Girls United (2000)

Girls United: Directed by Peyton Reed. With Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, Jesse Bradford, Gabrielle Union. A champion high school cheerleading squad discovers its previous captain stole all their best routines from an inner-city school and must scramble to compete at this year’s championships.

“I thoroughly enjoyed u0026quot;Bring It Onu0026quot;. The filmu0026#39;s brisk pacing was perfectly suited to its theme, thanks to director Peyton Reed, the writing smart, sharp, and consistently and authentically funny,(as well as, at times, genuinely thought-provoking)thanks to writer Jessica Bendinger, and the acting solid all around. I also liked u0026quot;Bring It Onu0026quot; for what it didnu0026#39;t have-alot of tired, cliched boy-girl relationship stuff, and/or gratuitous sex/nudity. The opening dream/cheer sequence was a moment of sheer, brilliant comic/satiric movie magic, and later, when the professional choreographer shows up to help the Toros out, he almost steals the show. But what impressed me, perhaps, most of all about u0026quot;Bring It Onu0026quot; was the wonderful chemistry between the two beautiful-and talented-young female leads, Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku.”
