Bring It on: Fight to the Finish

This movie is predictable but it's not a bad thing. I've loved this movie as a kid but wanted to write a critical review as an adult. Lots of the dialogue is corny but can't complain because it's cute. It's also funny.

First off, setting up the story is poorly done for this movie. The writers failed to set up the story by excluding important details eg: it's not explained how Lina's Mom and rich stepdad met since they come from different socioeconomic worlds. So how did they meet?

In general, the characters need more depth, but maybe there's an exception for a cheerleading movie. The character growth is underdeveloped but central themes of love, friendship, and family kept this movie together.

The acting is good, but the scenes didn't make sense eg: How did these teenagers have their party at a club? Yet sodas were on the tables lol. The characters were over the top with Latino stereotypes from East LA. But I LOVE the dancing, LOVE the music, and Christina Millan is hot when she appears on the screen. And I love Lina's friends!

My biggest complaint is that the movie has too many Latino stereotypes throughout. Overall, this movie deserved it's current 5/10 rating because the consistent stereotypes were offensive and uncomfortable to watch.

Anyway, I hope my review was helpful :)

I am sitting in pure amazement! This was the most inspiring, bright and delightful movie I have seen this decade! Wonderful! Outstanding! The acting was not at all sub-par... Victor was most definitely the best character, who developed and matured as the movie went on... and the cattiness had a purpose because everyone learned a very valuable lesson. Oh wait... NO, none of that is correct. I own this video now and when I watch it next I plan on fastforwarding through all the talking and watching only the dancing. PS anyone who thought Victor was HOT... try getting checked out at the Walmart Vision Center instead of the back of the 3rd rate neighborhood van you currently frequent; of course he is probably better than your present jailhouse penpal boytoy you tote as 'man of the year'.

Peace out!

Out of the five bring it on films that I have watched, I honestly have to say its the not the worst. That honour goes to bring it on again and. Worldwide showdown.it didn't have the charm like others but the choreography scenes were ok. I also enjoyed Holland Rodden's character of sky. In conclusion if they ever decide to milk the franchise further just stick with a mixture of different casts from the other films and it might make something good.

I'm not a big fan of these so-called genre movies. They are pretty predictable...girl tries to be popular, is rejected by popular kids, then becomes more popular by besting the popular kids that made fun of her in the first place.

However, this movie went beyond formulaic. It bordered on offensive to both my eyes and ears.

The acting was sub-par and not believable in any way. The stereotypes and the accents made me cringe...and at times, made me out-right laugh.

I've never been as bored when watching a dance sequence before. It was sloppy and made me want to sleep until they where over.

This movie should be buried in that hole where they buried all those Atari E.T. games.

A waste of time, effort of everyone involved and money. People should lose their jobs over this steaming stinker.

I have seen all of the movies. Though they were predictable and not my favorite, they were not as horrible as this movie.

The thing that bugged me the most, and bugged me in past movies too, was the cheering. They go to these competitions and break the rules. Some of the stunts they did were illegal and would not have made it in a real competition. You might be thinking, "How would you know?" I used to be a competition cheerleader and dancer. My coach made sure we knew the rules inside and out. If they did some of the stunts they did in this movie, they would have never won or made it that far. Safety is big in the cheerleading world and those rules are made for safety. Breaking them is a big no no.

Another thing is that the main team's dance at the end sucked. It was sloppy, uncreative, and just bad. I, and the other girl's I cheered with, agreed that the other team (with the "bad girl" character) did a much better job. It was insulting to see the main team do so badly and be treated as if they were awesome. In past Bring It On movies the final dance those teams did were so much better.

Finally, the acting. The whole cast wasn't horrible, but a few of the actresses over acted and seemed to be trying to hard.

So overall, unless you have time to waste, don't watch this movie. Watch the other Bring On Movies before you watch this. It is a waste of time and a waste of a movie.
