RELEASED TO VIDEO IN 2006 and directed by Steve Rash, "Bring it On: All or Nothing" is a high school/sports/dramedy about a popular pampered blonde cheerleading captain (Hayden Panettiere) who suddenly transfers to an inner-city school in Los Angeles, an hour away. Can she gel with her new, largely minority school-mates? Will she make the cheer team? "All or Nothing" is the third movie in the franchise. The others are "Bring it On" (2000), "Bring it On Again" (2004), "Bring it On: In it to Win it" (2007), "Bring it On: Fight to the Finish" (2009) and "Bring it On: Worldwide Cheersmack" (2017). The first movie was the only one that was theatrically released and is therefore the most polished in the series as far as overall production quality.This one arguably has the best assortment of women (Panettiere, Daniel Savre, Francia Raisa, Jessica Nicole Fife and Marcy Rylan). The movie starts strong, but loses its mojo in the second half, which is the opposite of the next film in the series, "In it to Win it," which starts weak but has an unexpected confession sequence at the midway point and ends strong. There's a great scene in the first act focusing on Savre's babelicious booty. Sadly, she's deemed "fat" by the other girls when she's easily has the most sex appeal of the female cast. Note to women: Men favor feminine curves, not stick-like bodies that resemble 12 year-old boys. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour & 39 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles. WRITER: Alyson Fouse. ADDITIONAL CAST: Gus Carr plays Jesse, a Hispanic dude, while Solange Knowles plays the captain of the cheer team of the inner city school. Cutie Rihanna has a significant peripheral role in the last act. GRADE: B

By my count the original 2000 "Bring It On" has spawned 4 additional movies, and at least this one seems to be a direct-to-video. The phrase "Bring It On" is used a number of times as a sort of challenge, if you have the stuff then 'bring it on.' It is a silly fluff of a movie, and most of the girls seem unusually rude and confrontational, which may make for a lot of action but frankly doesn't do justice to the fine boys and girls in most of our schools.Hayden Panettiere is the star as Britney Allen, the head cheerleader for the best cheering squad in Southern California. She is brash and demanding. But one day when she gets home her parents tell her dad has lost his job and will need to take a new one a distance away in a less luxurious part of California. This makes for some of the more inventive humor in the movie."But dad, won't that be a very long commute to work?" Dad tells her they are moving there. "Oh, I'll miss you guys so much." Then dad tells her "We are all moving there." Britney doesn't take it very well.When she gets to her new school, with a high percentage of black and Hispanic students she immediately doesn't fit in. Solange Knowles (Beyonce's little sister) is Camille , the head cheerleader at the new school. There is immediate friction.And that is really what the whole movie is about. The friction between the cheer squad, and the old school, and a competition to see which will get a coveted gig. I like Panettiere and she is really good here, doing as much with the script as she can. But it is just another teen angst diversion.

The characters are likable, the script is great, the acting is brilliant and the finale holds up to the original. All in all, I had great fun watching this film.I wasn't expecting it to be good, in fact I was expecting it to be quite poor, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think fans of the original will like the film very much and happily watch it alongside.Expect to see quite a few movie references, but they don't feel forced, so a natural part of the dialogue. I would quite happily recommend this friends who were fans of the franchise or otherwise. So far it's my favourite of the sequels (though I have yet to watch Bring it on again).

OK as a old cheerleader and coach all of these movies portray cheerleading to be something it is not. They all make a mockery of the sport..yes i said sport. These movies are one reason that cheerleaders have to push so hard in some states to be considered athletes. Despite what the movie makes you think there is no weight limit on a high school team, and mainly on the upper level teams the weight limit is only for the flyer (the person up at the top). also you are not able to step on or near the mat/floor when other teams are competing ( as in the scene when the "battle") they are not allowed to wear glitter unless they are an all-star team ( a team that competes against a score card per say),your hair must be put up, you can not change/add to your team at/ during the competition, and the uniforms are illegal they are too short and reveling, as well as a good 1/2 of the stunts that they preform are illegal to do on a high school team and even in a upper level team unless once again you are an all star team on top of that they make most of the cheerleaders ( mainly the captions) to look like they are always mean. and they make they make the cheerleaders look well like sluts...in almost every movie except the first. the writers did not research this topic as well as they should have. They should have put more time into the planning. do they not realize that ACTUAL cheerleaders would watch this? and do they not realize that little girls who want to be cheerleaders will also watch this, and if this is what America is being shown as cheerleading it is a sad world we live in. It is a exausting, dedicated,and very technical sport. all the sequels are sad, and it is horrific that this is what they chose to portray cheerleading as a complete joke. it is a sport and it should be portrayed that way.
