a classic?

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 2001)

I think that over time, this movie may become a classic of a new genre of late 90s-early 2000 teenie-bopper cheese flicks.
It has all the right ingredients. It's basic plot is light and corny. The actors and actresses are all "pretty" people. The script is cheesy usually, but occasionally witty and satirical.
The thing about Bring it On, is that it does it all SO WELL. All the characters are exaggerated to fit their stereotypes. The movie never takes itself too seriously; it does try to inject drama and tension into the plot, but that tension actually has very little to do with cheerleading.
Overall, the movie actually draws you in. Most viewers probably find themselves like that one character (forget his name- brother(cliff??) of the brunette), who kept on rolling his eyes and muttering, "But it's only cheerleading!" But over time, he found himself clapping along and getting into it, whether he wanted to admit it or not.
So if you go to see this movie, LET yourself go. LET yourself be sucked in. LET yourself enjoy this movie. LET the cheese engulf you. BE the cheese.
