Bring It On (2000) is about high school cheerleading. Torrance becomes her team’s cheer captain, only to find out that all of their cheers were stolen from the East Compton cheer team. After hiring and getting swindled by a professional choreographer, Torrance and her team must write their own original cheer routine to perform at the national cheer championship.
Bring It On is a film that my high school peers talked about. When I finally watched it last week, I thought I might finally relate to it on some cosmic level, but I didn’t. Which like, duh. We’ve kind of been a streak with this time period and genre, but not every film is gonna blow me away. The girls in Bring It On are pretty mean to each other. I guess this is part of their competitive spirit, but I didn’t do sports in high school and I don’t relate.
This film does have something to say about race and class though. One of Torrance’s goals is to play fair, which means creating an even playing field with East Compton. After that happens, it’s kind of just a cheer competition. Not much happens for the story in the final act. It would have been cool if the East Compton team got as much screen time as the poster would suggest. It was far from 50/50.
