Rating: Summary: Can we say w-i-c-k-e-d?? Review: I have 2 say. Most teeny films I would say have no substance at all. but this film was so incredibly silly that it was actuualy quite good. Bring It On is based on a a cheerleading captain Torrance[Kirsten Dunst] who has to deal with the mistakes her senior cheerleading captain made...The old captain literally stole moves from another team[East Compton] and now Torrance has to pay the consequences. Torrnace has to get her team to the National Cheerleading Competition but knowing East Comptaon will do the same moves..wouldnt that be a probelm?? This film has a brilliant witty dialoue adn is incredibly funny how it pokes fun at cheerleaders and how pathetic some cheerleaders can be. I enjoyed this film...
Rating: Summary: I can't even explain Review: WOW - I don't think I have laughed so hard since I saw The Naked Gun; the only difference is this film is not a comedy (or maybe it is)? I don't know where to begin, this film even gives me confidence that I can write a script and sell it to studio execs. No plot, no story, no character development - if your looking for an upbeat film of this sort you mind as well stay at home and tape the Sunday USA movie of the week which nine times out of ten will be The Karate Kid Part 2 or The North Shore, both of which still make me shed a tear each time I see them.
Rating: Summary: Worth a look Review: My expectations were sortid, Kirsten Dunst is a very talented actress who is going to go far in the next few years. She plays a good cheerleader with a lot of heart to her role.In short Dunst discovers that her Cheer Squad has unknowingly stolen cheers from a rival school and become champions. With the help of bad girl Eliza Dushku she tries to clean the slate and enter the championship on her own to feet. Dunst goes to great lengths to redeem her squad, even convincing her father to help the rival team get into the contest so that she can compete against the best. 'Bring It On' is appropriate for children and even sets a good example of sportsmanship. Among other things this movie is really very funny. It mocks the intensity of teenagers without being insulting. This movie kept me laughing from a brilliantly filmed toothbrush scene between Dunst and the romantic lead, to the hilarious Urban Cheer legends. It was entertaining enough that I saw it twice in the theatres and am going to buy it as soon as it is available. A movie that 'Bring It On' can be compared to is 'Coyote Ugly' which I enjoyed. I feel 'Bring It On' was far more entertaining.
Rating: Summary: BRING IT ON, the one of the best movies of the year! Review: There were so many good movies that came out in the year 2001. But, none of them were dancing movies that made you want to just "get up and dance" like Bring It On did! Bring It On is a great movie. I saw that movie in theatres 5 times, I enjoyed it so much. I can't wait to get Bring It On on DVD. BRING IT ON IS A MUST SEE MOVIE!
Rating: Summary: Meant to be fun Review: I liked it..it was fun to watch. Kirsten was definately the right person to play the role she did. She was formerly a cheerleader which made it all the better. The stunts are awesome. And the dialogue is catchy. I'd just like to reply to Mr. Todd Gray's review...the movie does have a lot of i guess you could say, prejiduce between stereotypes, but thats whats going on in schools today. Thats what was going on yesterday. Thats whats going to happen most likely tomorrow. The movie is showing what's going on in highschools now. It's not trying to tell viewers that cheerleaders are better, or if you're not in fashion, youre not cool. We know the truth in that so it shouldnt matter on how great the movie is. Bring it on is showing whats going on today, the characters are funny and its just an enjoyable movie. I recommend it for those that can watch with an open mind and just want to sit back and watch a teen comedy.
Rating: Summary: shake that....pom pom! Review: Shake that....pom pom! From the opener to the surprise end of Bring It On, you'll be laughing, hard. When I went to see this, I wasn't expecting much...but it's a great movie! Compared to recent teen junk like Boys & Girls, it's like a masterpiece. Go see it, rent it, or buy it! It's definitely worth your dime.
Rating: Summary: Great, great, great! Review: As the cinema lights dimmed and "Bring It On" began, I just had a feeling that I'd enjoy the movie ... and I did. The high points of this movie were, first of all, the acting. The chemistry that Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Bradford share is amazing. Secondly, the cheerleading sequences were absolutely outstanding. Also, the plot, although being a little tired (i.e. boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy gets girl) was really well-structured. Nothing was over-done. In a nutshell, this movie was extremely entertaining and funny.
Rating: Summary: Just Fun Review: I saw this movie with my little sister, thinking this was going to be a horrendous and hackneyed story. It turned out not to be so. The story is actually quite good, with the occasional stereotype thrown in to show you, that this is in fact a Hollywood film. The main characters are Torrance Shipman played by Kirsten Dunst, the painfully perky leader. Another is Missy played by Eliza Dushku, the "rebel" who does gymnastics in her spare time, a ludricous concept to say the least. The last main character is Isis, played very well by Gabrielle Union, she is the leader of a rival cheerleader squad in East Compton. The three leads are very well played, and are very engaging, and all have great one-liners. The plot is quite engaging. I don't like to give away the plot in my reviews, since I like going in clean myself. The great thing about this movie, is that the production team and actors, never take the material too seriously, and everything is tongue in cheek. That just lets the audience escape from reality for 90 minutes and have fun. This movie is just fun and I highly recommend.
Rating: Summary: Bring Your Pom-Poms! Review: This is a sassy and entertaining movie from start to finish. With all the great humour, snappy dialogue, romance and cheer routines that you could ever need, I highly recommend this thoroughly enjoyable popcorn movie. Eliza Dushku is very good as the cynical Missy, but just wait until you see her brother Cliff 'Pant One' Pantone, played by Jesse Bradford. He is so gorgeous that gorgeous is not the right word to describe him! He made the romantic moments wonderful, as you envy Kirsten Dunst's Torrance for being the one that he obviously fancies. The rival cheerleading squad, The Clovers are just fantastic at what they do. I was going for them all the way. The hoons at the High School, who pick on Cliff, as well as the featured male cheerleaders, are very funny because they are so dumb and mean. I couldn't find one boring moment in this one. I just feel like going to see it again, and then getting it on DVD! It may be the first ever movie to make cheerleading seem the least bit challenging. Here we find out that you need a helluva lot of guts, strength, dedication and determination to go with your pretty blonde hair and sexy legs. What more can I say? Bring It On!! (Cliff, Cliff, wherefore art thou Cliff?)
Rating: Summary: Unrealised Potential Review: I went into "Bring It On" thinking that it would be a clever satire, in the same vein as "Drop Dead Gorgeous" or "Clueless." The opening dream sequence was promising, and it had so much material to work with... I was disappointed. "Bring It On" is another one of those movies that celebrate the human spirit. Good will always triumph, the guy gets the girl, etc, etc. Essentially, it's another one of those feel-good sports movies - the only difference is that *that* sport just happens to be cheerleading. But that's not to say that I didn't enjoy it. The plot was wafer-thin, but it was packed with good performances - Dunst and Bradford were solid with good chemistry together, Dushku is an excellent talent (who deserves more to work with) and watch out for scene-stealing performances by Gabrielle Union and the girl-group Blaque. The direction was energetic and the cheerleading "stunts" was amazing to watch on the big screen. Still, it was in enticing such a the cast, where the producers really lucked out on. The acting made it better than what it may have been, but the movie could have been much better.
