'Round of Applause for ELISA DUSHKU!!!

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2001)

BRING IT ON ROCKS!!
OK, it starts off with Torrance (Dunst) having a nightmare with a more than hilarious cheer routine if u listen carefully to the lyrics. then torrance eventually becomes the new captain of the cheerleading team and the pressure is on. She has to get the team into the national finals and win or else the teams 5 time winning streak will be broken. Things get worse when one of the cheerleaders gets badly injured and must be replaced. Fortunately, for everyone, that's when Eliza Dushku comes in. She brings every scene she's in alive. Back to the movie, Missy (Dushku) sees the team's cheer routines and shows Torrance that these routines are the same as another group that has had same cheers for years and that Torrance's squad has been copying the cheers for the last 5 years.
And that's the plot. Now with the acting, Kirsten Dunst does a pretty good job as Torrance, and Gabrielle Union, the captain of the rival team, also does a really good job. But the best part about the film... ELIZA DUSHKU!! I didn't think she would be able to pull being a cheer leader off after seeing her as Faith on "Buffy..." but she does with flying colors. I can't wait to see her in the upcoming "Soul Survivors."
Overall, this movie is an excellent surprise and is definitely worth a look.
