On is a refreshing change from the immature sick sex movies (i.e. American Pie?) and it instead is fresh, bright, witty, and very funny. I recommend Bring It On to anyone. Hey, even my dad enjoyed it!

Summary: title says it all= BRING IT ON!
Review: FAB! IT HAS EVERYTHING ANY TEENAGER INTO COOL DANCE ROUTINES, BITCHY + COMPETIVE PLOTS + WITTY SCENES WOULD WANT.
SUCH A GREAT FILM WHERE THE DANCE ROUTINES JUST MAKE U THINK THE WHOLE BORING "WAVING YOUR POM-POMS" CONCEPT OF CHEERLEADING OVER AGAIN. THE FILMS NOT THAT LONG EITHER, WHICH IS AN ADVANTAGE AS IN MANY "TEENAGE" FILMS AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS YOU DONT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT AS INTEREST AS U DID WEN IT STARTED!
BRING IT ON ALSO GIVES OUT A COOL MESSAGE THAT IF U KEEP WORKIN AT SUMTHIN EVENTUALLY ULL GET IT WHICH SEEMS 2 BE A LOT MORE EASIER TO BELIVE IN THE FILM THEN WHEN OUR PARENTS TELL US!
bUT IF DANCIN AND TENNAGE ISSUE OVERALL A COOL TEENAGE FILM WHERE ULL FIND YOURSELF PLAYIN PLAYBACK TO THE END DANCE ROUTINES!
