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: BRING IT ON INDEED, BECAUSE IT GETS NOWHERE AND FAST.
Review: To be fair, this cheery travesty of a movie had the potential to be several different kinds of movies.

It could have been a hilarious satire on the rah-rah spirit behind the odd concept that cheerleading is a sport in itself, and there were flashes of this at times. It could have been a serious movie about the effort and dedication it takes to become the best at something, and there were more than a few flashes of that. It could have also been a "Rocky" or "Karate Kid" type movie where the underdog fights against all odds to come out on top, and it seems that was what the filmmakers were aiming for, but they picked the wrong characters for the leads for us to root for that.

What we end up with though is mere hints of all of the above, and no follow-through on any consistent theme. The first 30 minutes of the film have several satirical gags about the cheerleaders but then insists that we take them seriously later on. I spent close to the entire movie trying to decide whether I should be rooting for the central characters or their rivals.

The acting isn't bad and the cheer routines are done well. They may even be the most entertaining part of the entire movie. There are several laughs, mostly in the first part of the movie. After that it gets dull and plodding. You never get to know any of the secondary characters at all, which wouldn't be a problem in a satire but is a problem when the movie starts taking itself seriously.

Overall, a seriously mediocre movie, and the sad part is that it had the potential to be so much better if someone would have decided what the hell they wanted to do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bring It On-DVD Version
Review: If you love movies about cheerleaders, than I really recommend you to see this movie. "Bring It On" it is a comedy about a group
called Toros. The Toros had been the winner for 5 years in a roll
in the cheerleaders competitions.But this year they all find out that all of they routines had been stolen from another group of cheerleaders called Clovers.

The DVD is great.

The DVD features are:

Blaque "As If" video clip

Deleted scenes

Commentory by Peyton Reed

and many much cool features.

Gabrielle Union and Blaque are also in the movie.They are the
Toros' rivals. I bouth the movie only because Blaque was in it.
Blaque also sang a song for the movie "As If".

Lots Of Love,
Fulliem Q. XOXOXOXOXOXO

Summary: Can not turn it off!
Review: Kirsten Dunst is so much fun to watch- her enthusiasm and charm make this fluffy lightweight teeny bopper flick a fun guilty pleasure worthy of popcorn and Diet Coke by the gallons

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Movie gets 2 stars, DVD extras get 6 stars!
Review: The movie itself was dreck. Bad script; bad acting; bad dialouge. However, the deleted sceens save the day. The sceen where Kristin Dunst and Eliza Dushka sit in a car waving all four bare soles to the camera is worthy of celebration.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Smart Teen Comedy!!!
Review: This is a smart and frequently funny "teen" film in the same vein as "Sugar and Spice" and "Clueless." I recommend seeing both of those films as well. I was at the age of 32 when I first saw this for rental at my local video store and I was very reluctant...but the critical reviews were good, and Kirsten Dunst is looking incredibly sexy on the cover, so...here I am writing a glowing review for what I initially thought would be a steaming pile of lame adolescent humor with mediocre writing. The humor is a combination of wit and sexual innuendo, and the writing is...dare I say it..."exceptional?" The writing is well thought out and snappy, cerebral and sexy. I actually cared about all the characters here, and snickered at the ones that appalled me. If nothing else, (guys?) Eliza Dushku and Kirsten Dunst are both alluring and attractive, physically and intellectually. What is going on these days, anyway? The "teen-comedy" genre is now wittier and more intelligent than most adult fare? YES!!! Apparently, it is true. Give this movie a shot if you want to be pleasantly surprised.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very surprisingly decent comedy
Review: OK, I will admit that I watched this for one and only one reason: I'm a major fan of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, and I thought it would be fun to see a film with two major characters from BUFFY in a different context, Eliza Dushku (Faith) and Clare Kramer (Glory, the hell goddess from Season Five and the second blonde lead in this one after Kirsten Dunst). I was surprised that the film actually stood up on its own. No question a lot of this is due to the fact that the leads are talented. Kirsten Dunst has since begun to develop into one of the hot actresses in Hollywood, and Eliza Dushku has been a scene-stealer in everything she has been in. In BUFFY, there wasn't a moment when her Faith didn't dominate every scene she was in, and while she hasn't yet really gotten the kinds of roles she should, one can't help but feel that, as they say, her future is in front of her. Gabrielle Union, who plays the head of the inner-city cheerleading squad, is also a very charismatic performer. To be honest, all of them are a lot better than this movie, but they all conspire to make what might have been a pretty average picture very decent indeed.

The pretext of the film is a mainly white (with token Asians) high school is five time national cheerleading champions, despite the fact that their football team is hideous (at the football game, the fans lamely applaud the football team, but passionately greet the cheerleading squad). Unknown to the members of the squad, however, they have managed this under their former captain by stealing routines from an underexposed but extraordinarily talented inner city high school, where she would go to film their routines. A newcomer to the squad, Missy, recognizes the routines as having originated elsewhere, and this creates a moral crisis for the squad, and especially for their new captain, played by Kirsten Dunst. From this point on, the film should be fairly predictable, but the great thing is that it isn't at all. Is it all improbable? Of course. But is it fun? Sure.

One more bit of Buffy trivia, while Eliza Dushku was in this one with Clare Kramer, this past year she was in a pretty miserable movie (despite starring one of my favorite actors, Terence Stamp) called THE KISS in which Charlie Weber appeared, who played "Ben" in Season Five of Buffy and who was, of course, linked in the same body with Clare Kramer's "Glory."

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bring It On
Review: I really had no intention of watching this movie but people kept telling me how funny it was and it came on a movie channel so I was like sure why not? Well unfortunately for me 'funny' never came. This movie had absolutely no funny parts or even parts that were semi appealing. It's about a cheerleading squad going to finals or whatever and one them is a bit grundgy and...is that it? I don't remember. Did I completely dislike this movie because I don't like chick flicks? Probably so but I did enjoy 'Legally Blonde' once it started rolling and got past the completely ridiculous beginning scenes (I guess the onces that were supposed to be funny). So yeah you might enjoy this movie if your into chick flicks or you just really wanna see alot of cheerleaders do flips and what have you but other than that I'd saty away from this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: horrible blonde mess
Review: What a flop. How could this aimless, trashy movie get any high ratings? A tasteless movie with the usually smiley airhead Kirsten Dunst, once again proving she is good for nothing other than standing there and looking stupid. Certainly gave females everywhere a bad name. If you have only a few brain cells in your head and are still in 10th grade, go check it out.
