Bring It On (2000) scores a combined 3.25 out of 4 stars for Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)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)

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

"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.

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)

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)

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.

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 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.
