Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
In a contest to lead her school to victory in the national cheerleading championships for the sixth year in a row, Torrance Shipman (Kirsten Dunst), team captain of the San Diego Toros at Rancho Carne High School, must show her team how to beat out its rival squad, the Clovers. Clovers' captain Isis (Gabrielle Union) is struggling to raise enough money to make it to the competition, while Torrance is facing up to finding out that her team's cheers are not original. A comic face-off between die-hard cheerleaders, BRING IT ON has teen spunk, team spirit, and lots of girl power.

Notes:
Theatrical release: August 25, 2000. Three of the Clovers are portrayed by the singing group Blaque, who also contribute the song "As If" to the soundtrack of the movie. The credits feature the actors miming to B*witched's cover of "Mickey," in tribute to the popular cheerleader video that accompanied the original Toni Basil version in 1982. BRING IT ON was named the best film of 2000 by Ed Halter of the New York Press.
