Bring It on: Fight to the Finish

After her widowed Latina mother "Isabel" (Laura Ceron) marries a wealthy man named "Henry" (David Starzyk), a high school cheerleader by the name of "Lena" (Christina Milian) is forced to move from East Los Angeles to Malibu. Although her new house is in an upscale part of the city, Lena is extremely upset about having to leave her high school friends and her cheerleading team where she served as the captain. Not only that, but once she gets to her new school she learns that a former cheerleader there named "Avery" (Rachele Brooke Smith) has left the current squad out of spite and taken most of the talented members to form a team outside of the high school known as the All Star Jaguars. Naturally, in desperate need of an experienced captain, the remaining Malibu Vista Sea Lions cheerleading team desperately begs her to lead their squad. Naturally, she accepts but soon realizes that she cannot revitalize this depleted team all on her own so when she learns that her old cheerleading squad has disbanded she eagerly recruits a couple of them to move in with her and help her out. Needless to say, this displeases Avery who has done everything she can to ruin this team. And she doesn't want anyone to get in her way. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I genuinely liked this film and thought it was actually better than any of its predecessors. Although the plot was certainly similar to the others, I liked the reverse-scenario of "Bring It On-All or Nothing" along with the chemistry between Lena and her two friends "Gloria" (Vanessa Born) and "Treyvonetta" (Gabrielle Dennis). They were hilarious. At any rate, while this movie certainly won't win any awards, I enjoyed it all the same and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

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!

So I rented this movie for fun...just to kill time. Never thought I'd find it pretty interesting. But maybe it's because I'm into dancing too, and cheer leading is...some sort of it...but it's a sport.

The movie starts out hot and stays that way throughout the whole movie. There are some slow parts, but it's because it's a chick flick. Expect there to be.

Dances are amazing, so are the cheer practices that they have every now and then. Acting I would have to say is pretty okay. I didn't know that Christina,a real beautiful woman, shows lot of culture in this movie. Her acting is actually okay. Holland Roden's acting was astonishing, from being a geeky nerdy cheer girl she transforms into a confident and comfortable lady. Nikki SooHoo is hilarious. I love her character and especially her voice in this movie.

We all gotta know that in the end this movie is just made for fun. I read the other reviews on here saying "It's an insult to Allstars". This movie is fictional. It would be boring if the rules weren't broken and it was just how you normally do cheer competitions. For the guy that said "I'm not a big fan of these so-called genre movies. They are pretty predictable...girl tries to be popular-" blah blah blah....why watch it in the first place? Go watch....300. >.>

Anyways, if you're into cheer leading go watch it for fun sense and not for reality sense of cheer leading. If you're curious about the film, give it a shot. It's a chick flick, I warn you right now. It'll make you smile. If you don't care about the acting and just a fun person. GO GO GO! Everyone's got an opinion about something. I got mine ;)

I give this movie a 9 out of 10 (For me...not for you :D)

Oh and Cody Longo is HOT! Haha that's my two cents. Peace!

Mirroring my review for BRING IT ON: ALL OR NOTHING years ago, I say that the "losing" team had much better moves. The Malibu Dream Team were more crotch-gyrating. The All Stars had a terrific lead dancer. Rachelle Brooke Smith was fantastic!

Okay, about the movie itself. The first bit, oh, cr... I was already thinking up a super-negative headline. Let me say one thing straight. Christina Milian as the lead girl, no way. Old enough to be a teacher. In the patio training scene with personal favorite Sky, there you see real youth, real delicate movements. The weak link in the whole thing is a performance that just alienated me from the get-go. It did get better. But the damage was done...

To the reviewers complaining about not understanding, well, if you're watching on DVD, switch to subtitles. One round of that, next time you won't need it. It is a pretty valid point if you're not watching on DVD, though. I would not have been able to catch what was said.

I ended up enjoying it immensely. And if The Raven compliments, well, take it as a feather in your cap.

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 :)
