Fun!

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2000)

I've read a lot of the comments written by people who hated this movie, those who liked it and those who thought it was fabulous. If you hated it, that's your own opinion but I think you missed the point.
Upon leaving the theatre I was reminded of the movie Clueless. When I first saw it was rather ashamed at how much I had enjoyed that particular piece of fluff. However, almost everybody I have talked to who has seen it says its great. Fluff, yes but extremely witty, sarcastic and entertaining fluff. And that takes sophistication to pull off. Bring It On accomplishes the same feat. The teens speak a language similar to English but full of slang and strange vocabulary, much like the characters of Clueless. The plot wasn't overly deep but had some good messages about winning and loosing and the racial/economic issues were present but not, as someone already put it, "preachy".

All in all I think if you watch this movie expecting fluff and just give it a chance, you might actually catch on to the fact that it was very well written and performed. I went into the theatre after a terrible week, on the verge of tears and came out uplifted... that might just be me, but it is something to consider.
