is the best movie evah.
I was expecting it to be awful, but it's just so fabulous in so many ways. And it makes me want to be a cheerleader.
The opening sequence is what truly makes the film for me. I can't think of many other films that define exactly what they're about with such precision within the first two minutes. And whoever wrote that cheer is a genius:
"I'm sexy, I'm cute, I'm popular to boot!"

I'm wanted, I'm hot, I'm everything you're not!
Plus, it has Eliza, a buff hottie and a improbable comversation about 'speaking fag'.
My favourite, favourite cheer has to be,
That's all right, that's OK, you're gonna pump our gas someday!

Nothing with Kirsten Dunst in it is awful. This is definitely no exception.
'In cheerleading, you have to throw people in the air. And fat people don't go as high.'

"We cheer, we lead, we act like we're on speed!"
Cinema genius.

"Do I look like a milkmaid? Because somebody feels like a cow!"
One thing that I didn't notice until I listened to the audio commentary was that they reinforce the gender stereotyping of cheerleading by giving both of the boys girl's names.

Spirit fingers were a big craze for a good 2 years of my life....
"THESE are not spirit fingers.....THESE are spirit fingers"!

I saw it last night, courtesty of the lovely Mr Pandarama, and am pleased to report that I think it's good too. And all the boys in it were really, really fit.

They should do a whole film about Big Red. She puts the whore in horrifying. I couldn't believe it when I witnessed sweet Valerie out of Sabrina playing such a polar opposite character.
I also want to have a playground in my garden like Cliff Pantone has.

This film ruined my A Level I.T lessons. All me and my mate would do it bat quotes at each other all lesson. And then degrading people by saying "Excuse me? Where did you park your harley" OhMyGod we though we were funny.

I'd watched the film about six times before I even realised it was her. I can just imagine her clapping her hands when she got the part and going "Yay! This time I get to be Libby!"

My God, I am 4 YEARS LATE, but I watched this last night and loved it. Truly amazing.
Re-reading this thread is sad though, especially "nothing with Kirsten Dunst in it is bad". How times change!!!
But lets face it, anything that combines Eliza Dushku, a soft-porn car wash, snappy chanting and a good old sing song at the end is bound to be ace. The credits reminded me of this.....

Whatever you do, don't now feel encouraged to watch any of the straight-to-DVD sequels. The second one is watchable but lacks any kind of flair whatsoever, and the third one, where Hayden Panettiere pretends to black to impress Solange Knowles and Rihanna...well, it puts the "whore" in "horrifying".

I'm not sure what I was thinking, because I'd definitely seen Get Over It by then. Maybe I'd succeeded in blanking it out. Bring It On is, of course, still amazing. As for the sequels - only seen All Or Nothing, but you haven't known true suffering until you've seen Solange Knowles 'acting'.

I've actually discovered that my flatmate has all FOUR of them on DVD. Your description makes me morbidly fascinated.

I know someone with all of them on DVD too. I'm so having a marathon at some point. I've decided.
I wish they just bit the bullet and called them all, like, 'Bring it on. Again. Some more. Again.'

Hayden Panettiere pretends to black to impress Solange Knowles and Rihanna I realise you've highlighted this as the key reason NOT to see it, but that sentence carries the promise of something truly amazing. I now want to see it SO BAD.
