Fun to watch but doesn't hold up to the previous sequels
Bifrostedflake28 June 2008
I'm a big fan of cheerleader movies, so I looked forward to watching this film. Overall I would say it isn't as good as the previous sequel (Bring it on: All or Nothing), but it does have a few things to say for itself.

The characters are very likable and the acting is good, there are some particularly fun moments to watch, however the script is weak and the finale doesn't have the same WOW factor as previous attempts in the franchise.

It felt like the director was far too busy trying to reference other films than concentrate on this one. The plot is very slow at the mid way point and drags into a disappointing finale.

Those things aside, there isn't a great amount of 'we've seen this all before' so fans of the franchise will probably enjoy it, but perhaps not as much as the other films. If the next film in the franchise has a little less pep and a little more plot, it could be quite good.

Bringing it on again?
Kimimela10 March 2008
After "Bring it on: All or nothing" I was more or less sure that I had seen everything there was to see about cheerleading, and when I heard that there was to be yet another Bring it on -movie I was very skeptic to the idea. It seemed to me that the Bring it on -franchise was turning into a modern Rocky/Rambo-franchise for teens: You think it's over, but then there's another one and another one and another one... often with deteriorating over all -quality as a result. To test my hypothesis I decided to watch "Bring it on: In it to win it".

As suspected the storyline was simple, nothing too surprising. There was the usual conflict between two teams, two girls fighting and the usual "wrong" hottie and the amazing final routine. It seems to me that there is a pattern in choosing actors for the Bring it on -movies. Bring it on 1 and 3 starred fairly famous actors/actresses (Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Bradford and Hayden Panettiere), while Bring it on 2 and 4 had (at least to me) fairly unknown actors/actresses. The good thing about casting relatively unknown actors/actresses is that they just might surprise you, as Cassie Scerbo (Brooke) did. Her sassy, sarcastic attitude, combined with her constant applying of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" -principles to her methods with which to destroy Carson's (Ashley Benson) squad, was very impressive.

All in all, I found "Bring it on: In it to win it" fairly amusing, and by far better than "Bring it on Again", which I regard as an all time low. The rivalry between the two squads is much like the one in the previous Bring it on -movie, and as usual the final routine was something special. As I live in a country where cheerleading is not such a serious or popular sport, I found it interesting and entertaining to watch this movie, even though I'm sure a lot is over-exaggerated.

I'd recommend this movie if you want something light and funny to watch on with your friends, but if you want something deep and thoughtful with acting that should get an Oscar... watch something else.

Plenty of Acrobatics and Dancing but Lacking in Humor
Uriah433 November 2018
This film essentially begins with an all-star cheerleading team from California named the West Coast Sharks traveling to the Summer Cheer Camp in Florida to compete against their bitter rival from New York known as the East Coast Jets in a contest for the national championship. Although the East Coast Jets have beaten the West Coast Sharks three times in a row, the captain of the Sharks named "Carson" (Ashley Benson) is determined to win this time. Naturally, the captain of the Jets by the name of "Brooke" (Cassandra Scerbo) is equally determined to beat the Sharks. But what neither of them realize is that another team known as the Flamingoes has suddenly emerged with a lineup that appears to better than either of them. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, even though the similarity to West Side Story was quite obvious at the start, the film then shifted into something quite different around the midpoint with interpersonal drama giving way to increased dancing and acrobatics. Unfortunately, what was absent from this sports-comedy was any noticeable humor and that seriously affected this film as a whole. And it's because of this rather glaring omission that I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

sucks
kkoufalis69214 May 2009
MGA decided after putting people through the pain of three Bring It On movies, to make a fourth one. Apparently after trying three times the people at MGA think that they will get it right a fourth time; I think not.

Not any different than the other three movies this one takes place in Florida at the National East Coast cheer leading championship, where the mighty East Coast Jets compete with their rival team, the sharks. The Jets new captain Carson, played by Ashley Benson is the most "focused" on the team until she meets Penn (played by Michael Capon) and she loses this "focus"- if there was any. Little did Carson know that her Prince Charming was on the Sharks cheer squad. The teams ended up having to work together because of people on both squads getting injured during the passing of the spirit stick.

The writer and the director of this movie should seriously be fired for even considering being a part of this project. After three movies of Bring It On people would think that they would stop the attempt at making these movies. I cannot even begin to comprehend as to why people like these movies.

What's bad about this movie is has the same plot as the other three Bring It on movies, there is nothing original about it. It reminds me of every other teen movie that is in the market. The directors and writers need to come up with something different if they want to make more money.

If I wanted to go see girls be promiscuous and to backstab one another I would go to my old school, and not spend money on a DVD that isn't worth the 90 minutes.

Hard to decide which was worse, the acting, the plot or the script.
whatever_kath13 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
There is nothing I liked in this movie. Most of the characters are awful people, the main character shares things told in confidence and is a bad role model for anyone watching. There are honestly no words for how truly awful the acting is in this film, I don't think I have ever seen worse. The cheer-leading is nowhere near as good as before, you can barely hear a lot of the chants. It's painful. The stereotyping is also atrocious. The script...there are no words. "These prairie dogs are so bad, they can't even roll over", it's cringingly bad. The music is also poor. The is a point in the plot where they all confess things they have lied about. There are a lot of things confessed which are major points in their personality's. Everyone is a liar. Which forces me to further dislike the characters further.

So save yourself the near physical pain, and just don't watch it.

Turn It OFF!
bill_b427 December 2007
Analysts determine that catastrophes are the result of a chain of errors that through stupidity and misfortune fall together into one regrettable moment. I can only disdainfully shake my head when I contemplate the motivations and decisions of the circus of fools responsible for birthing this cinematic abomination, and subject us unsuspecting audiences to its suckiness. Only thing going for it was the T&A, and even that wasn't enough to save it. I really don't know how the IMDb users who liked this movie were smart enough to be able to use a computer and vote for it. They MUST have had help. Bad acting, bad plot ... Hey! If you think you just might like watching a porn movie without all that objectionable skin and sex, give this steaming pile a try!

Sweet movie! Good laugh and night in. Enjoyed it a lot!
killer_instin2910 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Having not seen the previous movies to this, I am judging this movie solely as a standalone. Firstly I don't really like movies where there is no action/suspense and fighting (typical guy movie) but to be honest I quite enjoyed this movie. The movie has a good mix of characters with their own reason for joining a cheer leading team. Throughout the movie you do understand why they would want to join such a team. The movie has a good selection of songs and very cool dance moves with a lot of hot girls ;) The movie isn't just another teen flick to come of the Hollywood conveyor belt because it does actually flow and have a fun story line to it. I would not go out and watch this in the cinema because personally I don't feel that its a big hype movie. Non the less it is very fun to watch and does not bore you. I watch some movies and they are so rubbish that most of the time its on I just wonder about something else. There was not one moment in this movie that I was bored by it! Great movie to watch in with your partner and would highly recommend! Cheer leaders rule!!

*** *** SPOILER WARNING!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!

The movie has a basic plot outline; a team of rival cheerleaders want to make it through a competition to represent America in the internationals. The two rivals the Sharks (the goodies) and the jets (the baddies) meet at a camp where they must compete to win. During the visit they are given a lucky charm by an instructor which they can't lose...what do they do> lose it! Due to this an an evil curse is released upon them leading to catastrophe. To have a chance of making the internationals they must join forces to take on a highly skilled opposition team! In between this there is a love story between sharks captain and a member of the jets leading to a lot of trouble and mischief. The dance moves are awesome! and carried out well. I won't tell you who wins the competition...watch it!!

only for cheer fans
SnoopyStyle22 December 2015
Carson (Ashley Benson) leads the West Coast Sharks against her nemesis Brooke (Cassie Scerbo) and the East Coast Jets. Jets have won three years in a row. The Jets are precise while the Sharks are daring. Carson falls for flirtatious Penn (Michael Copon) who turns out to be a Jet. The Sharks are given the Spirit Stick but somebody steals it. The rivals get into an off-campus cheer off resulting in many injuries. To field a complete team, they have to combine forces and work together.

Ashley Benson is a fine actress but Hilary Duff lite actually hurts. I like Michael Copon's brash arrogance. Ashley Tisdale has a small cameo. The rest of the cast is either forgettable or simply bad. The adult characters are beyond bland. The writing isn't helping anyone either. The superficial referencing of West Side Story only gives a veneer of respectability. This is a former interesting franchise that has gone to straight-to-video hell.

The Bring It On Franchise is bouncing back...
rawrDisco30 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Taking it for what it is...a teen movie full of bubblegum and meant to be brain numbing entertainment, it was awesome. Although none of the sequels in the franchise will ever compete with the original. I have to say that it was good for a direct to DVD. Cassie Scerbo as Brooke actually amused me...

The only thing I hated was having to be subjected to the horrible face and acting of Jennifer Tisdale who clearly rode her sister's Disney coat tails to get the part...and the boring romance plot between Pen and Carson. SNORE.

I almost died when Aisha spurted her "slice you like government cheese comment". How ignorant. The whole oreo storyline wasn't even believable since they chose such a lame actress.

terrible
shanks-1020 January 2008
the first was still the best. this movie reminded me of grease and high school musical....... cheer battles in the street, people doing flips and jumping off light poles!! been done and this movie was over the top. Not to mention all of the sexual comments, i don't think kids would get them, but they're there plenty. This movie would appeal to teenagers but I would not let them watch due to the sexual content. The acting was poor and a lot of the lines are cheesy. There are way too many so called messages that you get lost trying to follow them. I would not willingly watch this movie again or recommend this movie to anyone.

Pretty and lots of fun
kathleen-pangan14 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was fun to watch. If you like cheerleading and just watching it with some upbeat music playing in the background, that's what Bring it On: In it to Win has to offer. There was an obligatory spirit stick and cheer camp, and some East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry with a few references to West Side Story, but mostly it was a lot of excuses to have some cool routines on camera. They cheer in a camp that is sort of a pseudo-Disneyland, which was pretty interesting in that they have a lot of fun backgrounds that can look sort of fake but fun and vacation-ish. Everyone is pretty, from the blonde captains and vampire goth girl to the black best friend and "gay" guy. Oh, and the half Filipino-half German love interest of the protagonist is really cute, and the first scene he is in, he is topless. In any case, this was brainless eye candy that was fun and just, a lot of fun.

Wait around for the second half -- it's cheer-tastic (groan)
Wuchakk24 November 2016
Released to video in 2007 and directed by Steve Rash, "Bring it On: In it to Win it" is a high school dramedy/sports flick starring Ashley Benson and Cassandra Scerbo as Carson and Brooke, the captains of two rival cheerleading teams, the West Coast Sharks and the East Coast Jets respectively. They meet at Camp Spirit-Thunder in Florida for the championship, but Carson's romance with a male cheerleader of the Jets (Michael Copon) throws a wrench into the proceedings. Everything falls apart when the rival squads engage in a cheer-rumble where half their teammates sustain injuries that remove both the Sharks and the Jets from competition. What will they do?

"In it to Win it" is the fourth movie in the franchise. The others are "Bring it On" (2000), "Bring it On Again" (2004), "Bring it On: All or Nothing" (2006) and "Bring it On: Fight to the Finish" (2009). 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 perhaps explains why I couldn't get past the 50-minute mark of "In it to Win it" the first time I tried to watch it, but I decided to give it another chance and am glad I did because the first half is just a build-up to the nigh genius of the second half. While the first half is kinetic fun, it lacks dramatic depth and therefore becomes a bore by the mid-point, but the second half fleshes out the great characters and everything clicks for an amusing high school dramedy/ sports flick.

What distinguishes "In it to Win it" is that the entire movie takes place at the national cheer camp, which is parallel to a huge amusement park; as such, there are no high school sequences. In the first half you'll role your eyes at the stereotypes, but the second half pulls the rug out from underneath your presumptions with a great "confession" sequence. Highlights include the semi-homage to the renowned "West Side Story," the great cast, the smart amusement, the energetic tone and some amazing cheer routines, not to mention Ashley Tisdale's hit song during the credits. "In it to Win it" also has better women than the first movie, although not as good as "All or Nothing" (featuring Hayden Panettiere and Danielle Savre).

Speaking of the "great cast," they're essentially no-names, but they deliver the goods as a nice assortment of characters that you come to understand and like over the course of the story. Beyond the cast noted above, the top ones are Noel Areizaga (the gay Shark), Jennifer Tisdale (curvy white Jet), Kierstin Koppel (the Goth Shark) and Anniese Taylor Dendy (black shark with seemingly ghetto edge).

The film runs 90 minutes and was shot at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Orlando Resort.

Worst Sequel Yet
piratehunter27 December 2007
I have seen all four of the Bring It On Movies and this was by far the worst one yet. The actress who plays Carson was the best in the movie and the other girls were barely tolerable to watch... a waste of a trip to blockbuster if you ask me.

The plot is set out to be a modern day version of The West Side story, with the two sides coming together to succeed in the end. But bad acting, writing and costumes (these girls are young, but having them wearing two small of shorts resulting in "muffin top" is ridiculous) ruins the movie in the end. No wonder it was a straight to DVD film. Jennifer Tisdale should be ashamed of herself for choosing a part in this movie. She is too old to be playing the high school cheerleader ditz. It might be time to move onto a new career and leave the success to her little sister.

Hands down the worst film I've seen this year -- appalling
KWSN6726 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I don't even know where to begin when describing the horrors of this film. I was a semi-unwilling participant in watching it with my younger sister after she got it as a Christmas gift, and boy do I wish I'd gone to another room. Everything about this movie was sickening. The ham-fisted sexual innuendo was immensely unfunny and served no purpose but to encourage young teenage girls (the only people who I could EVER envision enjoying this film) to be "slutty," as the film put it. The token black character was easily the most racist portrayal of anyone that I've ever seen in my life. I'd like to congratulate the actress playing that role for setting back her race at least 50 years... I almost got sick at the point of her "incredible revelation" that she was "black on the outside, white on the inside." Completely revolting. The portrayal of the "goth" girl also made it painfully obvious that anyone involved in the writing of this script has never come in contact with anyone who would consider themselves "goth" in any manner, and when I say painfully, I mean it literally. I could feel my insides knotting up every time she spoke out of sheer disgust.

To ANYONE who is considering seeing this movie, or even worse, getting this movie for their kids to see, DON'T. All it does is encourage them to be promiscuous idiots without any entertainment value whatsoever. Steer clear of this one at all costs.

Horrible Movie
kithound2324 December 2007
If I could rate this movie with less than one star, I would. This was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The plot (well the numerous mini plots) was completely predictable, and the acting was atrocious. If a high school school produced this film, it might be impressive, but even that is a stretch.

The actors are not in shape, making it hard to believe that they are athletic people. You would think that the thought of being a huge screen (although this movie did not even make it there) would motivate the actors to do a few sit-ups or lay off cupcakes. I'm not saying that they needed to be stick thin, but most high school competitive cheerleaders have under a 20% body fat.

The movie is so corny that you have to laugh. I was impressed with the actors for being able to keep a straight face during their filming. The lines and scenes are so forced, it makes me wonder if the writers were on crack when they wrote the script. The "cheer battles" are so unrealistic that I found myself staring blankly at the screen wondering if my eyes were deceiving me. "Is this for real?" is the phrase that will probably run through your head as you watch this. If you want to see a stupid movie that will make you laugh until you cry from the sheer absurdity of it all, this is the movie for you, otherwise do not waste your time or money on this rubbish.

bring it on: Not in it...disappointing
jane_jenga18 March 2008
To be quite honest bring it on in it to win in shouldn't even be counted as a sequel the acting was blunt, the story line was predictable. Oh I here you say its supposed to be a classic type cheerleading movie..? The sound from the last one WHICH WAS BRILLIANT was used a lot in this one. The cheers, didn't do anything for me, I didn't once think OMG that was amazing or anything...and I think all the soundtrack was lousy. Trust me, I was really disappointed with this cheer movie, I kept thinking noo it will quicken up in a minute, but it didn't its just like one of those movies where you're like get to the point. Apart from it never got to the point...

An insult to your intelligence.
julemanden424 July 2010
Don't watch it. This is a huge waste of time, and you shouldn't force yourself to watch it. Every single character is a stereotype cutout, and there are no likable characters. You know how movies usually have protagonists you can understand and have motives you can agree with within the plot of the movie? This one instead has a bunch of characters you can only hate. There's the homosexual cheerleader. Who turns out not to be homosexual for no other reason than to.. oh wait... There was no reason. There's the 2 female protagonists who hate each other. This is shown in their incredibly clever smack talk which you just cant help but enjoy. All that snapping and stereotypical insults really make you loath yourself for ever sitting down to watch this movie. I could go on, but I don't want to. I really don't want to continue and elaborate on this horrible movie.

I'll just leave you with this: Do you really want to watch a movie about a bunch of obnoxious teens you can only hate? A movie that only exists because the producers wanted to force some more money out of the 'bring it on' "franchise".. if you can even call it that. Calling it a franchise would be an insult to actual franchises.

You might come and tell me that you only want to watch a comedy to waste some time without having to think. Do you really want to spend 1 and half an hour of your life on this piece of ****? Go watch something good. By watching this you become a stereotype of the average American teen who's just too stupid to realize that movies are more than comedies.

All in all - Just don't watch it. Spend your time doing something else. Watch a good movie.

Oh right. Why did I give it 2/10 instead of 0/10? Because of the hot women. Only redeemable thing about this movie would've been a nude scene, a shower scene or something. That would've bumped it up to a 4/10.

Bring It On: In It To Win It (Major Spoilers)
thetrueresidentevil23 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I must say, first of all, that Bring It On: All Or Nothing is my favorite thus far (Hayden Panettiere is exquisite), but this movie was in close second.

The fourth installment of Bring It On was intended to go back to it's old roots with character development and storyline. The movie has many references to West Side Story (As was the intention). With two rival teams, the Sharks and the Jets, you can expect a lot of bitterness. Of course, what would a Bring It On movie be without rival teams, right? Well, here is the thing:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SPOILERS BELOW~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two rival teams show up at Cheer Camp at Universal Studios. The West Coast Sharks and the East Coast Jets are put in the same group, of the two major groups that exist at the cheer camp, under a very insane cheer coach. Jets have won the competition three years in a row with the Sharks coming in second every time. Well the sharks are determined to win this year. Then one of the leads unwittingly falls for a guy for the opposing team. Anarchy ensues. Huzzah! The two teams, after much fun drama, decide to have a "cheer rumble - no touching" and we go on our West Side Story idea. Members of both teams are injured and are told they need to go home. Well, the Sharks and Jets struggle with the idea of forming one team to have enough members to compete, and from here on, you are going to have to watch the movie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END SPOILERS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The acting is great for a STV (straight to video) movie, the stunts are amazing, and the storyline is amazingly well constructed. If you hated the second and third bring it on, or even just the second (yes, it was disappointing, but for some reason i still love it), give this fourth one a try. You may or may not like it, but with reviews like this, how could you not at least rent it, eh? Ciao

Awful
cabbiexoxo2 November 2008
Yes. I absolutely loved Bring It On. It is a fun movie that most people, even if they won't admit it, love. Bring It On All or Nothing was cute. This movie however, was terrible! The story was bad. The acting was painful. The whole movie was cliché and just plain bad! I don't know how else to say it! Unless you are a cheerleader under the age of 10 do not waste your time with this movie. I usually find something good about every movie but not this one. None of the actors really amazed me and I hope this will be the last Bring It On movie because I am so sick of them now. This movie kind of ruined it. I love to watch cute movies with my friends at sleepovers but this is just stupid. I would recommend Step Up or Jumper if your looking for a fun movie to watch with friends.

What the hell is wrong...?
ipselute22 January 2010
What the hell is wrong with you, people? Are you blind or just completely stupid? This Bring It On 4 is a DISASTER. They should have skipped the number 4 just like they skip floor 13 on hi-rise buildings. Thanks Goodness for Christina Millian in Bring It On 5 or this whole B.I.O series would have died long time ago. What to say about B.I.O 4: all the actors sucks, especially the blondes. The cheer-dances are like nothing compared to the dances in the others B.I.O movies. The script is awful and the acting is even worst. There is absolutely no face to remember in this movie, not even the main character. Do you remember Hayden Panetierre in B.I.O 3? Or that HOT afro-American babe in B.I.O. 2(sorry, i don't remember her name)? Or even Kristen Dunst in the first B.I.O movie? I surely do. But this B.I.O 4 is like a complete void to me. I just finished watching it like just 5 minutes ago and i already forgot everything and everybody in it. Don't waste your time and money on this one, 'cause even if you do, you'll forget it all in less than 5 min. Guaranteed.

It grows on you

Warning: Spoilers
Bring it on: in it to win it. Where do I start? I think the two main characters Brooke and Carson did a really good job of their acting, and played the parts the best they could. I bought this as soon as it came on because I am a great Bring it on fan, the first time I watched it I was very disappointed and was tempted to give it a 1 out of 10. One of the big errors I think is when they had a truth out type thing which basically ruined all the characters and those type of characters made the first,second and third a instant classic. E.g the gay,the goth and the black girl with attitude and it just ruined that. Another mistake that you start to notice is that some of the cheerleaders in the Jets and the Sharks are in there mid thirties!! I thought Chelsea's (Jennifer Tisdale) performance was terrible she was also way to old to be a cheerleader ditz and stuck out like a sore thumb from all the tanned and toned other cheerleaders. Its one of these movies that you have to watch a few times to like it.

What A Creatively Predictable Plot!
leighabc12311 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Similar to the other cheerleader Bring It On Movies, there was plenty of back flips. Similar to "All Or Nothing," two rival groups come together and end up winning it all. There was also a crush that turned out to be a happy ending in this movie. Isn't it ironic that the main characters in the movie just happened to be the cheerleaders who didn't get hurt and went home on the bus injured before the final competition. And that Spirit Stick curse! That was all in their minds. It was confusing that two teams on the same camp were rivals, but they still competed against another camp. I can't wait for the next installment of the "Bring It On" series. Maybe the plot won't be predictable.

Bring It On!!!!
faa-risa21 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The first time I saw this movie was when I was at my friend's house. She's a huge fan of cheerleaders and so she loves the'Bring It On' movies a lot. At first when the movie started, I had no interest to watch it. But soon as I saw the dancing, the battle on the competition, it really got my attention. The story is not hard to follow cause it's about two great squads of cheerleaders, the West High Sharks and the East High Jets. They have competed in many cheer leading championships. One day, they end up in the same cheer camp call Cheer Camp Nationals. Many things happen between these squads including romance. The Captain of the Sharks, Brooke, falls in love with a man who is actually one of her biggest rivals, Penn from the Jets. Carson, the Captain of the Jets hate it and she tries everything to separate them. She steals a Spirit Stick which is a sacred thing in the cheer leading world. The one who lose the Spirit Stick will be in bad luck for the rest of their lives. It's not good for the Sharks cause when the Spirit Stick disappear, Brooke is the one who keep it. Bad things happen to the Sharks but they still don't want to surrender. They make a secret battle with the Jets which unfortunately caught by the judge. Both squads are dismissed. Brooke who has the most spirit to win ask Carson to join the squad. She thinks if they are together they'll be perfectly strong. Things don't work at first, but with patience and courage they have succeed and won the Championship. I really recommend this movie to anyone who loves to cheer leading!!!

Watching the start of the movie i thought is this gonna be the end of bring it on than as the movie progressed further i noticed that bring it on was finally addressing what cheer leading is and what its all about. From cheer offs, to cheer rumbles, to an actual tournament this movie covered it all. You got the captains who want it all ext. My most impressive finding in this bring it on is it shows that cheer leading isn't for one type of person as some say, it shows that cheer leading is for everyone.

Over all its my favorite so far cause it shows entirely what being a cheerleader is all about and that who you are doesn't effect the possibility's of being a cheerleader. In the USA and many other countries cheer leading is a fast growing sport and if more cheer movies were made like this, the results would be great.
