Bring it On -- All or Nothing
This is not a reprise of President Bush's war cry, ”Bring it on".
This is a spankin' new cheer leader story, well, maybe more of a follow-up story.
But hey, it worked once so why change a whole lot?
It may even be the start of a Bring it On franchise.
This is a summertime girl movie.
You won't get any TechBridge science math stuff here.
Only MTV cheer leading, One mean girl, one oaf of a boy friend,
one white girl in a black school, one tough black cheerleader,
one tan boyfriend-to-be and lots of black/white racial digs.
Britney, a white cheerleader captain has to move abruptly to a new déclassé neighborhood
and to an almost all black school.
How she makes the cut for the new cheering squad is the story.
Some interesting new street hip-hop moves add a fresh look to the old routines.
If you want to try krumping yourself you will find a section on the disk
that will show you the routines in easy-to-follow steps.
Lots of young talent here -- which you probably will recognize depending
on how many TV shows you watch.
The stars, Hayden Panettiere and Solange Knowles-Smith -- a double for a
younger Britney Spears, and whose name in the movie is yes, Britney, carry their parts well.
There is a good soundtrack and an appearance by Rihanna.
Looks to me like cheerleading is great exercise.
