1:44Hayden is so tiny, bless her.
5:11I like the burgundy colours for the uniform.
11:44"If you leave., who's going to help me remember my locker combination?"
17:34Always jealous when people can put their hair up and it just looks good no matter what.
26:57"I can never cheer again," so dramatic!
28:11Cheerleading whilst sucking a lollipop seems ripe for disaster.
34:22Haha, falling into the box is hilarious.
36:34"Britney Cheers."
44:44Lettie is a big wuss.
51:03"I don't even like you and I treat you like a better friend."
1:00:34Is condoled a word?
1:11:33Aw, I like the massive tracksuit.
1:13:54Actual Rihanna though.
1:23:20There are so many extras in these movies.
1:22:45Haha, Rihanna in a blue top in front of a blue screen like that would work.

Thoughts

We've been working through the Bring It On movies and were keen on getting to this one as the two main stars are slightly more famous than the pair in the previous movie. It follows the same sort of pattern - two cheerleading teams are going head to head and there's rivalry and trash talk and romance and bitching, and plenty of cheerleading in between.

Although it's supposed to be a bit of a coup to have Rihanna in this movie, presenting the final showdown and makign that decision, it feels a bit off, throwing the film out of balance a bit. That and all the casual racism being thrown around make it not quite as good as it could have been, but otherwise an enjoyably fluffy film.

Rating: 3 / 5
