"Three cheers for Bring It On."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

2/5
"Kirsten, you should not be in movies like this."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"Bendinger's script (her first) is often funny, trenchant, and politically savvy."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

3/4
"...the movie coasts along on a surprisingly clever script and sure-handed direction."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

3/4
"A bubbly, little comedic gem, and unexpectedly sharp-witted, to boot."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dustin Putman

A-
"Full of snarky (but not terribly mean-spirited) dialogue, the film is a triumph for first-time screenwriter Jessica Bendinger."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B
"There may not be any championships in store for this film, but it's definitely a winner."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

D-
"Frantic but deadly dull"  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

6/10
"The ending leads to an inevitable sense of dissatisfaction."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3/4
"For a teen comedy, Bring It On is surprisingly aware of class issues and doesn't mind putting them up front"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2/4
"The dancing is well choreographed, but the story would have better succeeded in choosing an angle or two and sticking with it."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

"This picture is all about sass and teen sensuality and not much else."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

5/10
"The film just didn't do much to me."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

5/10
"You'll see more navels in this PG-rated film than in a Florida orange grove."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"Sure – a lot of Bring It On doesn’t make sense... but the film is funny enough to make you not bother caring."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

1.5/4
"Triunfos Robados presenta diálogos absurdos y una alta dosis de sensiblería que fastidia desde la primera media hora de exhibición"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

3/5
"Even I got a little spirit while watching this."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

4.5
"I'm not saying Bring It On is art, but if you're looking for some bubbly, fun summer entertainment, and if the subject slightly interests you, you'll spend your dollar well."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

7/10
"Maintains a certain freshness due to the high-spirited cheerleading choreography, the novelty of presenting cheerleading as a coed competition sport and the appeal of its cast."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

9/10
"Showcases a trio of talented young actresses, captures the exuberant athleticism of competitive cheerleading and positively exudes good-hearted charisma."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/5
"Smart and sassy"  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

4/5
"A far-above-average teen comedy that's both wickedly funny and dead-on insightful."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

7/10
"The humor succeeds, in part, because the movie establishes the characters first and then works off of that."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B
"It's nice to see a well-crafted, thoughtful film that shows what kids are like at their best."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

"The conclusion may be fairly obvious, but it’s largely irrelevant in comparison to how uniquely Bring it On characterizes its teens."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

4/5
"Finally, a teen movie that I can like! (OK, I liked She's All That too.)"  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

"Jessica Bendinger's screenplay finds good-natured humor in a sport begging to be satirized, and the jokes are more intelligent than cheap."  Citysearch  Sean O'Connell

"Bring It On spins off one sly little joke after another, and the smart ensemble makes every one of them work."  Sight and Sound  Stephanie Zacharek

4/10
"A silly, slangy and ultimately conventional spoof, touring the girls' locker room with an unusual skirmish involving teeth-brushing."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Susan Granger
