The popularity of this movie is inexplicable

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2001)

When Bring it On came out I figured it was some dumb teen comedy full of bare teen flesh and bland humor, but then I heard all the critics loved it and I thought, well, maybe it's more. It's not. It's awful. It is inexplicable to me why people are raving about this movie. It's not funny at all. The story is lame and slapdash, dialogue is poorly written, and most importantly it's not remotely funny. Me and my friends watched in stunned amazement, occassionally laughing at the ineptitude of the film but otherwise just staring in puzzlement. The only respite was Ian Roberts riotously funny turn as a choreographer. For about five minutes the movie was just hysterical, and then it was back to dumb again. I am so confused: not only is this site full of rave comments, but most people felt motivated to write really, really long commentaries outlining the entire dull story.

The same day I saw this movie I saw a documentary on high school cheerleaders on MTV's True Life. It was far more interesting.
