Bring It On Again [DVD]

Thank you

Fun movie, you don’t need to have seen the first Bring it On to understand this movie.

Love all bring on movies they take me back to that cozy vibes and chesty childhood spirit I’ve always had. 10/10 recommend.

It's hard to believe that any movie industry professionals were actually associated with straight-to-video production "Bring It On Again" (2004). Although a sequel, it is more like a really painful blend of "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Cadet Kelly".Despite the warnings I actually watched my soon to be re-gifted DVD. Anne Judson-Yager (who looks like Reese Witherspoon plus 30 pounds) plays new college freshman and aspiring cheerleader Whittier Smith. She and her friend Monica (Faune A. Chambers) pass the audition and come under the scrutiny of sadistic head cheerleader Tina Hammersmith (Bree Turner). They soon tire of life under Tina and form a rival cheerleading squad of fine arts students and campus radicals. Despite a host of available movie stereotypes the screenwriter can't seem to figure out how to portray this crowd and you actually feel embarrassed for the actors who must deal with these portions of her script. Production design, style, and unity are apparently unknown elements to director Damon Santostefano (unsuccessfully seeking work since making this movie) and the whole thing seems randomly thrown together. It must have been an assembly nightmare for the editor, who may or may not share some of the blame-it's hard to tell.I'm at somewhat of a loss as to the target demographic for "Bring It On Again". These things tend to be pitched to producers for their sexploitation potential. And in this case they could at least count on a pre-sold sexploitation audience of original "Bring It On" fans. But the only tie with the original is the subject of cheerleading and those looking for sexploitation elements will be disappointed.My guess is that the target audience is actually preteen girls. The script is certainly on that age and sophistication level. The male members of the cast appear to have been selected for their looks (certainly not their acting skills) while the female members are a dreary looking bunch (although their limited acting skills are well-matched with those of the male cast). When your leading lady looks like Judson-Yager and your only really pretty actress is cast as the cheer squad's towel girl; alarm bells should start sounding for those outside this target demographic. I bet the producers wish that they had heard those bells and monitored this project a little closer.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

Very good

From a straight passionate male, I have always loved cheerleaders for the right reasons.:) Back in my college days I had a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders calendar. Then the cheerleaders were older than me. Time passes, now the girls are much younger. Yet I love them still, as I do the whole franchise of Bring It On, the energy, passion, sassiness, creativity, problem solving...great qualities in many aspects of Life!

Silly show

My daughter's favorite bring it on

Filmed 4 years after the original, this 2004 direct-to-video movie features an all new cast. The opening ten minutes or so are almost a re-run of the original format as Whittier (Anne Judson-Yager) arrives at College hoping to join the national champion varsity cheerleading team –the Stingers, where she meets up with cheerleader friend Monica (Faune Chambers). After tryouts, the film kicks into Full Metal Jacket mode as Head cheerleader Tina (Bree Turner) puts the girls through their paces. Things don’t go to plan as Whittier loses her new boyfriend, quits the team and almost loses her best friend. Undeterred the pair decide to launch their own squad.Despite not having the big budget and all star cast of the original, this sequel does a grand job and gives the first film a good run for its money. The mild language is toned down slightly more but it’s still a 12 rating presumably due to the bitchiness which is over the top fun. The film does sag a little in the middle part but it still makes great family viewing and there are more humorous moments in this and it does give more a team spirit approach as a bunch of misfits takes on the established Varsity cheerleaders.This may not be as polished as the original but it still has plenty of good routines, fine music, and credible acting and for its entertainment value -which must be good as it seems to be over before your ready for it, is equally deserving of a **** rating despite the fact it has no extras.

Finally got around to watching this film, obviously didn't pay attention to the disc or the menu when I pressed play as I watched 'bring it on'. Wrong disc in my sealed box!

Excellent

IT is super fun GOOD MOVIE

The follow on to the original film. Good to watch but not necessarily a keeper. Still has some good ideas but lacks so inspiration.
