Claire Kramer, Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union

Torrance Shipman is a typical all-American high school girl. Since being been named captain of her school's championship-winning cheerleading squad, the San Diego Toros, she's on top of the world. She...( read more  read more... )'s determined that nothing-not even her homework, her nagging parents or her perfect college boyfriend-get in the way of leading her squad to its sixth consecutive national title. But the Toro's have some stiff competition this time out from the Clovers, an inner-city, hip-hop squad from Los Angeles. When Torrance learns that her predecessor has been stealing cheer routines for years from the rival squad, she realizes that the Clovers and their captain Isis are looking to even the score and that the Toro's are in big trouble. Things get even worse when Torrance finds herself falling for Cliff, an outsider from school with whom she normally would never associate, and with the national championships only a few weeks away, the pressure is on.

    Typical cheerleader movie.
  • May 11, 2009
    The first and only of the cheerleader / dance movies worth my time to watch. Kirsten and Eliza actually give a bit of cred to the acting and Jesse Bradford is gorgeous.

    Mmm. Warm, blissful dumbness.

    five years ago I would have given it 5stars, its a nice comedy and all it just doesn't age well with its audience as they mature. The writing and direction is just as smart and sharp as you can expect any teen comedy to be, but by no means is it perfect.

Stephanie Zacharek, Sight and Sound

Bring It On spins off one sly little joke after another, and the smart ensemble makes every one of them work. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

The fact that a bouncy teenage sports comedy can even gesture toward serious matters of race and economic inequality is pretty impressive, as is the occasional snarl of genuine satire. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

We get a strange mutant beast, half Nickelodeon movie, half R-rated comedy. It's like kids with potty-mouth playing grownup. full review

David Edelstein, Slate

A pretty good movie aside from all the cheese. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

It's another one of those high school pics that don't really have much bearing on the real world. But as fluffy adolescent fantasy, it's better than most.

    Does anyone know what the background song played half way through CLovers song called 'Br its cold in here is'

    its when they first realise that all there routines have actually been copied from the clovers.

    Cheers!
