Bring It On

Pros: funny; warm; not obscene; no blood and gore; great routines; did I mention funny?
Cons: You want Tolstoy? Read Tolstoy.

OK so you have these high school cheerleaders doing their thing and then one of them realizes she's naked, and I'm thinking OK, you stole that from an old Harvard Lampoon, or whatever it was. This better get more original. But it's only a dream, and ...

Pros: A lot of really funny lines.
Cons: Stereotypes, I guess.

Bring It On is your typical teen movie. I'm not your typical teen. I'm a 32-year old mother of two, the oldest being a kindergartner. I work in a bank. I wasn't a cheerleader in high school, despite trying out, humiliatingly, twice. How can...

Pros: Funny One Liners, It is full of spark, and shows Eliza Dushku prancing around
Cons: Might prove to be too juvenile for some

"Bring It On" is a movie that understands what it is. A movie for teens, about leaders of the cheer. Much like "American Pie" and "Get Over It", it is immature and full of pop cinematography. But that is precisely what they are going for. Much like ...

Pros: Kirsten Dunst, portrayal of cheerleading life
Cons: portrayal of cheerleaders, plot overused

I was a bit skeptical about watching a movie about cheerleaders but I forced myself to rent it to appease a friend of mine. Let’s just say I am not a big fan of cheerleaders. I have had many friends who were cheerleaders in high school and college and...

Pros: a cute teen movie with a believable ending, fun cheerleading scenes.
Cons: nothing really, but don't expect it to be too intense.

This is a story about high school cheerleading and how far they will sometimes go to win a competition. But the girls on this team are looking to make things right and even the score.

The movie begins with a cheerleading team about to pick a...

Pros: Great dancers, great dance choreographers. Funny, cute, and good-spirited.
Cons: Unnecessary emphasis on Kristen Dunst's character's romances. The plot is predictable.

Most men and women look upon a lively, dancing cheerleader and give the same judgment; however, only one gender is largely thankful after that judgment. It may or may not come as a surprise that I like cheerleaders. But not just in that way; I really...

Pros: Skimpy outfits, Dunst and Dushku.
Cons: Missed opportunities and a horrid script sink this baby quick.

They say that that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. After watching Bring It On!, I am pretty confident that I could bench press the White House. For a film with such promise (good material, hot chicks), it fails in almost every...

Pros: Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku and Jesse Bradford.
Cons: None

This film stars Kirsten Dunst (talented actress who shot to fame as the little girl in Interview With a Vampire, also starred in Dick, Virgin Suicides and Drop Dead Gorgeous) as Torrance Shipman. Eliza Dushku (The fabulous Faith from Buffy and Angel), as...

Pros: Amusing opening and ending sequences.
Cons: Everything else.

Is it just me, or has there been a recent fire sale on PG-13 "jiggle" movies?

You know what I mean -- those watered-down films that should, for all intents and purposes, be "R" rated, but the film studio wanted more...

Pros: Gimme a K! Gimme an I! Gimme an R!...You get the point.
Cons: It's about as deep as a puddle.

Bring It On is much better than most of the teen movies of the past 3 years. Of course, that's similar to saying that pneumonia is much better than the bubonic plague, but this silly cheerleader comedy is simply five times better than it should have...

Pros: Great cheerleading moves.
Cons: poorly put together

I decided to rent this movie because I was interested in the dance-type moves of the cheerleaders. I love dancing. And the previews suggested there would be a lot of it, and good that there would be a lot of great routines in the Cheerleading National...

Pros: You can't stop laughing. Kirsten Dunst is actually pretty good.
Cons: A little too long.

I have to admit that I didn't read every other epinion about this movie. There were just too many. I tried. I really tried. But even I can only laugh so hard for so long.

I just don't think we were all watching the same movie. With very...

Pros: Dunst is great, as usual, and there are some great laughs.
Cons: Seen it all before and a poor supporting cast.

You have to wonder about Kirsten Dunst - a first-division leading-lady-in-waiting who seems all-too-happy in consigning herself to the dustbin of teenybopper fare. While The Virgin Suicides may have signalled a career step forward, Dunst has...

Pros: Cheerleaders still wear short skirts. The sexual humor is lowbrow but kind of funny and the dialogue is so bad it's laughable.
Cons: Another idiotic film about teen life. Has no one in Hollywood seen "Heathers" or "The Breakfast Club"?

I will preface this opinion by saying that I did not pay to see this film. I work in a movie theater and watched "Bring It On" as a test screening. Now that I have my Red Badge of Courage I'm bringing this report to the masses. I'll be...

Pros: Kirsten Dunst is charismatic as always, Some neat cheer routines in the final competition, some genuine laughs -- but they're VERY few and far between...
Cons: Unlikable characters, Unlikable script, Unlikable film...

I guess I must be getting old. As I sat through Bring it On tonight I heard words, phrases and slang that I've never heard before. Perhaps it's cheer-speak. Perhaps calling something "bank" has caught on with the Abercrombie and Fitch...
