Storyline

College newcomer Whittier tries out for and joins her new college cheerleading squad to relive her high school days as head cheerleader. But when she and her best friend Monica are unable to stand being around the tyrannical and snobbish squad captain, Tina, Whittier and Monica quit and vow to form their own cheerleading squad made up of college campus misfits and social outcasts for a competition to see which squad will represent the college for the national cheerleader championship.

User Reviews

Completely implausible

This sequel isn't anywhere as good as the original "Bring It On." I only watched it because I'm a big gymnastics fan and I wanted to see what the acrobatics would be like. I enjoyed Whittier's audition and the cheering routines, but that was about it... Many things were blatantly ripped off from the original movie, including having a showdown between champions and underdogs. What bothered me most, though, was the total implausibility of the underdog squad's being able to learn difficult tumbling and cheerleading moves. I know that movies require a suspension of disbelief, but this was ridiculous! As a teen I tried to learn basic gymnastics skills, but despite having a gymnast's physique, I couldn't even master a back handspring. So the idea that a bunch of misfits with no prior training could become good enough to challenge experienced cheerleaders was not only absurd but insulting to real athletes! Cheerleading, like gymnastics, requires both innate talent and LOTS of hard work; you can't become great in two days! I advise skipping this movie and watching the original (or the gymnastics film "Stick It" by the same writer as "Bring It On").
