One of few movies that try to positively portray cheerleading

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2003)

When I first saw trailers of "Bring it On", I thought it would be the typical preppy/sex-oriented teen flick. But after I sat down and watched it on USA tv, I realized that the movie is a lot better than most people would expect.
I felt that this movie revealed the positive characteristics of cheerleading as a sport and the cheerleaders themselves, instead of portraying them as pretentious, upper-middle class snobs. While some of those traits are presented in variations throughout the film, the movie does not rely on them to establish purpose and meaning for the film. The supposedly gay male cheerleaders, the rebellious look of Missy and the kind, determination of Torrance reveal the dynamic and diverse aspects of true cheerleaders.
In all, this movie does a great job of depicting the true exertion of cheerleading without overdoing the preppy and sexual innuendoes of other mainstream teen flicks. It also makes you realize that cheerleading can be more than football jocks and popularity.
