San Francisco Chronicle (Peter Stack)
Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)
Teen movies are abundant and popular. Some suck and others manage to surprise. Bring It On definitely surprised me. It features some good characters that you care about and flared up some originality along the way. The plot itself is obvious but it is ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
A movie about a cheerleading competition I blocked my high school years out of my memory (and I don't want them back) but I vaguely recall never, ever giving a s**t about what the school colors were. Why should I, or anyone, care about anything in this ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Dark Horizons (Garth Franklin)
"She's All That", "Boys & Girls", "Idle Hands" - In this post-Scream era, most of the recent efforts in the teen movie genre read like a who's who of horrid movies. Only on rare occasions has someone gotten it right with superb films like "Cruel ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Dark Horizons (Garth Franklin)
Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)
The love story is trite and, thanks to the PG-13 rating, sexless. The cheerleaders' predicament story strains greatly to be of importance. And the comedy, including everything from the silly tryout scenes to the leather-clad choreographer acting as a ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)

REVIEW: "Bring It On"
Moovees.com (Jay Tierney)
Given that the topic of cheerleading can only be taken so far as the centerpiece of a movie, my expectations for Bring It On weren't exactly through the roof. However, while the sport may not have the potential to develop suspense or tension like ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Moovees.com (Jay Tierney)

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Bring It On is the sort of mindless fluff I would expect on the Disney channel to pass for "quality entertainment", but I doubt they would let the multitudinous cheesecake shots and phallic symbolism which permeate nearly every scene play on reg ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

Reviews on the Side (Steven Lekowicz)
The only reason I'm bothering to mention this movie at all, considering how old it is in movie years, is because, God dammit, I liked it. Dress me in a Sno-Cone outfit, straddle me on a goose, and send me ridin', I had a lot of fun watching this nonsense. ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Reviews on the Side (Steven Lekowicz)

Ultimate Movies! Review
Is cheerleading a sport? Sure, these gals and guys have to look good and they have to practice. But are they athletes, really? Bring It On, a wildly entertaining new movie starring Virgin Suicides' Kirsten Dunst, makes the first strong case in the ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Ultimate Movies! Review

Q Network Film Desk (James Kendrick)
Bring It On is a funny, semi-satirical teen comedy about competing squads of high school cheerleaders. Because the central focus is cheerleading, a uniquely American activity that has had its share of derisive barbs thrown at it over the years, the ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Q Network Film Desk (James Kendrick)

Teen movies became somewhat bothersome in the past two years, we've had so many with "10 Things I Hate About You", "Never Been Kissed", and "She's All That" just to name a few, plus three flops that came out this year. The bad thing about these films is ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at Brandon Herring

Whenever I see a bad movie, the worst part is the moment that I realize just how bad it is. It's what I dread most as a critic, since it makes my heart sink to know that the film will mercilessly continue. For Bring It On, that moment came within the ...read the complete Bring It On movie review at FilmHead.com

The phrase "cute as a button" is tailor-made for this film. Belly buttons, I mean. There was a time well into the 1960s when women couldn't even show their belly buttons on screen.

Austin Chronicle (Kimberley Jones)
Catfights, navel-baring, a Top 40 soundtrack, sugarcoated sentiments: Bring It On brings them all in spades.

John Beachem
I seem to be one of those strange people who can't understand this Kirsten Dunst craze. I'm sorry, but in my opinion, the girls simply cannot act.
