We liked Bring it On, that’s why we checked out Bring It On Again. Alas. The sequel is somewhere between real bad and boring. It’s mean, but true.

Characters: We have all new characters in the Bring It On Again. However, these “new” characters have the same personalities as the people in the previous movie – truth to tell, the character mix seem the same as a lot of other teen-movies (gothic-type girl, gay guy, loser guy who falls for the main character etc.). No surprises here.

Plot: Plot, whatever there is of it, is totally predictable – nothing to give away. College cheerleading squad is (duh?) National Champion. New girls (main characters) come in and want to join – predictable freshmen humor. The captain is cartoonishly mean. When her friend is cut from the team for “insubordination” the main character leaves also, rally karate guys, ballerinas and Shakespeare theater troupe to make a new cheerleading team and wins the day.

Impressions:
“It was kind of interesting to watch because the first one was real good and you expect the second one to be good too” – comment from my teenage daughter. “Totally predictable”, “the characters are all the same – no surprises: I expected the “gothic” girl will fall at least twice, well, she fell five times.” – some other comments from the same source. “It’s for younger people” – from a twelve year-old.

Conclusion:
An Ok for a bored afternoon, Even if you fall asleep during the movie (despite loud music and screaming) you can snap right in – it will feel that you did not miss much.
