Bring It On [Blu-ray]

This move came out when I was a kid and I've loved this ever since. It's a nostalgia for me so I had to add it to my collection. To everyone one else it may be a little raunchy but it's one of my favorites.

Some say it's predictable; some say it's just another teen movie. But it's hardly possible to dislike "Bring It On," because it succeeds in creating fun in most down-to-earth fashion. To say it's bad is like kicking a puppy clinging to your feet.To me, the best thing in "Bring It on" is that it pays due respect to cheerleading, sometimes hugely misunderstood among the people (see "Replacement," for example"). I am teaching at women's college in Japan, and I have actually witnessed what they can do once. It was sensational. They took my breath away. "Bring It On" will increase the number of cheerleaders in high school, and it's no wonder. On top of that, I am willing to welcome Kirsten Dunst in teen movie, whose previous work was "Virgin Suicides." I don't say I hate the movie; still, I'd rather give another $ 10 to watch "Bring It On" than to see her dead. The real find here is, however, Eliza Dushku, who easily steals every scene she's in with her natural charm. Look how she smiles!The most important key to the success of the film may be, after all, the characters are all taking their life seriously as the exciting national competition of the final scene shows. We find there that we, young and old, could relate to them. After all it's good to see people enjoying themselves, and doing what they can do earnestly. Love cheerleading. Love life.[FROM HERE BELOW, MY COMMENTARY REFERS ONLY TO VHS SPECIAL EDITION ISSUED IN 2001]As Amazon's technical information is slightly erroreous, I add some correction below. The tape contains two "deleted scenes"; one of them is a kitchen scene, in which Torrence (Dunst) confesses she has a boyfriend. The other is the scene where Torrance's parents talk about her future education in college by the side of swimming pool. The "extended scene" is the locker room scene, originally done in one shot, like De Palma or Scorsese often does. The director wisely decided to use only the half of it, and for the rest of the scene he substituted frontal shots of Torrance and her friends respectively. (It may be interesting to compare two takes for fans because total effect is different.) So, "Locker Room Scene" IS this "Extended Scene"; they are the same thing. Nothing serious, though, when the feature film is so funny.

Got to watch this with my kids the other day, they loved it just as much as I did!

Perfect

I think that I have watched this movie- part one only- over 200 times. I actually lost the disc in India in my hotel room of all places. I thought of it as I sat on the airplane! I replaced this movie while "taxiing" (I opened my lap-top, hit "home" which made my computer think it was in the USA, and I ordered another copy from Amazon, maybe less than 45 seconds.) I was irritated I didnt have it for the flight, but, I was re-assured that I would have it for my next! This movie is so infectious, I have memorized content, I make myself laugh without the movie being on by just thinking about it.... Ive made everyone I know watch it, everyone loved it, my parents, loved it. (I doubt it has anything to do with Eliza D being my friend from childhood.) And, if I cannot find the movie for some reason, I get nervous thinking I may have lost the disc!I panic! Its one of those movies that you can always rely on bringing enjoyment, laughter and a smile when you need one "Bring It!" if you go on a long plane ride or just need 90 minutes of time to kill while your waiting for you cloths to wash/dry.....MUST HAVE!

Very good.

Thank you

JB Hi-Fi is my local Music and movie retailer, and many old releases are only available as a special order including movies and older CD releases that are not popular. Bought this movie for my brother for Christmas and after a month of him owning it, I never heard from him, but when I emailed him, he told me it was fantastic. This is a movie he and his girlfriend loved. I can't write anything about this movie as I have not seen it, but this DVD movie pleased them both on Christmas afternoon at my sister's place. It was a fantastic Christmas lunch and nothing could be better than coming home to watch "Bring it On" with his girlfriend. I was concerned about the region issues, but in Australia, a cheap DVD player is multi regional. The picture and sound quality were up to expectations and I should ask my brother if he wants any more of the "Bring it on" films. I might be able to order him one every year.
