It’s time for a new captain to be appointed to lead the
5-time national champions, Rancho Carne’s “Toros” Cheerleading Squad. The
burden of being captain is put upon the shoulders of Torrance who, after only 2
days of being leader, discovers that all her squad’s routines have been stolen
from a poor and down-trodden neighbouring squad, the Clovers. As the Clovers
move closer to getting to the finals for the first time, it becomes apparent
that the Toros are going to need an entirely new, original, and fresh routine
to prove themselves. The worst part is that they only have three weeks to get
one.
Well it was so lovingly pointed out to me today by a good friend that I
was not technically a girl if I had gone on this long without having seen Bring It On, so over a nice bout of vegging
out with said friend tonight, we have successful remedied that minor flaw. I am
now officially a girl! Heh, but enough about me, let’s talk about the movie…

When
it comes down to it, Bring It On is
the ultimate cheerleading movie. It’s surprisingly stylish and sassy, filled
with more than just your basic drive to win attitude and skimpy cheerleading
outfits. I particularly liked the writing of it as it takes on the appearance of
being a teen movie, but then sort of counteracts and matures that by adding
elements of “politics”, inner conflicts, unlikely friendships, and equality. At
the end of the day, this movie isn’t actually as shallow as it initially
appears to be. And that’s mainly what made me smile about it.
Kirsten Dunst
stars as Torrance and it has to be said that she played the part very well. She
was cute and bubbly and annoying, but then surprisingly forceful and emotional
when the time called for it. Congrats to her.
Starring Eliza Dushku, Jesse
Bradford, Gabrielle Union, Clare Kramer, Nicole Bilderback, and Lindsay Sloane,
Bring It On was a sassy and fun movie
that holds a fair few surprises. Filled with impressive choreography, drama,
romance, and comedy, I quite enjoyed it and can readily understand why it gets
the great rave that it does. It’s actually a good movie.
