83The newest, and probably first, true cheerleading movie.
-
80The most exuberantly funny and smartest teen movie this summer, which is something to cheer about.
-
77Reed's manic direction rarely lets up between show-stopping cheer numbers.
-
75Clever, slightly edgy fun.
-
75An army of rolled abs and their owners give the state of American race relations a beginner's workout.
-
75Jokes, cheerleading and a love story...not a bad way to spend a lazy afternoon.
-
70Engaging, high-spirited tale.
-
70Unexpected late-summer treat.
-
70Smart and sassy high school movie that's fun for all ages.
-
70It is Ms. Dunst who carries the movie and unifies its disparate elements. She's a terrific comic actress.
-
67It's an okay brat movie.
-
63A likable, low-budget high school comedy.
-
63It could be worse.
-
60A spoofy paean to cheerfolk that has more bounce per flounce than most tales about teen queens.
-
50A strange mutant beast, half Nickelodeon movie, half R-rated comedy. It's like kids with potty-mouth playing grownup.
-
50The story is as simple as the average football cheer, but the dialogue has amusing echoes of "Clueless," and Dunst and Bradford make a mighty cute couple.
-
50Essentially a feature-length commercial for both the growing sport of competitive cheerleading and ESPN2 .
-
50She's (Dunst) the big reason the film rises above instantly rejectable formula to campy pop.
-
Doesn't break any ground -- but it looks good in a tight sweater.
-
50A moderately entertaining, mostly inoffensive piece of filmmaking.
-
50Predictable and surprisingly confusing in its ultimate message.
-
50Enough pep in this picture to make it rise above teen-movie expectations.
-
50Succeeds in dramatizing the resentment and guilt on all sides without just adding to the noise.
-
50Succeeds in displaying the physical drive and demands of cheerleading.
-
50Has an adolescent energy and a tempered sexuality.
-
40Starts strong, but then falters.
-
40She (Dunst) provides the only major element of Bring It On that plays as tweaking parody rather than slick, strident, body-slam churlishness.
-
Absurdly unrealistic at times.
-
25A movie of marginal ambition and multiple cute young faces.
-
25Jumbled and stupid plot, bad acting and a few predictable gags that fall flat.
-
It's not until the plot surfaces that Bring It On really begins to suffer.
