Bring It On (DVD, 2001, Collector's Edition)

Movie is excellent. Though it is not very high budgeted, it still is very entertaining. The cheer routines performed are awesome. I'm sure many cheer quads out there, absolutely love this movie. A great movie for the family to enjoy.

I love this movie, with all the spirit in the movie. I have the set now. I have several others, that borrows my movies. They enjoy the movie.

Paid for items proptly.. never received them.. no refund offered... it would seem PT Barnum was right... I know who got my minute. :(

I still have NOT received this item! What is the policy for getting my money refunded? The seller contacted me letting me know that her brother was very ill, but that she just got home and she was putting it in the mail immediately. I feel scammed!

it was well worth it. Fast shipping, good items. very pleased with purchase and speed of delivery. Would order again from this seller.

Taking cues from "Clueless" -- the best teen bubble gum flick of Generation Y -- it's a self-mocking popularity satire that takes frequent pot shots at "sweater monkeys" and their endlessly percolating pep, while also allowing its bright cast of pretty young things to color outside the lines of their stock characters.

The talented Kirsten Dunst embraces her inner ditz as Torrence Shipman, the new cheer captain of the Rancho Carne High School Toros, a boys-and-girls pep squad with a repertoire of flashy choreographed routines and a major reputation to maintain. For five years running they've won the ruthlessly competitive national cheerleading championships. (You know you've watched them on ESPN2, admit it.)

But as her tenure begins, Torrence makes a discovery that could ruin "my whole cheerleading career!" It seems her catty, conniving predecessor swiped every one of their incredibly dexterous half-time numbers from the East Compton Clovers, an inner city squad that ain't gonna take it lying down when a bunch of blonde San Diego suburbanites start pinching their moves.

In the end, of course, the two squads will face off at the national competition, and the closer "Bring It On" gets to that inevitable finale, the more it seems to fall back on the tiresome preparing-for-the-big-game-style plot template. But for most of the movie, the predictability is balanced by an anything-goes sense of humor and entertaining characters played by watchable stars.

In addition to Dunst, who brings a little dignity to what could have been an humiliating jiggle role, the movie mocks the "in crowd" mentality by looking at the cheerleaders through the amusingly cynical eyes of a grungy-but-beautiful brother and sister duo, just transferred from L.A. (which at this country club high school means they're, like, total freaks).

An intellectual (ooo! he reads!) Green Day wannabe with a hormone-racing smile, Cliff (Jesse Bradford) lowers himself to hanging around the pompom girls because he has a jones for Torrence. Missy (Eliza Dushka, Faith on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") on the other hand, is an acrobatic tough cookie in army pants and white-girl dreadlocks who tries out for the cheer squad because "your school has no gymnastics program and this is a last resort."

While these two character are no more original than the cheerleaders, the dumb jocks who say "dude!" and high-five each other every two minutes, or any of the movie's other stereotypes (desperate for a new routine, the girls hire a ruthless, queeny-biker choreographer), Cliff and Missy do provide "Bring It On" a sarcastic breath of fresh air, making it infinitely more tolerable.

Plus, the picture is peppered with incidental humor (like the fact that the Toro football team stinks) and genuinely entertaining character moments that 99 percent of teen-targeted movies are far to shallow to even attempt. The best scene in the whole movie is scene without a word of dialogue, in which Torrence sleeps over at Missy's and tries to flirt with Cliff while brushing her teeth when they end up in the bathroom at the same time. There's more spark, charisma and chemistry in that cute, simple 60 seconds than in a dozen Freddie Prinze, Jr. movies.

Of course "Bring It On" is utterly contrived and full of stock characters. But director Peyton Reed, an alumni of deviant sketch comedy shows like "Mr. Show" and "Upright Citizens Brigade," does his best to make the movie's clichés eat themselves. He also walks

This is in Great condition at a good price. It arrived fast and my teenage daughter & friends really enjoy it. I would buy from this seller again.

I gave the seller positive feedback, However, the iteam was defective and not useable. I purched the iteam for a gift and was desappointed that the dvd was not useable. I did not contact the seller about this iteam. The shipping cost would have been more then the iteam cost. Thank you

I love bring it on. There is just somethin adorable about the movie. Fun, energetic, cute, its just my type of thing. Classic movie, but obviously not the best movie of all time. But definitely one I love to watch every now and again. I am addicted to it and all it's sequels.

It's really cheesy during a lot of parts of the movie but I still love it, very entertaining! Kirsten Dunst is a great actress to keep your eyes on, as she's so gorgeous, is a great actor, and has great comedic scenes throughout.

Still a great movie to watch or reccomend to watch!Full of action!Cant wait to get bring it on abain and all or nothing!

I liked the transaction very much. It was nice and smooth, fast delivery, very excellent communication would order again

What more can be said??? My daughter ost this one and another on when our house flooded and she now an 8 year old cheearleasdrer herself.

Very good movie. I really like these kind of movies. I saw this movie a couple months ago and just had to add it to my dvd collection.

This movie is a classic in its own, though it has its cheesy moments, its such a quotable movie! With its blonde moments, and romantic plots, to its pumped up cheerleading routines, Bring it on does just that. This movie is a definite must see movie of our generation. I do want to warn, that it may seem like a highschool movie, but it is not. So if you are looking for another "Varsity Blues" or "She's the One", this movie is pretty much about a cheer squad and their struggles with solving a stolen dance routine issue in time for the big competition, hijinx and all. Loved it, makes you want to go to the gym.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE SEEN ALL THE BRING IT ON MOVIES. AND THIS ONE STILL I MY BEST ONE ... FUNNY AND REMINDS ME OF CHEERLEADING IN MY DAYS.. WOW, DONT ASK ME HOW LONG THATS BEEN.. HEE HEE.. ANYWAY I LOVE THIS MOVIE.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.. JEWELS

I've loved this film ever since middle school when it came out. I hadn't seen it in a long time until i purchased it here on ebay and this is a timeless teen flick. i still loved it. I love all the main characters and their personailites plus they show really cool cheerleading routines in it too, but not too much where it starts to bore. this is a movie i think my kids will watch when their teens

I bought it because I had seen the movie before and liked it, and wanted it as part of my collection. It reminds me of my high school days. I like watching the gymnastics that the cheerleaders are doing at the big contests.

I stand beside the fact that this was a very well made movie. The sequals are not as good as this one. Consider buying. Fresh Idea of Cheerleading proves a point that not all movies have to be about baseball or football.

5 out of 5

Thank you

This was a fun, entertaining movie - even had a few lessons to learn.

A discovery of performance-winning by a new captain gets these two opposing, competitive Team Leaders/captains [Kirsten Dunst & Gabrielle Union] - to fight for the same goal of an HONEST, HARD WORKING WIN.

I bought this DVD since my 4yr old daughter started getting involved in cheerleading. I remember this movie was very popular with my nieces back when it was released. I believe my daughter saw this movie about three times a day for two weeks! It was really cool to watch her singing and dancing like the girls in the movie. The only flaw that I find are some gestures and words they use, but I think it is OK to expose her to this type of things and show her what is right and what is wrong. To be honest I enjoy watching this movie too, even my husband got caught into it (Hmmm)

well im really dissapointed because i never received this purchase and you charge me the value, somebody stole my money

Good movie if you like cheerleading. I bought it for my daughters and one of them is usually watching this movie or Bring It On All Or Nothing.

Movie works great. I still enjoy it as if I just saw it for the first time. it came quick, and there were no skips. seller was nice to let me know when the movie was to arrive..............................
