An unexpected box-office hit in the late summer of 2000, Bring It On is a smart, snappy teen comedy that bristles with good cheer (literally) and lively, down-to-earth characters. The story may be fairly predictable (who's going to win the big championship?), but director Peyton Reed and screenwriter Jessica Bendinger have fleshed out their characters with formidable strength and provided them with sharp dialogue. Dunst is a radiant comedian, projecting warmth, determination, sincerity, and a sublime airheadedness, and Union is an impressive dancer and counterpart to Dunst, matching her admirably despite her limited onscreen time. An excellent young supporting cast rounds out the film, most notably Eliza Dushku (Faith of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Jesse Bradford (Steven Soderbergh's King of the Hill) as siblings new to Rancho Carne, who become Torrance's best friend and potential new boyfriend, respectively. All in all, a pleasantly surprising and intelligent teen movie. Don't miss the opening sequence, a hilarious send-up of all those high school cheerleading routines you had to sit through at boring pep rallies. --Mark Englehart

After reading your review of "Bring It On," I rushed right out to my local NetFlix branch to rent this film. You can imagine my surprise when instead of a lush parade of leggy cheerleaders, I found myself watching a film about the hardships of life on a 1920s Georgia chain gang. While there was an abundance of nudity and while the story of the doomed love between Warden Mitchell and Clubfoot Jim was quite moving, overall the film was just not my cup of tea.
I haven't been so disappointed by your advice since your callous review of Adrian Lyne's heartbreaking large-print adaptation of Nabokov's "Joelita."
