The newest, and probably first, true cheerleading movie.

Clever, slightly edgy fun.

Just wanted to watch something fun and easy on Christmas Eve evening and this fitted the bill perfectly.

It's an okay brat movie.

Succeeds in displaying the physical drive and demands of cheerleading.

Enough pep in this picture to make it rise above teen-movie expectations.

Starts strong, but then falters.

It's not until the plot surfaces that Bring It On really begins to suffer.

I only watched this movie cause I have a crush on Eliza Dushku. It was a lot funnier then I could have ever imagined. Who would of thought a cheer leader movie could be this entertaining. I liked it, it was actually a good movie.

A fairly typical late-90's early-00's film where girls talk to each other exclusively in their bras and pop-punk music is a substitute for personality. However, over and above this, director Peyton Reed does an admirably creative and energetic job and Kirsten Dunst elevates the material as she always, always does.I can't figure out if the characters are ahead of their time or of it, I can't figure out if they are to be appreciated or hated, and I'm not sure the script or actors know **** thing is though, this movie isn't bad. It's fun and while it doesn't have a lot progressive or cute to say like Mean Girls or Heathers, it's not all backwards and the franchise (although rinsed to within an inch of its life on the Direct-to-Video market) has potential, if not just to be a pithy and fun musical adaptation like everything else these days.

Ah les pom-pom girls, quelle magnifique invention américaine ! dommage que l’on n’ait pas importé cette belle pratique en Europe, car c’est vraiment un beau sport (et en effet, c’est bel et bien du sport -de haut niveau- même si cela semble ‘trivial’ a priori !). Il y a aussi des mecs là-dedans et il en faut, car ce sont les porteurs qui portent et propulsent dans les airs de belles jambonneuses premier choix, c’est peu de le dire… les filles sont toujours bien sûr les vraies vedettes, surtout en la présence de deux bombasses, Kirsten Dunst et Eliza Dushku, excusez du peu… De belles chorégraphies assurément ici mais aussi cependant (hélas) de l’eau de rose à un demi-dollar et un mélange de bêtise et de niaiserie assez alarmant, quasiment tout du long… oui, ça commence à faire beaucoup. J’avais vu le film il y a un bout de temps et il m’avait laissé un meilleur souvenir que ça. On ne s’ennuie pas pour autant mais ça tourne en rond et ça manque un peu d’humour, un peu de recul satirique et ce sont justement ces deux éléments que l’on trouve dans la suite, American Girls 2 ! lequel est contre toute attente sensiblement mieux finalement… alors que les suites, on le sait, peuvent souvent marquer le pas… mais ce n’est clairement pas le cas ici. Bref, on a un peu trop de premier degré (ce qui ne veut pas dire que le film se prenne au sérieux, loin de là) et un côté neuneu un peu trop prononcé pour une comédie bêbête mais qui se laisse regarder (et mater) sans effort (ah oui, j’allais oublier… elles lavent -aussi- les voitures !).

movie was alright, Kirstin Dunst did a good job, follows your typical teen movie plot set up. acting is a bit spotty, very litlle funny moments, has it's it's moments but falls flat in others, teenage girls will get a kick out of it. everyone else won't
