I went into this film thinking "American Pie With Choreography", boy was I wrong. Not taking away anything from "American Pie", which was a good movie for the audience it was made for, but after viewing it twice the gags get old, the plot gets stale, and Shannon Elizabeth is the only redeeming quality. "Bring It On", however, is a delightful film with humor, love, and true feeling. Kirsten Dunst is charmingly cute in the starring role with other young actors and actresses also giving good performances. Some of the humor is juvenille, but not enough to insult your intelligence or turn you away from the film. Not nearly as "dirty" or "wrong" as "American Pie", but a sweet film with good messages wrapped inside. Definitely worth checking out as a Saturday night flick. Bring it on!

This movie isn't dark and brooding like the recent films on the Dynamic Duo. This is a throwback to the way some of us would like to remember Batman & Robin, just as in the tv series. Made between the first and second season of the tv series, the movie was orignally scheduled to be done before the series started. However, ABC was in need of a ratings grabber, and ordered Batman up as a mid-season replacement series. The Batboat, Batcopter, and Batcycle were all created on the budget of this movie, however the Batcycle was completed early and used in several episodes of the first season. The Batcycle was also used numerous times in the rest of the series, however whenever the Batcopter or Batboat were used, it was simply stock footage from this film. Meredith, Gorshin, and Romero are wonderful as always in their portrayals of Penguin, Riddler, and Joker, however Meriwether isn't as good as Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt were in the role of the Catwoman, however. She does shine as Kitka, however. Overall, a great film for the family and fans of the tv series. Look for fitness guru Jack LaLanne on the rooftop in the opening moments of this adventure.

I must admit, I was not a fan of Selena or Jennifer Lopez before seeing this movie. After viewing this movie, however, I gained a large bit of respect for them both, especially Selena. This film is as entertaining as it is informative, however the end put me in a real downer. I realize that this is the true story, but I feel the murder could have been downplayed a bit, focusing more on the happiness she did have in her short life. Adding to my grief was real footage of her final concert shown after. Sadness aside, Olmos and Lopez's performances were simply wonderful, and made you really feel as if you had viewed Selena's life first hand. Wonderful movie, but brace yourself for a little depression afterwards.
