It's got energy and a lively spirit,with Eye candy galore,i'll definitely give it that much.

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2009)

Bring it On was extremely fluffy and cheesy,yet it had a certain charm to it that made my time with Bring It On bearable. It's pure energy is able to overcome a lot of the film's problems. I enjoyed it to a certain extent,it's not something I would watch again any time soon,but for what it was,I had a fairly entertaining time. Kirsten Dunst is very cute no doubt,but i'm often quite picky on her as an actress,thankfully she's up to the task producing a likable lead,and one we can root for. My main problem with the film had to be Gabrielle Union's character. The film desperately tries to make her character sympathetic,yet they fail miserably and here's why. I can understand her annoyance,that the Toro's stole their moves,but it made East Compton look full of themselves by how Gabrielle was acting. I mean Torrance offered them a check to do the right thing and she rips it up? she could have at least handed it back and said "Thanks but no thanks" it was egotistical of her and ruined a lot of the movie for me,so their fore I didn't think East Compton deserved the acclaim they got.
The cheer leading scenes themselves are pretty lively. Eliza Dushku was particularly impressive with her double back flips,etc. Bring It on is a good time waster,it won't make your day brighter,but it won'r ruin it either,just a couple of things here and there could've made it a lot better then it was.
Performances. Kirsten Dunst is pretty good here. She plays a likable lead,full of p*ss and vinegar. Kirsten makes Torrance a likable hero and even though,I could honestly careless about cheer leading,she was able to make me care about what happened to the Toro's,even if she was a little wishy washy at times. Eliza Dushku is one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood,i'm just gonna say that right now loll. As far as her performance goes,she was my favorite character in the film. She's real,she has a good outlook on the world,and most importantly she's humble unlike a lot of her stickup counterparts. Jesse Bradford is charming in a goofy type way,I rather liked him. Gabrielle Union does what she can with her material,unfortunately the script fails her. She looks good,her moves are good,but they didn't give the character the justification she needed. I saw her as a villain,and completely full of herself,but that wasn't her fault,it was the script's. Clare Kramer&Nicole Bilderback play the dimwitted snobs to a T. Huntley Ritter plays his role well,he was rather amusing.
Bottom Line. Bring It on is decent fluffy type entertainment. I doubt i'll ever watch it again,but overall I had a decent time with it. Due to it's energy,it's enthusiasm and the likable cast,you can't help but have a soft spot for it. Worth the watch
