Smart, sassy movie, but expect raunchy humor, language.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

This earnest and arch story -- so fast paced its formulas are wonderfully obscured -- has an adolescent energy and a tempered sexuality, and it's infused with the moral agenda of a warmly didactic sitcom.

| Jul 25, 2007

Lightweight, but unexpectedly feelgood.

| Jun 24, 2006

A moderately entertaining, mostly inoffensive piece of filmmaking.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 10, 2003

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

Who would have thought that a film about competing cheerleading squads would turn out to be the one very pleasant surprise in this very dismal summer season of moviegoing?

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 19, 2002

Dunst can't really hold pic together.

Full Review | Feb 14, 2001

The problem with the film is that others have done its routine before, and have done it better.

Bring It On is no more than a trifle. But it moves along entertainingly right through to the end credit sequence, and its heart is in just the right place.

Smart and sassy

Bring It On is the most exuberantly funny and smartest teen movie this summer, which is something to cheer about.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Grooves without ever getting to the heart of how ridiculous parading with pom poms actually is.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

This is lightweight stuff, but the movie zooms along.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Imperfect it may be, but as Courtney and Whitney might say, it puts the cheer in cheerleader.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A pretty good movie aside from all the cheese.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Essentially a feature-length commercial for both the growing sport of competitive cheerleading and ESPN2.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The movie ends with a collection of outtakes, and even those aren't funny. Maybe that's because the whole film is sort of like an outtake.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

It almost makes a gal want to stand up and cheer. Nah.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Crackling good script, sharply directed.
