Rating: Summary: This is a fun movie that you shouldn't take very seriously Review: I'll be honest, I thought this movie looked cheesy when I saw commercials for it in the theater, so I didn't buy a ticket and watch it. Then one day it came on the dorm channel at college, and I sat and watched it, and it was so funny. I watched it almost every time it came on the dorm channel while I was at home that month. This movie is just plain fun to sit and watch, and have a good laugh about.Sure, Bring It On didn't win any acting or directing awards, but you can't go into the movie thinking that it is supposed to. It's just a good stereotypical movie about cheerleaders. NO, these aren't the airhead sweater-monkeys of old, and anyone who knows competition cheerleaders knows this movie is almost dead on. Go watch Bring It On and enjoy the fun.
Rating: Summary: Can't go wrong with Kirsten Dunst Review: I absolutely love this movie. Though i am biased because i love just about anything that Kirsten Dunst is in. I strongly recommend this movie even if your not a Kirsten Dunst fan for one simple reason, IT'S AN ENTERTAINING MOVIE. Is it shakespeare? No. Is it oscar-winning material? No. But if you just want to set down for 90 minutes and have fun and be entertained, than you can't go wrong with this movie, because it wasn't made under the assumption that it would win any oscars. It is a fast paced movie with great cheerleading scenes and a lot of cute girls. The plot is perfect for this kind of movie because the writers did't get all fancy with it, it's a simple plot. So I strongly recommend this movie, but then again, I absolutlely adore Kirsten Dunst, and you will too after you see this movie. I also recommend you see her latest movie "Get Over It"
Rating: Summary: NOT for pre-teens Review: Sure, it's an entertaining fluff of a movie, but I encourage parents of elementary school kids to preview it prior to letting the kids watch it. LOTS of inappropriate language, LOTS of sexually-related dialogue. In general, most of these girls show exactly the opposite behavior that you'd want your daughter to be emulating.
Rating: Summary: Think Clueless with pom poms.... Review: Perky Torrance has become the leader of a San Diego cheerleading squad who has been winning for the last 5 years. However, she discovers that her previous Captain has been stealing the routines off their competition from East Compton. Now Perky Torrance has to find a way to come up with some original moves to win the National. Some of the things she tries fail terribly but she findsinner strength to motivate her cheer squad to become champs again... Not much of a plot, but most teen movies don't seem to have solid ones. And to tell you the truth, I don't want teen flicks to have one. Movies like "Dazed and Confused", and "Fast Times at Ridgmont High" didn't point anywhere, but created and dealt with hilarious situations. However, when writers tend to throw in plots, it can go tedious real quickly (example is the lame movie "She's all that"). I watched this and "Finding Forrester" this weekend and I have to admit, I found "Bring it on" more entertaining. Both movies have actresses who had strong starts but have not continued in such a fashion. Anna Paquin had an incredible start in "The Piano" and then faded to second billing obscurity (other than playing Rogue in X-men). Kirsten Dunst also had a breakout role as the Vampire Claudia in "Interview with a Vampire", but recently has made some pretty lousy movies like "Small soldiers", "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "Get over It". However, she find her mark in this movie. When I say she finds her mark, I mean she plays Torrance with the appropriate amount of airheadedness and valley girl posture that the role requires. If Dunst had played this role with the intelligence I know she has, it would have been unbelievable. Dunst (who looks young in some shots and much older in others--bizarre) follows the "clueless" formula: Be completely shallow in the beginning, screw up and lose face in the middle, redeem oneself and get the right man at the end of this movie. It's pretty generic and depends on the lead female character to be charming enough to fool the audience into believing that the story is actually fresh. Dunst pulls it off. She is aided by co-star Eliza Dushku, who does a decent job as her teammate. They have a good buddy chemistry together. Dunst also creates the chemistry with her male love-interest Jesse Bradford, who plays his character with some sarcastic (if lifeless) wit. However, he produces no chemistry himself therefore making his role as Torrance's lover interest unbelievable. Other sub-par performance come from over the top idiot choreography wannabee Sparky Polanski (Ian Roberts), her jealous "friends/rivals" and Torrance's younger brother, who has no role other than to be a pest. Also, the subplot involving the East Compton Clovers or the stereotype that Male Cheerleaders are automatically considered gay are more interesting, but are only given surface treatment. The ultimate factor why I recommend this movie is the Cheerleading itself. While I am not interested in competitive cheerleading, the movie provided excitement in the way it shot the scenes and the energy that was shown on the screen. I actually could believe that these actresses/actors could actually be cheerleaders. For that eye-candy I give high credit to the Choreographers of this movie. If you though Clueless was a great movie, then this movie will be pleasantly interesting. However, if you think plays by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov are simplistic, I don't think you'll like this lighter than air fare....Rating: C+ DVD Note: The DVD is a very clean copy that tends to be over processed towards the bass. Has the standard special features including deleted scenes, behind the scenes, theatrical previews. One thing that was cool was the pop-up feature that appears a-la-VH1's popup video show.
Rating: Summary: Christinas review Review: I think this is one of the most entertaining and funny movies I have seen in a long time. The songs in it are funny and good. The story line was interesting and it kept you watching. I could watch this movie a hundred times or more, I've already watched it probably 20 or more times, since I've owned it.

Rating: Summary: Great Cheerleading Movie Review: Torrance (Kirsten Dunst), the new captain of a high school cheerleading team, finds that the cheerleading routines aren't as original as she thought; she feels obligated to make things right. Great performances by the film's cast makes this one enjoyable movie. The cheerleading performances are excellent; however, the competitive nature and subsequent friendship between the Toros and the Clovers are, in my opinion, the highlight of the film--it is superb. The commentary about the deleted and extended scenes after the closing credits are great, and the deleted and extended scenes themeselves are excellent. I strongly recommend the purchase of this film.
Rating: Summary: A hot chick flick with not a bad story. Review: What a great movie. I saw it with a bunch of guys and we thought it was half-decent. The story was pretty corny in some ways but it was very entertaining. The babes made the movie enjoyable for guys. Kirsten (not Kristen) Dunst is a true beauty. She is a very talented actress and I look forward to seeing her in many other movies. This movie, has a lot of Laugh Out Loud humor. I found many of the jokes funny (especially the male cheerleaders!). Girls, I think they love this movie. In the halls, I always hear "I saw BUR!! It's cold in here. I say there most be some toros on the atmosphere! It'll be stuck in your head i warn. In the end, i think this movie is worth seeing. Girls will love it and guys will enjoy it. It's just the way things are.
Rating: Summary: Bring on.. Review: Bring on the laughs and the fun. This movie (like the routines)is very original. The movie is about Torrance (Kirsten Dunst), the cheerleading team captain of the Toros. Once Missy (Eliza Dushku)joins the team, she notices something isn't right. Then she brings Torrance to the Clover's team. That is when Torrance realizes the whole thing is a joke. Former team captain Big Red is the one who stole the Clover's cheers. Both teams square off with the hottest routines at nationals. This movie is comedy at its best. It is a funny movie with clever and thought. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Fun! & Smart! Review: Bring It On is one of the many films that i love! it has lots of comedic performaces from such great actors! The cast is amazing! Kirsten Dunst shines in this movie! so does Eliza Dushku and Jessie Bradford! The cheers are excellent and the soundtrack rocks! The story of the movie is new and fresh. I never noticed that cheerleading was this exciting! This is one movie that I recommend to anyone who wants good laughs and great fun! And after you watch the movie, I'm sure you'll want to own it!
