UK Orders BIO 'Bring it On' is Fun Despite Inconsistencies. Yes, it involved pretty girls with pompoms decked-out in skimpy skirts, but Bring it On still looked terrible when I first caught a glimpse of the trailer. This I was planning to skip, despite the lovely and talented Kirsten Dunst in the lead. Some of you, I imagine, were not aware a cheerleading sequence could be well-choreographed, but debut director Peyton Reed contributes a zestful energy that only builds toward the climactic championship battle. Despite a few inevitable pratfalls, this is fun stuff.
Cheerleaders are an interesting bunch.
They have been known to inspire both home team victories and raging hormones among adolescent males. They are also prone to immediate stereotypes, a fate which Bring it On simply can t evade. But the film does encompass this universal fact and, sometimes, adds a satirical twist. Yes, nothing is terribly consistent, but entertainment value prevails. Dunst is Torrance Shipman, a relatively nice-girl cheerleader from San Diego Rancho Carne high school.
