- Synopsis:
The Toro cheerleader squad from Rancho Carne High School in San Diego has got spirit, spunk, sass and a killer routine that's sure to land them the national championship trophy for the sixth year in a row. But for newly-elected team captain Torrance, the Toros' road to total cheer glory takes a shady turn when she discovers that their perfectly choreographed routines were in fact stolen from the Clovers, a hip-hop squad from East Compton, by the Toros' former captain. While the Toros scramble to come up with a new routine, the Clovers, led by squad captain Isis (Gabrielle Union) have their own problems coming up with enough money to cover their travel expenses to the championships. With time running out and the pressure mounting, both captains drive their squads to the point of exhaustion: Torrance, hell bent on saving the Toros' reputation, and Isis more determined than ever to see that the Clovers finally get the recognition they deserve. But only one team can bring home the title, so may the best moves win... - Actors:

Gimme a B(-minus) - Bring It On review by griggs
Look, this is nonsense, and it knows it. It's a late-'90s teen movie that turned up in 2000 still dressed for 1999, all spirit fingers, bubblegum pop and a firm belief that high school ends at nationals.
Kirsten Dunst is the main reason it works at all. She plays Torrance with a frantic, slightly sweaty sincerity, and I bought every panicked smile. Gabrielle Union gives Isis real presence, though the script forgets to give her an inner life, which is a shame, because she's the most interesting person on the mat. Eliza Dushku adds a welcome shot of deadpan, even if she's mostly there to roll her eyes.
Peyton Reed shoots the routines like music videos, cutting on every beat. The bits in between look lit for a school prospectus, as if the camera is killing time until the next pyramid.
The trouble is how little lingers. I was humming the chants by bedtime and had forgotten the feelings by breakfast.
