Amazon.co.uk Review
An unexpected box office hit in the late summer of 2000, IBring It On/I is a smart, snappy teen comedy that bristles with good cheer (literally) and lively, down-to-earth characters. Sunny, happy Torrance (Kirsten Dunst) is the new leader of the Toros, the cheerleading squad of Rancho Carne, an affluent San Diego high school that has lousy football players but one hell of a cheerleading team. National champions, they're the ones who bring in the bodies to the football games with their award-winning moves and sassy grace, and they're poised to take their sixth national cheer title. Torrance's new reign as cheer queen, though, is cut short when she discovers that her snotty, duplicitous forerunner was regularly stealing routines from the East Compton Clovers, the hip-hop influenced cheerleaders of a poor inner city school, and passing them off as the original work of the Toros. Scrambling to come up with a new routine for the Toros--and do the right thing by giving the Clovers their due--Torrance butts heads with the proud and understandably wary Isis (Gabrielle Union), the leader of the Clovers, who wants nothing to do with a rich blonde white girl, but does want to get her squad to the championships. Problem is, only one team can take home the national title. Who's it gonna be? The story may be fairly predictable (who's going to win the big championship?), but director Peyton Reed and screenwriter Jessica Bendinger have fleshed out their characters with formidable strength and provided them with sharp dialogue. Dunst is a radiant comedienne, projecting warmth, determination, sincerity, and a sublime airheadedness, and Union is an impressive dancer and counterpart to Dunst, matching her admirably despite her limited onscreen time. An excellent young supporting cast rounds out the film, most notably Eliza Dushku (Faith of IBuffy the Vampire Slayer/I) and Jesse Bradford (Steven Soderbergh's IKing of the Hill/I) as siblings new to Rancho Carne, who become Torrance's best friend and potential new boyfriend, respectively. All in all, a pleasantly surprising and intelligent teen movie. --IMark Englehart, Amazon.com/I

5 out of 5 stars A Fun Movie!   January 7, 2009
Just a short review to say that Bring It On is a great movie. Not the type of movie that will win at the Oscars but certainly the type of movie that is very enjoyable.br /br /It has a great cast, excellent cheer routines, a bit of romance, it's funny and definitely worth watching if you're into fun teen movies. I personally consider this to be one of the best teen movies there is and it's enjoyable for adults. I remember when this was released and it was absolutely loved at our school, by guys and girls. Whenever we could watch a video this would be one of the most popular choices.br /br /The DVD also has quite a few good extras.

3 out of 5 stars very lively and funny film   May 21, 2008
Bring It On is a very lively and funny film about two rival high school cheer leading squads who are aiming for the national title as best team.The humour is relatively subtle compared to a lot of high school films - hence certificate 12 years - and the aggressive competitive nature and spirit of the teenagers portrayed is realistic.Worth watching just to see how good these cheerleading dance/acrobatic routines are.


5 out of 5 stars Ssssshhhhh - this is secretly one of my favourite films   September 18, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This one's a real guilty pleasure of mine - the kind of film I really shouldn't like and yet somehow (and secretly) I love. It's set in the colourful and slightly silly world of competitive cheerleading, and it sees perky new squad captain Torrance (Kirsten Dunst) face a potentially devastating cheer-tastrophe when she discovers her team's championship-winning routines have been stolen from a rival squad. Can Torrance keep her team together and learn a bunch of original moves in time for the national championship? I'm not telling. You have to watch the film to find out.br /br /I was initially drawn to this one because it features two actresses from one of my favourite TV shows - Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Eliza Dushku (Faith) plays rebellious new cheerleader Missy, and Clare Kramer (Glory) has a funny supporting role as the catty Courtney. The weird thing is, there are other little connections I discovered as the film progressed. It was shot at the same Spanish-looking school that stood in for Sunnydale High, the score is by Buffy composer Christophe Beck, and Buffy herself is referenced in a line of dialogue. One of the characters even uses the word `effulgent'. Maybe that last one is a coincidence, I don't know, but Spike would be so proud! Given the familiar faces and locations, you could almost imagine Bring It On is some kind of side story that's happening while the slayer is otherwise engaged fighting vampires and demons and whatnot.br /br /Even if you're not a terrible Buffy nerd (like me), there's plenty to recommend this one. For a start, it's very funny, and there are several moments that had me laughing out loud, especially the audition scene (which sees a parade of terrible applicants try out for the team), the hilarious choreographer Sparky Polastri ("Cheerleaders are dancers who have gone retarded"), and every single time someone made a pun using the word `cheer'. Also, the film has a sweet, naive quality that wins you over, and it manages to have a lot of fun with the cheerleading world without ever stooping to mocking it. br /br /So, this is hardly great cinema, and I'd prefer if you didn't tell anyone how much I like it (just writing this review is losing me precious man points), but it's a very bubbly and enjoyable way to fritter away a couple of hours.


1 out of 5 stars Cogito Ergo Dum   August 11, 2007
  1 out of 14 found this review helpful

Some movies aren't simply movies for their own sake, they exist as a counterweight to other, far worthier movies - Motion Pictures of weight and cultural influence. QED.br /br /Hence, "Bring It On" is the counterweight of Leni Riefenstahl's "The Triumph Of The Will". I doubt it is more possible for two so-called Cultural Artifacts to be any further apart. Riefenstahl films her targets going through the Olympic motions, Cheerleading frames in utter rank American decadence Kirsten Dunst, the unholy buffoon, the incarnation of a bleeding Mammon, dragging the entire Human Race down with her, into the depths of inadequacy.br /br /Do not watch this movie, treat it like a lump of Uranium-265. bury it in a coffin of lead, fear it's million year half-life. We have all been warned. br /
