Sells us out

Rating: 3/10 (19 August 2001)

This review contains a semi-spoiler. You have been warned.
Disguised as a fast moving, interesting look at competition Cheerleading, Bring It On turns out only to be a build up to a big fat sell-out. Any viewer that pays attention to the direction society is heading, particularly in the entertainment genre can guess how this movie will turn out ten minutes into the picture.
I did stay tuned until the finale, hoping they wouldn't take the "safe" route, but unfortunately, the movie goes against all logic and takes the route that will not "offend". It does this at the expense of the picture.
What was semi-entertaining fare for about an hour and fifteen minutes, turns into just an ordinary Hollywood style guilt trip forced upon the audience. Please Hollywood, could someone there just make a damn movie and forget about teaching everyone a lesson? It's a tired, old cliche.
