Critics Consensus

Despite the formulaic, fluffy storyline, this movie is surprisingly fun to watch, mostly due to its high energy and how it humorously spoofs cheerleading instead of taking itself too seriously.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Smart, sassy movie, but expect raunchy humor, language. Rated: 3/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader This earnest and arch story -- so fast paced its formulas are wonderfully obscured -- has an adolescent energy and a tempered sexuality, and it's infused with the moral agenda of a warmly didactic sitcom. Jul 25, 2007 Full Review Time Out Lightweight, but unexpectedly feelgood. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Amid all its convincing choreography and tossing bodies 20 feet into the air, Bring It On rides the line between satire and teenage dramedy. That’s a disastrous liminal space if handled carelessly. Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Josh Winning Radio Times With its rapid-fire jokes, knowing sense of the absurd and impressive dance routines, this tonally perfect romp will have you cheering - and chuckling - from start to finish. Rated: 4/5 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Much like “Mean Girls,” Peyton Reed sneaks in very subversive themes in to what is a well written and fun sports comedy.

sarah p Great light hearted movie. Typical teenage cheerleader scenario with a few comedic twists. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review alan g Good overall movie. Kirsten Dunst is appealing. No one would believe the Hispanic cheerleader is threatening. One slap and she would run home. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Margaret C they explained how they got their routine and yet 10 minutes later I had to ask how they got their routine Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Bring It On Is Cheer Tastic For Torrance & Missy!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Shavon D Bringing in the new millennium, it sets the tone for teen cinema of the 2000s. It's quirky and corny dialogue either sparks nostalgia or shock. I did find myself checking the time to see when it was going to end. The nostalgia alone isn't enough to hold your attention. It's a light chessy high school storyline with some laughable moments. The choreography of the competition saves it though. Did it age well? Not so much. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Brooke B This movie shows what it was really like in the 2000s to go to college. The actor choices are perfect. It's an important as mean girls for the time. Early Kristen Dunst? Um hello. It's so great in terms of music casting and plot. I've seen this movie hundreds of times. I absolutely love it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis The Toro cheerleading 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 Toro's former captain.
