"
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
2.5/4
"Bring it On has its heart in the right place but its brain in the wrong one."
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
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."
