The Sharks are in for some tough competition, however, when a snooty New York team called the East High Jets sets its sites on the coveted Spirit Stick as well, led by their captain, Brooke. Tempers flare as competition between the two teams grows fiercer, eventually leading to an over-the-top one-on-one cheer-off that ends in a full-on confrontation. Now these two rival teams have to overcome their differences so that they both don't lose their shot at achieving their dreams. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
a joke with bizarre moments of spontaneous coordinated choreography for oh-so-clever references to West Side Story. It's too bad no one died at the end
Kam Williams, EURWeb
A pathetic rip-off which bears virtually no resemblance to the original.
Heather Boerner, Common Sense Media
Cheerleading retread has too many stereotypes.
David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
It's another in-name-only follow-up that's as irritating and vacuous as its title.
Kam Williams, NewsBlaze
How long will African-American females continue to be portrayed by Hollywood in such an offensive, demeaning, bizarre and degenerate fashion?

It was ok, but nothing will ever beat the original.

This may not be a horrible or terrible film, but it falls into the trap you would have expected the first 2 sequels to fall into. Perhaps they just weakened the ice. It reduces itself to predictable teen humour and there isn't a single charming or sweet character. In It to Win It… More
This may not be a horrible or terrible film, but it falls into the trap you would have expected the first 2 sequels to fall into. Perhaps they just weakened the ice. It reduces itself to predictable teen humour and there isn't a single charming or sweet character. In It to Win It is obviously a cheap affair with Universal deciding to film the entire thing at their own amusement park. It's all been seen before, it isn't funny and it just isn't cheesy enough.

Well, i just can't imagine why they can't stop making a sequel for this movie... I think the first one was good but they frustrating it with more and more sequel... But for this fourth movie, I think it was good... The move of cheers was good, the story not bad at all...… More
Well, i just can't imagine why they can't stop making a sequel for this movie... I think the first one was good but they frustrating it with more and more sequel... But for this fourth movie, I think it was good... The move of cheers was good, the story not bad at all... I'm impressed with the main character can think moves while look at the roller coaster... But I'm more impressed how they make the story... The cast wasn't bad at all... At least Ashley Benson not lose pretty to Hayden Panettiere...

Apparently, the fourth movie in the "Bring It On" series. This is actually a cheerleader style "remake" of West Side Story, complete with Jets vs. Sharks, which by extension makes it the first ever Shakespearean remake starring cheerleaders. You've got every possible stereotype present: goth girl, black girl, blond girl, gay guy, bitch girl. In addition to stereotyping, BIO4 is an assault on your intelligence as well; every "plot twist" can be seen coming a mile away. My friends were "amazed" by my ability to predict everything happening ('Are you SURE you haven't seen this movie before?') That all being said, I have to give this two stars, due to venturing ever so deeply and faithfully into So Bad It's Good territory. Seriously, the "Shets" wins the award for Best Ever Name of a Cheerleading Team that Simultaneously Sounds Like a Bowel Movement. The Cheer Rumble, Truth Off, Cheer Off, this stuff is so horrible it is beyond hilarious. I kept pushing to watch more, until I finally had to ask "Ok, when can we leave?" The answer: not until after the butt smack scene. Uhm, yeah, two stars for horribly good fun.

Don't bother with this trash...

Bring It On is one of my favourite movies of all time. It was where I met my beloved Eliza. Other than the hilarious 'When Cheer Moves Go Bad' moments (especially when the goth crashed into the maid's trolley), Bring It On: 4EVA, or whatever it's called, was pretty bad and probably shouldn't have been made. When are they going to get it? They'll never match the smash-hit-ness that was the original.
