Summary: The Toros'....the mighty mighty Toros'!!
Review: This is a kick butt cheerleading movie. Full of cheerleading, love and funky music. The Toros'are fighting to win 1st place in the cheerleading championships, but they have a rival - the Clovers. Will their cheer out cheer everyone elses? Will their moves impress the judges? This movie is non stop fun from beginning to end...the best cheerleading movie to date!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too bad 1 star is the lowest available ranking....
Review: I rented this movie with low expectations, I mean, how good could a cheerleader movie be? Well, not only was it not good, it was HORRIBLE. Kirsten Dunst was the stiffest, most irritating cheerleader I have ever seen. If you miss the opening cheer (1st scene), then you miss the best part of the movie...and even this scene is bad. Save your money and spend the night staring at the wall, it will be more interesting than this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cheerleading rocks!!!!
Review: This film is the greatest! I got it on video 4 my birthday after renting it out loads from the video shop! I especially love the way this film shows what cheerleading really is- a sport combining gymnastics and dancing, not some pathetic chants for a bunch of bimbos. I go cheerleading myself and I hate it when people think they can call themselves cheerleaders by waving pom poms in the air and yelling ' Go Team, Go!'. As well as having loads of great routines that you can try to copy, it's also a really entertaining romantic comedy. I would recomend it to anyone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very fun and original movie
Review: Bring it On takes us into the world of competitive high school cheerleading, featuring the story of an upper-class San Diego high school squad. The squad's leader, Torrance (played by Kirsten Dunst), discovers that all of her squad's cheers, which she inherited from the previous squad leader, were stolen from an East Compton (in the vicinity of South Central L.A.) high school squad. The two cheerleading teams find themselves pitted against one another. As leader of her squad, Torrance tries to find a way to do the right thing. On the one hand, it's wrong to use another team's cheers, while on the other, she has a championship legacy to uphold for her school. All this against the backdrop of a series of state and national competitions in which the two squads face off against one another.

Sound flighty and inconsequential? Probably is, but this movie is great at NOT taking itself too seriously, poking fun at cheerleading at every turn while still making it fun to watch and appreciate. From the trials and tribulations of the new squad leader, to the plight of the male cheerleaders on the squad (constantly berated by the football players) to the new team member who'd rather be doing gymnastics, the characters are interesting and fun. The competition scenes are fun, too. If you've ever watched any of those college cheerleading competitions on ESPN2 or any of the other networks, you know what I mean.

This is a great film. My 9-year-old daughter loved it. Parents beware, however, the language is a bit harsh for children's ears at times, there's a bit of sexual innuendo, and I have to admit that I'm concerned that my daughter will adopt that teenage Southern California accent before her time by watching movies of the teen genre! All in all, though, this movie's a lot of fun to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE THIS MOVIE
Review: I never wanted to be a cheerleader until I saw this movie. Now ive become obsessed with cheerleading! The cheer in the beginning of the movie is great and its easy to memorize! All the people in this movie match perfectly for their character! I reccomend this movie to everyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILARIOUS!
Review: This movie is sssssooooo funny. I love it! I've watched it so many times on our DVD player. Even if you hate cheerleaders, or if you ARE one, its for you. This review may not be much, but the key thing that makes this movie good is that it's funny, and eventful. It's always got your attention. Thats what a good flick is...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BRING IT!!!
Review: This is one of my favorite movies yet!! Im not exactly the 'Cheerleader type' though I was a cheerleader last year. Its a halarious movie! Its intention wasn't to make fun of cheerleaders, but I think it kind of pokes fun of those 'fake' cheerleaders who purposely try to be 'dumb blondes' which is something that needed to be done. Anyway, it really is a great movie that revolvs entirely around a cheerleading squad in a really fun-ny way. But it does show how hard competative cheer squads must work to get far through cat fights, odd choreographers and pickpocketing cheers. This DVD version, especially is great because of all the bounus extras you can check out like the makeing of Bring it On, Scenes that have been deleated(some R so funny!), Blaque "As If" music video and so much more that makes it worth it to get a DVD player! I defenately recomend this to all the teens out there! ...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dunst would never have been a real cheerleader
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but Kirsten Dunst gave cheerleaders a poor image. She had no real poise, and her arm movements were loose. She stuck out like a sore thumb. Kirsten should have patterned her movements after her fellow squad members. She could have learned a great deal from them.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Average teen movie made better by good performances
Review: I came to this movie with high expectations. It had received good reviews and had become a smash hit. The story was a send-up of cheerleaders too, and send-ups are always fun. The story here is of a cheer team that discover that all their past trophies have been a joke, with dance routines ripped off from another local high school. They've got to come up with a new routine...and fast!

It contains some of the best teen actresses around. Unfortunately Kirsten Dunst never really gets to show what she's made of in an easy role. Yet she's certainly never less than effective as our heroine and, most importantly we root for her. Still, I can't help but think she was that much more effective as the dreamy troubled teen in 'The Virgin Suicides' or as an eternal child in 'Interview With The Vampire'. The supporting cast is great though, with Eliza Dushku and Clare Kramer (Faith and Glory respectively from 'Buffy', although you might remember Dushku from earlier movies such as 'True Lies' or 'That Night') shining. Both give great pep to their roles. In fact, there's a little bit of a 'Buffy' theme going on here. Sharp-eyed viewers may spot one of the Cordettes playing Whitney, and the school looks an awful lot like Sunnydale High. Oh, and there's also Valerie from 'Sabrina' playing Big Red.

The best points of the movie are the hilarious routine at the start, with the girls strutting their stuff with pasted smiles on their faces, and the dance routines themselves. They are not only superbly choreographed but absolutely stunning to watch. Plus, the way in which these girls flaunt their sexuality whilst still remaining perfectly virginal is obviously intentional and well observed.

However, the movie is dragged downhill by several things. Firstly, for all its efforts not to be conventional, it's blatantly obvious who the heroine will end up with. Cue the obligatory cute (but thankfully not obnoxious) romance. Also, there's the fact that the winners of the cheerleading finals were not as good as those that came second place. This may not seem like a big thing but when watching it's incredibly annoying.

At the end of the day this is more enjoyable than a lot of teen movies out there, but it's by no means spectacular.
