    The Worst Movie I've Seen This Year

    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.

    Nothing special but Not bad

    I hate to say it but there is nothing special about this movie .It doesn't even compare to the first movie which was good .the story line is pretty predictable.i can't say i didn't enjoy it.it does compare to the second and third movie of this series.i did expected more from this movie and i am not satisfied

    But the main problem of this movie is underdevelopment of certain characters like 'SKY' but the acting wasn't bad

    If you are in to cheer leading or want to see a cheerleader movie with good cheer leading action go for it and you will not be disappointed.This not a great movie but it is watchable And i give it a 4.5/10 rating

    Really?

    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.

    Too many Latino stereotypes but has good central themes

    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 :)

    the All Star Jaguars were the WOW team

    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.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie was filmed at locations around Malibu.
    • Goofs
      Catalina says she's Cuban-American, but she uses words or slang that are not Cuban at all. For example, she says "SOIS familia" which is, in Spanish, the second-person plural that is only used by people from Spain. Cubans would have said "SON familia" meaning "YOU are family." She also says "Orale," which is a common interjection in Mexican slang only.
    • Quotes

      Catalina 'Lina' Cruz: This is Sea Lion territory. Don't ever shake your conceited Jag butt over here again!

      Avery: Excuse me. Then who's supposed to show your school what a real squad looks like?

      Kayla: Not this mariachi band.

      Treyvonetta: [aggressively] You're so lucky I found Jesus.

      Gloria: [pulls the antagonists apart] Hey, hey, hey...!

      Treyvonetta: I didn't use my hands!

      Gloria: All right! But you can't *fight* girls like this. They press charges.

      Avery: Right. Run away.
