Gimme a G, R, E, A, T!

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2000)

Bring it On is just a good "end-of-summer" movie. The plot? Well, when the captain of the cheerleaders, Torrance (played by Kirsten Dunst), from Rancho Carne High School, the Toros, discovers that the previous captain had stolen the cheers from the East Compton cheerleaders, the Clovers, they have to find a new cheer in order to enter the Nationals. While the Toros and trying to find new cheers, the Clovers have to come up with enough money to cover travel expenses. The movie has it's funny points, but what really keeps it going are the greatly choreographed cheers. The very beginning of the movie opens with a humorous dream sequence (such a line is "I'm sexy, I'm cute. I'm popular to boot. I'm bitchin'. Great hair. The boys all like to stare. I jump! You can look but don't you hump. I'm major. I roar. I swear I'm not a whore. We cheer as we lead. We act like we're on speed. Hate us 'cause we're beautiful--but we don't like you either. We're cheerleaders! We are cheerleaders!").
