Decent remake of a decent original
Pistol11117 August 2006
First, I will say I enjoyed the first movie, thought it was well done and entertaining. The second movie, in my opinion, was pretty poor, it just tried too hard and didn't flow at all.

That being said, this film was definitely a step up from the second one, and actually an entertaining movie. The story begins with Britney (played by Hayden) as cheer captain in a wealthy, predominately white neighborhood. But when her father gets transferred, they move to a lower-class neighborhood, predominately black and Hispanic. Having trouble fitting in, she adapts as you would expect: cheer leading.

Now, the movie itself has a very different feel when compared to its previous two successors. This movie has more profanity and prejudice then the other films. The ladies in the film are also showing more skin and dancing more sexually than either of the first 2 movies. It seems that the movie is trying to appeal to the older male crowd a little more than before.

Now, the movie has been getting a lot of trash for being a straight to DVD sequel, but it really is not as bad as people would make it out to be. While it may not be as family-friendly as the original Bring It On, the third installment still is an entertaining movie to rent.

So-So movie
victoriasxsecret11 May 2007
I'd say this was a so-so movie, worse than the first movie and better than the second movie.

The movie begins with Brittany's life as cheer captain. As her high school life is at it's peak she is forced to relocate to a neighborhood closer to her father's job. Throughout the movie there is slight racial tension, which I think that the movie could have done with out. And of course, much like the first two movies there's a sort of "forbidden love interest".

Overall, it's an entertaining movie, but I wouldn't expect for it to win any awards based on content.

What I thought about the movie
cdsomervil11 August 2006
This movie to me was better than the other Bring It On movies. This was worth watching; not saying that the other ones wasn't worth watching I'm saying that the third one was the most interesting. I really like that movie. I wonder what they gonna do in the next movie. I hope they make it with little kids in it so that they can influence little kids to cheerleaders when they get in school. I wonder if most of the people in part three gonna be in part four. i hope they do because Solange will be a great coach for the little kids. I really enjoy watching that movie it was so exciting and interesting. I watched this movie over and over; this movie has not got boring yet. Nice movie.

Tired plot, stupid dialogue, bad movie.
TOMNEL24 December 2006
Stars: Hayden Pantierre.

There have been so many movies that have this exact same plot, and this one is just a poor rehashing of it. Populer white girl moves to ethnic school, doesn't fit in, soon becomes accepted. Originality is nonexistent in this, and neither are the laughs. It uses so many old poorly executed jokes it's annoying. I don't know why they think it's a good idea to make made for video sequels to mediocre films, but it isn't. With that said, the positives in this are that all the people in it are fairly competent actors and actresses.

My rating: * out of ****. PG-13 for Language and Sexual Humor.

inadequate research done
dcrosso20 January 2008
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.

Where are the adults?
Sylviastel22 April 2010
I knew Hayden who played Brittany when she was on Guiding Light where she played Lizzie Spaulding. She's grown up and moved on but she'll always be Lizzie to me. In this performance, she takes a rich girl who is moved to the wrong side of the tracks known as Crenshaw Heights from Pacific Vista. She was head cheerleader and popular at her old school. In her new school, she's alone and ostracized for being the white girl. Anyway, she gets on the cheer-leading squad of her new school but tries to hide that information from her old friends. I have to say that Hayden and Marcy Rylan who played Winnie Harper in the film were worth watching. You see Marcy Rylan recently played Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light until it ended. Kind of ironic, anyway I felt the film was okay and had a story in it. My only problem is that there were no adults like parents or much about teachers in the film or a coach. Where is the adult supervision during activities?

Bury The Pom-Poms, Please
ThatGuyThom14 August 2006
This was terrible, mean-spirited, and full of the worst clichés and racial stereotypes I've seen in a looong time. Seeing Hayden P trying to act "ghetto" was painful (hi, one pant leg up on yer sweats and some braids Downs't make you "down with the homies"). Solange Knowles pretty much grimaces through the entire movie. Most of the set sequences look like they were filmed in cardboard boxes...what was up with the finale??? And poor Rihanna was just plain exploited to get people to watch her "act", which she can't.

Put simply, this film Downs't even deserve one star. Please put this tired franchise to rest. Or at least make the next one Bring It On IV: Cheerleaders vs. Freddy & Jason.

"Spirit Fingers. Everybody Does Spirit Fingers." --- Britney (Hayden Panettiere)
Robert_Hearth25 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
"Bring It On: All or Nothing" (2006)

Directed By: Steve Rash

Starring: Hayden Panettiere, Solange Knowles-Smith, Gus Caar, Marcy Rylan, & Cindy Chiu

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (for sexual humor and language)

The "Bring It On" series has never spawned deep, intellectual movies, but it has also never even attempted to do so. This series exists solely for the purpose of entertaining teens and, thus far, it has been quite successful. Yes, to some extent, the movies are silly and unbelievable, but they are highly effective in entertaining audiences and making people have a good time while watching a movie. The first film starred Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union and was quite a big hit (drawing in nearly $70 million domestically on a $30 million budget). It gave birth to the obligatory sequel, which went straight-to-video and was met with grunts and sneers from most fans of the original who were disappointed with the almost completely unknown cast and the lack of connections to the original. As soon as this sequel was released, there was hardly a doubt on anyone's mind that a third movie would be made and would, following the lead of the sequel, go straight to video. And here we are. The third film, entitled "Bring It On: All or Nothing", is a vast improvement on the first sequel, yet it still fails to completely produce the spark that ignited the original. It's still fun and original, but just not as good.

Britney Allen (Panettiere) has the perfect life at her posh high school. She is a senior, the new cheerleading captain, a shoe-in for Homecoming Queen, and she has the perfect boyfriend, Brad (Jake McDorman). But, weeks before Homecoming, her father loses his job and she is forced to move to Crenshaw Heights, a rough high school populated with tougher and more violent students. Britney proves herself to the overly-confident cheerleading captain, Camille (Knowles-Smith), and joins the squad. The team, the Crenshaw Heights Warriors, begin to prepare for a competition to perform on television with pop superstar Rihanna. However, they are not the only ones preparing. Her former squad, the Pacific Vista Pirates, is also gearing up, under the command of Britney's replacement, Winnie (Rylan), a snobbish and cruel cheerleader. As both squads make a mad dash for the goal, friendships will be tested and romances will crumble (and, possibly, form). But, only one squad can take home the grand prize. This is just the type of plot one should expect when a "Bring It On" film is announced. The plots are predictable, rather shallow, and always lead to some big face-off between two arch-rival squads. They are merely excuses to string together laughs, songs, and cheerleading performances. Just ignore the ultimately pointless plot and enjoy the entertainment it brings. That is the important thing when talking about "Bring It On: All or Nothing".

"Bring It On: All or Nothing" suffers from one major problem and many minor problems. The major one is the overuse of racism and racial remarks. I understand that the biggest difference between these two squads is their race, but this was also true in the original film and, yet, there was a limited number of racial comments. It seemed as though every character was a racist snob. Another problem was the almost constant cheesy dialog. I found myself chuckling during the romantic scenes and laughing out loud during the arguments. Does the screenwriter really think this is how teens talk? Teens should be offended that this is the way they are being portrayed. The performances are okay—but nothing too special. Hayden Panettiere does a good job and definitely gives the best performance. She was just so lovable. Solange Knowles-Smith (a.k.a Beyonce's little sister) also does a good job, though I thought her character could have been developed a little more. She handles herself well, though. Gus Caar just didn't do it for me. The boy may have the ability to make girls swoon, but he doesn't handle the emotional notes as well as he should have. Marcy Rylan gave a comical performance as the villainess of the movie. She was convincing enough. Cindy Chiu was delightful.

This may eliminate some of my respectability as a movie critic, but I liked "Bring It On: All or Nothing". It wasn't smart, innovative, or original, but it was a fun movie that kept me entertained. I found myself laughing and simply having a good time. Did I know what was going to happen? Sure. Did the movie overload on cheesy dialog? Definitely. But, when the credits rolled, I didn't feel as though I had wasted my time or money, because, if nothing else, it was enjoyable. You will gain nothing of any value from this movie, except for what you gain while watching it. It's a film that doesn't stay with you after it ends. This review is very hard to conclude, as I have no strong feelings about this movie whatsoever. It's a movie so pointless and harmless that writing four paragraphs telling you why you should see it is almost just as pointless. I say this because, if you were a fan of the first two films, then you will no doubt see this regardless of what I say and, if you hated the first two films, then you most certainly will not be seeing this. My point of this review is not to sway you people, but to sway those who have not seen the first two or enjoyed them, but don't particularly remember them. To these people, I say, "See it". It's a light watch, filled with fresh faces and plenty of laughs. There is no harm in having a little fun.

Final Thought: Fun and entertaining, "Bring It On: All or Nothing" Is Pointless…Though Completely Harmless.

Overall Rating: 6/10 (B)

A monumental crap pile
sarastro75 October 2006
The first two Bring It On movies were both quite good in their own ways. The first was fairly serious, the second was successfully satirical - and the third opted for the usual idiotic low-brow comedy that we always see in the utterly brainless teen movies that Hollywood has coming out of the woodwork. The entire point in this movie was that cheerleaders are total airheads who hardly know enough to carry on a common conversation, and that's the extent of this movie's comedy. Ha ha. Not.

There is no shred of cleverness in this movie, no theme, no subtext, nothing for anybody with half a brain to be entertained by (and sure enough, I could not sit through all of it). If you're the sort of person who're entertained by fart jokes, this movie is for you. Congratulations.

Terrible...I love it !
kaylammcconnell27 September 2022
This movie is absolutely terrible in every way possible and it's so corny. Sometimes you get bad acting, sometimes you get cool cheer moves. It's so cringey though...I absolutely love it. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I turn it on to cringe and enjoy it in bed. I love to hate it. Plus, Rihanna's in it. Who doesn't love her?

7/10 cause it really is terrible but it's so good at the same time ?? This has been one of my favorite movies for like 10 years. Highly recommend if you love weird cringey movies too.

Don't forget to watch the other one's if you wanna see more cringey stuff. Definitely not the first Bring It On, it's too good to be tossed in with the others that I'm talking about.

Racist Hypocrisy
rokkai12 April 2007
This is worst written dialog I have ever seen. Black people calling a girl "white girl" & "Snow flake" repeatedly thru out the whole lame movie. First off, it's not cool, given the situation in reverse Jesse "no real job" Jackson would be screaming racism. I am glad I got to see this crap movie before my kids did, as I don't want them to be brainwashed into accepting racist hypocrisy! The story line is at best far-fetched. Acting is sub par. Photography is typical TV movie shots. The value of your time regarding this movie should be better off spent watching grass grow. If you want on the other hand to accept that if you are a person of non-color you are obligated to give up your rights as a human being, have other colored people call you racist slurs then this movie is for you. You will never see Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson cry foul on this movie.

Finally! A Worthy Successor to the Original
Clay-Pigeon9 August 2006
If you have ill feelings about this movie because of its straight-to-video status then put those feelings aside and you'll be treated to a fun movie. This sequel succeeds where "Bring It On Again" miserably failed (and let me tell you, that movie failed BIG TIME!). Unlike the previous entry, this third installment gets everything right with a likable & appealing cast, killer dance routines, a terrific soundtrack, good story and better production values (most likely thanks to product tie-ins from Cingular, Teen People and Volks Wagon). While it doesn't top the original, it still comes close as a worthy companion. The film borrows the same basic premise as the original: pompous upper-class cheer squad (this time the Pacific Vista Pirates) vs urban middle-class cheer squad (Crenshaw Heights Warriors). But thanks to a new twist involving the former captain of the Pacific Vista team having to transfer to Crenshaw Heights and join their squad, the film focuses more on the racially diversified Crenshaw Heights Warriors and their point-of-view. Much credit is due to writer Alyson Fouse, a former writer for Chris Rock and Keenan Ivory Wayans, and director Steve Rash who both do an admirable job of going back to what made the first film so great without making it seem like they're trying to do the exact same movie over again. The cast, although made up of young unknowns, should also be complimented for bringing the right amount of spark and attitude to their characters so that you can't help but like them, no matter how stereotypical some of them may be. Which is more than can be said about the charmless, bland wannabes from the second film. Going through the DVD's bonus features, you'll be able to tell that the cast and filmmakers worked hard to make this movie live up to the original by having the cast go through rigorous training at cheerleader camp as well as hiring a variety of talented and innovative choreographers to come up with some unique and dazzling routines. So, put all prejudices aside, wash the awful taste of "Bring It On Again" out of your mouth, and give this fun addition to the franchise a shot.

Fun TV flick, with something for just about everyone
xredgarnetx27 May 2007
I hate to admit it, but BRING IT ON 3 is closer to the spirit of the original than the first sequel, which was pretty awful even when not compared to the sparkling original. A young cheerleading captain (Hayden P.) at a largely all-white, affluent high school transfers to an urban high school when her father loses his job and the family is forced to move. She runs smack dab into a heady dose of reverse racism, and it takes a bit to get that school's cheerleading squad to accept her. She also has to face off against her previous team. The spirit is sassy, and Hayden P. is a decent actress, although she has a way to go before she can be compared to Kirtsen Dunst from the original. Some great cheerleading moves. A worthwhile TV movie for youngsters of all ages. Watch Hayden P. She could be the next Kirtsen Dunst -- or Lindsay Lohan (hiccup!).

Adapting to a New School
Uriah431 November 2018
As a senior at an upscale high school named Pacific Vista, "Britney" (Hayden Pantierre) has just about everything a young woman could want as she is not only the head cheerleader but she is also dating the star quarterback as well. Unfortunately, when her father loses his job she is then forced to relocate to a lower-income part of town and attend an inner-city school named Crenshaw Heights. To that end, her new high school doesn't come close to having the prestige or the resources she has taken for granted. And to make matters even worse, the head cheerleader of her new high school named "Camille" (Solange Knowles Smith) takes an immediate dislike to her and because of that Britney is left without any friends and utterly alone. But when she learns that the cheerleading team is in desperate need of another member, she decides to demonstrate just how talented she is to everybody on the team. Sure enough, immediately after her performance they come to the realization that with her incredible talent and experience they have an honest chance of winning a local contest which could benefit both their program and their school. But before that can happen they first have to convince her to join the team which has treated her so badly. And if that wasn't difficult enough they will also have to defeat the best cheerleading team in the area-Pacific Vista. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought that this film had a bit more depth and humor than its predecessor "Bring It On Again". Likewise, having a couple of attractive actresses like Cindy Chiu (as "Amber") and the aforementioned Hayden Pantierre certainly didn't hurt either. Be that as it may, while this movie clearly wasn't a great comedy by any mean, I enjoyed it for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

disappointing
kerissachan17 August 2006
There was a lot of hype of this movie and the commercials made it seem like it would be great. Sadly, like Bring It On 2, Bring It On 3 shamed glory of the original Bring It On. There is shameless stereotyping throughout the film. The lines given to the actors were humiliating for all the races involved in the film. The performance of Hayden Panattiere was sub-par both in terms of acting and cheerleading. There were several scenes in which I literally cringed because I was embarrassed for the cast because the scene (lines, plot, etc) were just so stupid. My recommendation to the makers of any future Bring It On films is that you should hire good cheerleaders and teach them to act because the "acting" of the cast was horrendous and their lack of cheerleading ability made them completely useless to the film. Only great character: Kirresha.

Ignore the First Sequel and Watch This One
liberalblossom159 March 2008
Britney (Hayden Penettierre) was on cloud nine - wealthy, pretty, popular and the newly crowned captain of her cheering squad. Then her world comes crashing down around her when her parents announce that they will be moving and she will be attending an inner city school. She is devastated and vows she will never cheer again until she joins the squad at her new school. Now she's forced to decide who she can trust, who her real friends are, and what guys deserve to be in her life.

In some ways this film is a reiteration of the first film, except that the wealthy white girl is thrown into the inner city school instead of competing against them. However the acting is well-done, especially from Hayden and Solange Knowles - Smith. There is a good amount of foreshadowing so the ending doesn't feel thrown together. The drama feels real on screen (even though it is actually unrealistic)and the characters are likable. The best thing about this film has to be the end routine - it brings everything together.

The things that annoyed me about this film: *the IM speak - it wasn't funny, it was annoying, and anyone who talked like that would be beaten up.

*how dumb Britney acted in the beginning - considering a C-average good, and telling her friends they're too fat.

*how Britney lets everyone walk all over her when she has so much attitude. How does that work?

Overall:

This is a worthy direct-to-video sequel to the original. It's a fun film to watch with good performances and awesome dance moves. Do yourself a favor, skip the first sequel and give this one a watch if you liked the original, or just want an entertaining cheer leading movie.

Where's the dialog ?
whattorso26 November 2006
Seriously, I couldn't find anything that constituted a rational human thought in this movie. For some reason, the writer decided to have a bunch of actors in random places grunting, groveling and yelling like Cro-Magnon bipeds. I understand that this was about gymnastics, but seriously, what's with all the roaring and human bleating ? I also saw at least five actors with overactive terrets syndrome and stage 10 syphilis.

Although this movie has actual human acrobatics, I must say it is surprising that you can make a movie like this without having any intelligible form of human speech patterns. This is truly a milestone in the history of film-making because there was no conscious decision to make the characters express anything more than a timely Urrrrr ! or Rfff ! sound.

Incredible.

My Favorite In The Franchise
QueerVamp2026 July 2016
I love Hayden Pantierre - she is a cute little preppy actress who seems to put off a very beautiful and positive aura. What a great choice as the lead character. Hayden plays Britney, a privileged girl; captain of her cheer leading squad - but she is forced to leave the school and go to an urban school where she is snow in a dark pot. Her first run in with Solange Knowles character is not good - Britney is definitely a ditz. But with the help of new friends - she gains something to cheer about. There is a lot of drama in this movie but it is interesting enough to watch. Hayden slowly discovers her own rhythm and even a new romance (Oops, better not let her boyfriend know). Anyhow, Check it out - if you liked the first one - you will like this one too.

All or Nothing no better than Again
momcacheer10 August 2006
Bring It On-All or Nothing is no better than Bring It On Again. We bought the movie because we're cheer addicts, having been involved with competitive cheer for 10 years. We had open minds because we know some of the professional cheerleaders in each of the movies.

The opening scene told us that this movie wasn't worth a rental price, much less the purchase price. We own it, but we're not likely to watch it again. On the other hand we watch Bring It On #1 over and over. It's time to stop making these lousy sequels.

If you want to know what cheer is about, watch the original, or better yet, tune in to ESPN or go to a competition in your area.

Bring it on All or Nothing is a pretty good movie.
harmony_bear15 August 2006
Bring it on All or Nothing is a pretty good movie. I have seen the first two Bring it on movies and thought the first one was really good and the second one wasn't bad. As with all sequels, the first one is the best because nobody has ever seen it and the following movies are good, but not as good because they have a similar plot. Bring it on All or Nothing is a good movie to watch. I especially liked Hayden Panettiere who played the role of Britney. There isn't anything wrong with the film, there just isn't anything special about it either. Bring it on All or Nothing is a good movie to watch, especially for preteens. The stunts in the movie were awesome. They did really cool lifts and stuff. Bring it on All or Nothing is about a girl Britney, who is the captain of her school's (Pacific Vista High School) cheer-leading squad. She has a boyfriend and a couple of best friends. There is one girl, Winnie, played by Marcy Rylan, who wants to take Britney's place. When Britney's dad has to relocate because of his job, Britney has to switch schools to Crenshaw Heights, where she doesn't fit in, and Winnie gets her wish. She also ends up stealing Britney's boyfriend, Brad, played by Jake McDorman. Britney has to adjust to life at her new school. She vows to her friends at Pacific Vista that she will never cheer again. Long behold, she breaks that promise and joins the cheer-leading squad at Crenshaw Heights. There is some drama and conflict. In the end, Crenshaw Heights and Pacific Vista compete in an audition for Rihanna.

The movie was hilarious
imtruelyblessed13 August 2006
At first I thought the movie wasn't going to be any good. For the same reason a lot of people had. It is a third sequel with none of the same people in it. But to my surprise it was really funny. The mix of urban street and high class attitudes was excellent. I thought the movie also showed both sides to the racial prejudice that we in the United States still face. They did not show a one side issue with upper class whites downgrading the minorities. They went on to show that the minority groups also have stereotypical attitudes about whites or people who live in the upper class of society. The ending was the best it had a dance challenged at the end that rocked the cheers were out of this world the audience were on their feet and filled the theater with laughter the whole movie. It was great, the kids love it. Get it when it comes out you will not be disappointed. Great family movie with parental guidance not for younger children but the preteens will enjoy

Must
erumuvim13 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Rocketing off Bring It On's formula, Bring It On: All or Nothing brings us to Britney Allen's short-lived leadership of her upper-class school squad to moving to a new school where she is singled out also by head cheerleaders.

Despite this movie being a sequel to Bring It On, it is a great follow-up because of its small cast, very PG-13 MTV-inspired script, and great, great choreography.

Stars to watch out for are Hayden Panettiere perfectly portraying Britney Allen, the typical goody two shoes who later rediscovers herself at her new school; Solange Knowls naturally portraying the driven Camille as the perfect rival, fierce and yet knows how be a true friend; and last but not the least, the prince charming in the movie, one of the greatest dancers I have seen on screen, just watch the way he moves, Gus Carr as Jesse, the first person who befriends Britney on her first day at her new school.

If you you have seen Bring It On, then Bring It On: All or Nothing is a must see.

Mediocre at best... but has its moments
george-JL17 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Acting: Unconvincing - I'm not sure if it's just the shoddy dialogue they had to work with (more on that later) but the characters (especially in the first half) seemed very artificial. Expected better from a Hayden Panneterie film (she did work with some big name actors in previous films).

Dialogue: Lacks a certain subtlety and intelligence which was present (to an extent) in the first film. At some points it was almost embarrassing (e.g. when Hayden Pannetierre calls someone a "white girl"). Plus they recycled jokes from the first film (e.g. "spirit finger THIS; middle finger").

Script: Ridiculous to see Winnie doing a dirty dance for Britney's boyfriend in front of the entire cheer squad.. and Amber says they "tell each other everything".... she didn't tell Britney about this until much later.

Cinematography: Nothing really to write about here... although some good cinematography WOULD have bumped this film up to a "6" :).

Social commentary: As previous posters have pointed out, this film explores both sides of racial tension (sort of). However, many films before this have done the same, and it is not really any revelation that there are stereotypes in all directions.

Positives: That other male cheerleader (Jesse's friend) who got so excited over seeing Rhianna. Quite hilarious, and easily the best part of the film :).
