This sequel isn't anywhere as good as the original "Bring It On." I only watched it because I'm a big gymnastics fan and I wanted to see what the acrobatics would be like. I enjoyed Whittier's audition and the cheering routines, but that was about it... Many things were blatantly ripped off from the original movie, including having a showdown between champions and underdogs. What bothered me most, though, was the total implausibility of the underdog squad's being able to learn difficult tumbling and cheerleading moves. I know that movies require a suspension of disbelief, but this was ridiculous! As a teen I tried to learn basic gymnastics skills, but despite having a gymnast's physique, I couldn't even master a back handspring. So the idea that a bunch of misfits with no prior training could become good enough to challenge experienced cheerleaders was not only absurd but insulting to real athletes! Cheerleading, like gymnastics, requires both innate talent and LOTS of hard work; you can't become great in two days! I advise skipping this movie and watching the original (or the gymnastics film "Stick It" by the same writer as "Bring It On").

Whittier is both nervous and excited. She's just made it onto the BEST cheer leading squad (best in WHAT is never clarified). Unfortunately, the captain is rude and cruel to the other cheerleaders, so she and her best friend Monica decide to create their own squad and have a cheer off to see who will go to nationals. At the same time she is falling for the shaggy Derrick who could be perfect for her.From the beginning this film annoyed me. The lead girl is too naive and impressionable - after one talk with her "head cheerleader" she decides to cut down on her calories and ridicule her friends - even drop them for acceptance. (Don't most girls grow out of that by college?) When she finally stands up for herself, you'll wonder what took so long, and why she felt the need to strip to make her point.The acting is okay at best, especially from the lead, who is out shined by the girls playing her best friend and her adversary. The "comedy" is minimal, with the gag of Penelope getting hurt being very overdone. The ending was predictable and completely unrealistic as well.This film left me with a few questions: *What was with the constant costuming of Whittier in yellow? *Why did the guy playing the mascot beat box to the costume head before going out onstage? *Where did the new squad find the funding to get matching uniforms and how did they manage to unify their routine within two days? Overall: This is nothing more than mundane teen drivel. It's an unnecessary sequel trying to cash in on the success of it's predecessor. The acting is poor and the ending unrealistic and predictable. Skip this lame flick - you're not missing anything.

After hearing a lot of negative comments about this movie, and how poor the acting was, I expected it to be one of the worst movies I would ever watch.However, I actually thought the acting was very good in some points. Bree Turner was AMAZING as Tina!!! She played her role as nasty head cheerleader so well I actually wanted to go in there and tell her off! Her part was so believable, and I think she deserves props for her acting skills.I thought the plot line was OK, but a bit copy-cat of the original. Some parts of the movie were hard to believe and a little corny, but I don't think it distracted too much from the overall message. Although the original was much better, I don't think this movie was a complete downfall.

I like Bring It On, and Bring It On: All On All Or Nothing, but I didn't enjoy this movie. Possibly the only good thing about this sequel was the Renegades performance at the end. Looking at number one, which was enjoyable, I found this to be a really poor excuse for the sequel. They should have cut this one out and made number three, number two. This just was like a copy of number one, with a few differences. One) they don't make an entirely new squad, two) the music is good, and three) number one and three both had good song tracks, while this had a really boring track. No offense to those who liked this one, but this was a really bad excuse for a sequel.
