The People's Review of Bring It On
Patricia
score = 10
It's a pity the score tab couldn't go down any lower, or else I would've
given this overly produced, diminishing, and brassy movie a 2! The movie
was depleted, cloying, and definitely humorless. The film's idea of
showing a cheerleader's life is stupefied, with as littile subtle as
possible, resulting in a great deal of sickeningly artificial
sentimentality. For me, the unpleasant mix of saccharine moralizing and
salty gags is like eating bacon dipped in chocolate sauce. The dancing and
routines were deadening and the music selection awe-inspiring! And as for
the title, only said once throughout the whole movie, I know this isn't
supposed to be cared for, but it was a highly dependable one-liner, that
should have been used more over. If you are a person with no life and
needs a bit of pazzazz to spice it up, because you can't be bothered
making some friends or spending time with your family or doing anything
that is even one bit useful, then this is the movie for you. For the most
part, Bring It On is more likely to induce sleep and slumber than laughter
or dancing.

This is definitely a case of don't judge a book by its cover. Although it
looks like a ditzy cheerleading saga, it's not. The cheer sequences are
fantastic, and the directors have tried really hard to add new variations
on the usual plots. Plus Blaque's appearance is a definite plus :o) The
music is also quite catchy. Anyone know the name of the 'Prepare for Total
Domination' - aka 'spirit fingers' song? If you do, email me at karynw@mail.com
I've been dying to know.....thanks!

comments = Okay, yes, i know that this movie was made as complete cheese.
Yes, I know that it's a little shallow and some of the acting is rather
UPN-ish. BUT I LOVE THIS FREAKIN' MOVIE!!! I've seen it like 6
times and I still can't get enough. I had SO many cheeerleader
friends in high school and this reminds me of them. The banter is
witty and the comedy is timed very well. And I'm tired of seeing
these teen movies where the high school kids are all deep and
philosophical. Their dialogue is totally out of the range of
reality. Bring It On brings the reality into a new and inventive
teen flick. Watch it alone, watch it with a friend, but you owe it to
yourself to take a trip back to high school with Bring It On.

summer long. I went and saw that movie Aug.26/00

wish I could do stuff like that my fave. cheerleading squad was the
Clovers they were tight. Well gotta go by!!

comments = The music and cheer routines were great. The story could
use a little work, but all in all, a good movie. If you are a
cheerleader or a dancer, this movie is for you...

comments = I loved this movie, not many show the truth behind
cheerleading, were not all over sexed bimbo's in short skirts! it really
is a sport. thanks for making a light hearted movie with out all the
misconception! and Eliza Dushku is great! I remember her as Faith in Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, seeing her in this movie was kind of weird, so
"out of characture" compared to what i was used to seeing her
in, it made the movie that much funnier!

an excellent movie which is well worth seeing, this is in my opinion a
"go see it again" kind of film simply because it was mad for
people of my age group. It recieved low scores here because the opinions
came from adults where as mine is coming from a 13 year old teenager.

"Bring it on" is a really good movie if you like dance and
cheerleaders. The history is like another one... no big deal ! But
soundtrack and dances were really cool. GO SEE IT for the dances, not for
the text !

Being a head cheerleader, I thought this movie was great! A must see!
Kirsten Dunst was AMAZING and I was blown away by the stunting, dancing,
and cheering! My cheer squad and I went and we were laughing the whole
time! It's our new goal to go to Nationals and we plan to watch Bring It
On all the way there! My new nickname is "Torrance"! Thanks SO
much to the people who made this movie for giving my squad and I hope for
our cheering future! CHEERING IS THE LIFE! Lotz of luv,
"Torrance"/Amber

I am a cheerleader and this was the best movie i have seen in a long time!
Not only was the choreography AMAZING, but the script was well written and
there was not a scene that wasn't hilarious in some way. I would take out
a lot of the romance, not every movie has to have it. Other than that I
loved it! Go Toros!

Cute, clean. Bring It On proves that you can entertain without sex,
drugs and violence. The plot was simple and straightforward, the
characters were typical teens and the outcome satisfying. Actually,
I would rate it a 65 but the auto-scorer wants round numbers. You
should see it at a Matinee, but I try to see EVERYTHING at a matinee.
The cheerleading competition routines were excellent. Go See.

This was a really good movie. It was very funny and the tension was
building up to the climax. Actors were great and very in tune with
character. Go see this movie if you're ready to laugh and see some great
cheers and gynastics/dance moves!!!!!!!!!!!Also, Missy Pantone(Eliza
Dushku)was my favorite character, so much sass!!!!!!!!!!

wOw!!!!!!!!!1 And I mean WoW. I am a cheerleader and this movie
gives me hope for the future. I loved it. It was the best movie I

We cheered and claaped the whole time. I love to ChEeR. I want
to thank Peyton Reed for making this movie it gave me hope. I Love

This movie was so funny. Me and my friend were laughing our heads off most
of the time. It's not really like my school, but most teen movies
don't really relate to real high schools and stuff. But it was
mainly funny and alittle over the top.

I
haven't laughed at movies alot like I did this one...I shouldn't say
laughed at I mean I laughed through it because it was so funny. It
had the right amount of romance, fun, friendships, laughter and coolness.
This movie is The Bomb - it didn't bomb out.

Torrance Shipman (Kirsten Dunst) is a typical all-American high school girl. Since being been named captain of her school's championship-winning cheerleading squad, the San Diego Toros, she's on top of the world. She's determined that nothing -- not even her homework, her nagging parents or her perfect college boyfriend -- get in the way of leading her squad to its sixth consecutive national title.
