Review of Bring It On (2000) by Kok Hoong F — 02 Sep 2012

I like high school chick flicks. Correction. Bitch flick, like MEAN GIRLS, SUGAR & SPICE etc. The bitch talk is such a turn-on for me. That is solely the reason why I borrow this title.
It is very entertaining. That kind of movies you will sit back and enjoy the bitch fight. Then of course for sports movies like this, there will a big showdown at some tournament. I can kind of expect things like it-is-more-than-just-a-game coming-of-age subplots, team spirit, integrity, dignity, honour blah blah blah you know the clichà (C)s .
The 'sports' chosen (cheerleading) does not prepare me for something more enlightening. You see the sports itself is not really taken seriously. Just cheer and act cute.
Wrong. This movie tells you it is more than that. In fact there are cases the cheerleading squad is more well-known than the team they are cheering for. There are very nice touches on the it-is-more-than-just-a-game coming of age, team spirit, integrity, dignity, honour blah blah blah you know the clichà (C)s .
I like movies like this. It looks dumb but in fact it has a big heart and maybe an equally big brain too. Just like I like smart pretty girls. What a major major turn-on!
