Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2000)

yes this movie was fun and entertaining and well choreographed and pleasing to the eye and a whole slew of other compliments...I agree with everyone else on this point and suggest that if you want to see a real feel good movie and want to walk out of the theatre ready to rule the world..go see BRING IT ON.
however, on another level, this film is not all it is cracked up to be. It is fun, but that's about it. The dialogue was lacking in sincerety and the "witty repertoire" lacked the luster that Cat Strafford (Julia Styles) gave in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. Even though Kristen Dunst and her mob of teen cheerleaders tried to spew out over-intellegent jibes, they were corny and often out of place. It was as if they were trying to overemphasize the witty dialogues that made CLUELESS and 10 THINGS...popular. The one line that bugged me the most was..." are you trying to tell me you speak fluent in fag." This is not only STUPID, but who in their right mind would say something like this to a friend especially when that person is having a hard time coping with their sexuality...not very realistic.
If the characters said less and performed more, this would have been a better movie. The characters were real, they had feelings and emotions that reprsented well what we all felt in High School. Everyone gave great performances. I loved it...but seriously, nobody talks like that in high school unless they want to get beaten.
