The Toro cheerleading squad from Rancho Carne High School in San Diego has got spirit, spunk, sass and a killer routine that's sure to land them the national championship trophy for the sixth year in a row. But for newly-elected team captain Torrance, the Toros' road to total cheer glory takes a shady turn when she discovers that their perfectly-choreographed routines were in fact stolen from the Clovers, a hip-hop squad from East Compton, by the Toros' former captain.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite the formulaic, fluffy storyline, this movie is surprisingly fun to watch, mostly due to its high energy and how it humorously spoofs cheerleading instead of taking itself too seriously.

...both the very beginning and the very end [of the film] really effectively build this kind of really funny, silly mood that I did very much enjoy revisiting...[The film] is just of its time. Go to Full Review

Smart, sassy movie, but expect raunchy humor, language. Go to Full Review
Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader Jul 25, 2007
This earnest and arch story -- so fast paced its formulas are wonderfully obscured -- has an adolescent energy and a tempered sexuality, and it's infused with the moral agenda of a warmly didactic sitcom. Go to Full Review
Aisha Harris Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 15, 2025
It really is ahead of its time. I still can't think of another teen movie that at least attempts to do the things that it does with cultural appropriation...they could have gone farther...But overall, Bring It On still bringing it 20 years later. Go to Full Review
Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Jan 22, 2025
Amid all its convincing choreography and tossing bodies 20 feet into the air, Bring It On rides the line between satire and teenage dramedy. That’s a disastrous liminal space if handled carelessly. Go to Full Review

4/5
With its rapid-fire jokes, knowing sense of the absurd and impressive dance routines, this tonally perfect romp will have you cheering - and chuckling - from start to finish. Go to Full Review

Charlie S @RT60494889 4 days ago What a time capsule Bring It On is. The cast gives it their all, even though the characters are almost two-dimensional. But in a way, that’s endearing, and it shows how the ’90s gave way to so many cultural touchstones that still fuel our nostalgia. See more
Peter W @RT12077588 Oct 24, 2026 Bring It On remains a highly enjoyable teen comedy that continues to hold up remarkably well. What could have been a simple film about cheerleading instead delivers an entertaining story about leadership, honesty, accountability and earning success the right way. Supported by strong performances from Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union and Eliza Dushku, alongside energetic competition sequences, memorable humour and a fantastic soundtrack, the film offers far more than its premise initially suggests. The rivalry between The Toros and The Clovers remains engaging, the themes remain relevant and the championship finale provides a genuinely satisfying payoff. Much like 10 Things I Hate About You and Can't Hardly Wait, Bring It On captures a certain era of teen cinema while still remaining entertaining for modern audiences. See more

Carlos T @RT67858720 Sep 2, 2026 🏆 VEREDITO *As Apimentadas* funciona melhor como **filme teen de sua época** do que como uma grande produção esportiva. Kirsten Dunst e Gabrielle Union ajudam a sustentar a história, enquanto as coreografias são responsáveis pelos melhores momentos. O roteiro, entretanto, é previsível e pouco profundo. É divertido, tem ritmo e possui aquele charme dos filmes adolescentes do começo dos anos 2000, mas está longe de ser uma obra que me faça colocar uma nota alta. **⭐ MINHA NOTA: 5/10** See more
Josh G @Parsifal83 Aug 1, 2026 More product than movie, Bring It On coasts on familiar clichés and shallow characters. It plays like a time capsule of late-'90s pop culture without capturing any of the wit or charm that made the era's best comedies endure. See more
