Edition bring it on

An intellectual ooo! Green Day wannabe with a hormone-racing smile, Cliff Jesse Bradford lowers himself to hanging around the pompom girls because he has a jones for Torrence. Missy Eliza Dushka, Faith on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on the other hand, is an acrobatic tough cookie in army pants and white-girl dreadlocks who tries out for the cheer squad because "your school has no gymnastics program and this is a last resort.

Plus, the picture is peppered with incidental humor like the fact that the Toro football team stinks and genuinely entertaining character moments that 99 percent of teen-targeted movies are far to shallow to even attempt. The best scene in the whole movie is scene without a word of dialogue, in which Torrence sleeps over at Missy's and tries to flirt with Cliff while brushing her teeth when they end up in the bathroom at the same time. There's more spark, charisma and chemistry in that cute, simple 60 seconds than in a dozen Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Of course "Bring It On" is utterly contrived and full of stock characters. But director Peyton Reed, an alumni of deviant sketch comedy shows like "Mr.

I have to admit, this movie just plain makes me laugh! I don't think she'll dissapoint you. I bought this DVD since my 4yr old daughter started getting involved in cheerleading. I remember this movie was very popular with my nieces back when it was released.

I believe my daughter saw this movie about three times a day for two weeks! It was really cool to watch her singing and dancing like the girls in the movie. The only flaw that I find are some gestures and words they use, but I think it is OK to expose her to this type of things and show her what is right and what is wrong.

To be honest I enjoy watching this movie too, even my husband got caught into it Hmmm. Ok so, when this came out I went everyday it was playing, the spinoffs are garbage, but the Original with Kirsten dunst is amazing.

There is some salty language but if youv ever been to high school, its accurate. Lol just remembered, a few days I saw it twice in the theater, one day I went 3 times.

Then rented it from Blockbuster til it was on sale as previously viewed, I bought it and still watch it. Just pop it in and watch. My opinion obviously. You will not be disappointed at all.

So there, that is my review!! Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. Glad I purchased. Skip to main content. About this product. Make an offer:. Auction: New Other. Read More. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, the Clovers expose the Toros' plagiarism by performing the same routine at their game. It has since become a cinematic symbol of cultural appropriation. They have built their entire reputation on the backs of someone else's hard work," Reed said.

After witnessing cultural appropriation in music as a journalist in the '90s, Bendinger said it inevitability became a vital plot point in her script. That's why Dunst's character is key. She comes to recognize her complicity in a rigged "cheer-ocracy.

If "Bring It On" came out in , Torrance would likely have received more scrutiny for her cluelessness.
