[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Bring It On & Bring It On : All Or Nothing

[ultra_fic]

 

As far as I know Bring It On is a cult classic. Being a Buffy fan, the main reason for me to watch was the connection via not just Eliza Dushku but also Clare Kramer and Nicole Bilderback. I wasn't sure how much I would really enjoy a movie about cheerleading, but this was and is a fantastic movie!

Girls with attitude from two opposing High Schools battling it out in a fierce competition of cheerleading which is more of a sport and a skill than people give it credit for.

In comparison, a lot of the sequels were really bad, full of unknown actors, copied plots, and bad jokes. The exception to the rule for me was the 3rd Bring It On movie, subtitled All or Nothing. This movie starred Hayden Panietierre as the rich white girl transferred away from her friends and cheer squad to a multi-racial school on the poor side of town where she doesn't exactly make efforts to fit in... at least at first.

I love to watch the routines in these movies, and kinda wish I had that ability - sooooo not possible! lol The banter is bitchy but fun and I love it, plus there's a romance element in both that I dig - hot boys are hot ;)

"...and kinda wish I had that ability - sooooo not possible! lol" - I so relate to that! ^^ (Un)fortunately there is no cheerleading tradition in my country, so I never really had to deal with my lack of talent in the area haha

We don't really have cheerleading here in England either. I mean, there are some squads, I think, but its not a big deal like in the US and most schools don't have them, my High School never did. I have no real skills in that way. I have rhythm enough for dancing, but flips and leaps and fancy moves - I just don't give me a body capable of that! lol
