Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006)

I absolutely love this movie. It's so good. I thinks it's my favorite because Hayden Panettiere is in it. And I love her.This movie is about cheerleading. As with every other Bring It On movie. In this movie, Hayden Paniettiere plays high school student, Britney Allen. She is also a cheerleader. The cheerleader, in fact. She is head cheerleader. But when her parents move her to another school, she loses all of that, very quickly. She promised her friends back home, that she would never cheer again. Which, in my opinion, is a very mean thing to ask of your friend. If she loves something, let her do it. But it was secretly a plan by Winnie, her not-really-friend and wannabe head cheerleader. Winnie, becomes the captain, which is not good. She is also sleeping with Britney's boyfriend. Low. Whilst at her new school, Britney joins the new squad. And her friends are furious when they find out. Mainly because she didn't tell them. Eventually, Britney and her new squad complete against Winnie and her old squad, for the chance to be in a Rihanna music video. Spoiler alert, Winnie loses, and Britney wins. And Britney and her old friends become friends with her new friends. If that sentence makes any sense to you.Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10.

I knew Hayden who played Brittany when she was on Guiding Light where she played Lizzie Spaulding. She's grown up and moved on but she'll always be Lizzie to me. In this performance, she takes a rich girl who is moved to the wrong side of the tracks known as Crenshaw Heights from Pacific Vista. She was head cheerleader and popular at her old school. In her new school, she's alone and ostracized for being the white girl. Anyway, she gets on the cheer-leading squad of her new school but tries to hide that information from her old friends. I have to say that Hayden and Marcy Rylan who played Winnie Harper in the film were worth watching. You see Marcy Rylan recently played Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light until it ended. Kind of ironic, anyway I felt the film was okay and had a story in it. My only problem is that there were no adults like parents or much about teachers in the film or a coach. Where is the adult supervision during activities?

Very entertaining film for a limited audience; that's it fans of the original "Bring It On" and those who enjoy light teenager flicks.Hayden Pannettiere is by far the most likable and sexy character and to be honest, she was the only reason for me to watch the movie. I watched the original "Bring It On" when it came out and I had a decent time watching it because it had a fairly entertaining plot, likable characters, and interesting cheer leading routines.This installment was by far superior on the dancing and routines. In fact, Rihanna makes a sexy and great cameo that adds some spice to this movie.Oh well, recommended only for fans of the original and young teenage girls.

When I heard that they were making more Bring it On movies, I snubbed the idea and swore I would never watch the sequels, especially since the first one wasn't that good. All I can say is that I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I really like the characters played by Solange and Hayden. While some of the characters were stereotypes, I believe it was to make them relatable to the primary audience of teens and preteens. Many have mentioned the racism in this movie. There are stereotypes in this movie as in many movies. However, I feel that the racism in this movie explores the social stereotypes and makes a brief end statement against them. There are some controversial elements for the audience to consider, and there is nothing wrong with that. This movie lets the viewer decide: is it tongue in cheek humor, is it blatant racism in the including a double standard, or is it making a statement against racism and stereotypes? It depends on how you as an individual views this movie. I know it's a formula, and it isn't a movie that will change lives, but I thought it was fun and a better mixed concoction than the original. The end message was also less hokey and more relevant than the original: it doesn't matter where you come from, you CAN accomplish goals and succeed.
