Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Desertman84 It is the first direct-to-video sequel of Bring It On that tells the story of Whittier who arrives at a fictional state college in California with the hopes of joining the national champion varsity cheerleading team.Despite having no direct relationship from the first film,it provides another attempt to tell a story about cheerleading.Apparently,the it isn't as good as the first film.Also,the cast aren't well-known to the viewer as well.Added to that,the characters aren't as charming nor likable nor is the story interesting nor compelling to the viewer.The cheers presented aren't also as good as the first one despite the fact that the setting is in college instead of high school.Overall,it simply capitalizes on the popularity of the first film and the need for more movies about cheerleading.
Taylor Kingston I actually liked this movie quite a bit. It wasn't better than the first one, but sequels rarely are.In this movie, we're moving from high school to college. Where the stakes are even higher. Whittier has just started college. And she's been dreaming of getting on the cheerleading squad, The Stingers, along with her best friend Monica. But after getting on the team, they find out that the head captain, Tina, is a raging b**tch. So they eventually quite the squad. They then start their own squad, with all the people who were in clubs, that got shut down. Like the drama club and the ballet club. That money went to the cheerleading squad instead. So they were happy to help. Since only one cheerleading squad can represent the school, the Stingers go up against the Renegades to battle for the spot.Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10.
Blueghost In any industry you try to do things cheaper and faster for the consumer so you can compete with the guy across the street. Whether you're operating a laundromat, barber shop, pizza place, grocery store, or you're a major conglomerate with a movie studio as one of your holdings, you try to cut back on costs and boost your profits. It's competition the American way.So what on Earth does that have to do with a sequel to a movie about cheerleaders? Well, in movies it's no different. Only here that theorem backfired: Once you have a smash hit of a film, it's your job, as a producer, to capitalize off that film's success by seeing if you can duplicate that success with a leaner and more improved product. You cut the budget, higher a second rate screenwriter, cast B-list talent, skimp on the shooting schedule which means the director and DP don't have time to setup much needed shots, which also means there isn't enough money to higher all extra material and personnel that made your first film such a huge success. Result; a film that has all of the earmarks of the previous feature, but lacks meat and its own legs to stand on. There are exceptions to that rule, but they're rare.So it is with "Bring it on Again", a story about a cheerleader who arrives at some no-name state college, finds herself ostracized after being associated with the wrong crowd, and now has to fight (cheer?) her way back into the hearts and minds of her peers to ultimate cheer- leading triumph.It's a cheap sequel meant to capitalize off of Peyton Reed's very entertaining high school genre film of four years before, but the social schism being addressed is never fully explored, the plot is pretty outrageous and borders on the realms of science fiction, poor Anne Judson-Yager is in over her head without any real direction from 3rd string director Damon Santostefano, and overall the cast and crew aren't there to relive nor re-imagine the previous tale. No score, little to basic editing (essentially strewing together master shots), essentially no magic whatsoever save for the cheer-leading itself which seems okay (though I'm no expert in that area).Pass it up. Me, after donating my special edition "Bring It On" DVD to the library many years ago, I went ahead and blew some money on a three movie repackage deal that included the original film and two of its sequels, of which this film was one. Eh... it's ten bucks that could've gone into my gas tank. That's how I see it.Watch at your own risk.p.s. I wonder what Roger Coreman would've done with this script.
liberalblossom15 Whittier is both nervous and excited. She's just made it onto the BEST cheer leading squad (best in WHAT is never clarified). Unfortunately, the captain is rude and cruel to the other cheerleaders, so she and her best friend Monica decide to create their own squad and have a cheer off to see who will go to nationals. At the same time she is falling for the shaggy Derrick who could be perfect for her.From the beginning this film annoyed me. The lead girl is too naive and impressionable - after one talk with her "head cheerleader" she decides to cut down on her calories and ridicule her friends - even drop them for acceptance. (Don't most girls grow out of that by college?) When she finally stands up for herself, you'll wonder what took so long, and why she felt the need to strip to make her point.The acting is okay at best, especially from the lead, who is out shined by the girls playing her best friend and her adversary. The "comedy" is minimal, with the gag of Penelope getting hurt being very overdone. The ending was predictable and completely unrealistic as well.This film left me with a few questions: *What was with the constant costuming of Whittier in yellow? *Why did the guy playing the mascot beat box to the costume head before going out onstage? *Where did the new squad find the funding to get matching uniforms and how did they manage to unify their routine within two days? Overall: This is nothing more than mundane teen drivel. It's an unnecessary sequel trying to cash in on the success of it's predecessor. The acting is poor and the ending unrealistic and predictable. Skip this lame flick - you're not missing anything.
