Thoughts

We’re working our way through the Bring It On series, now that the first film in the franchise finally became available on streaming. I really didn’t think this one was going to be any good, it has no one even recognisable in it, let alone famous, and the front cover leaves a lot to be desired. But actually, it was watchable. Not outstanding but certainly a lot better than I thought it would be. It does stretch the believability quite a long way towards the end - as if they could get that good that quickly… and where did they get the costumes from? But still, a good message that the ‘freaks’ and the ’losers’ should not be counted out.
