The Toro cheerleading squad from Rancho Carne High
School in San Diego has got spirit, spunk, sass and
a killer routine that's sure to land them the national
championship trophy for the sixth year in a row. But
for newly elected team captain Torrance Shipman, the
Toro's road to total cheer glory takes a shady turn
when she discovers that their perfectly choreographed
routines were, in fact, stolen from the Clovers, a hip-hop
squad from East Compton, by the Toro's former captain.
With time running out and the pressure mounting, both
captains drive their squads to the point of exhaustion:
Torrance, hell-bent on saving the Toro's reputation,
and Isis, more determined than ever to see that the
Clovers finally get the recognition that they deserve.
But only one team can bring the title home, so may the
best moves win!
Bring It On was the surprise hit of this past summer,
in a season that had more than its fair share of bad
movies! With a seemingly simple plot and
an all to abused genre (cheerleading movies!?), first-time
feature director Peyton Reed brought this low-budget,
quirky comedy to life, with wit, charm, a fabulous cast
and far more seasoned direction than his years might
indicate. Bring It On was a hit with audiences and surprised
the critics, delivering much more than expected.
Bring It On is a must see, and if you're a DVD fan
or collector, an absolute essential disc to own if,
for no other reason than that it includes some of the
best supplemental material around. Released by Universal
Home Video on February 13, 2000, the disc is loaded
with extras. Aside from a great transfer and Dolby Digital
and DTS 5.1 soundtracks, the disc includes an audio
commentary, making-of, deleted scenes and rare footage.
Not to be missed.
Bring It On marks the feature film debut of Peyton
Reed, and DVDFILE was fortunate enough to have to have
the opportunity chat with him recently about the success
of film, DVD and the future. Peyton is a huge fan of
the format, and his passion for film and filmmaking
shines bright. We think he will be one to watch. Thanks,
Peyton!
