Girls United - Gib alles!

I am sitting in pure amazement! This was the most inspiring, bright and delightful movie I have seen this decade! Wonderful! Outstanding! The acting was not at all sub-par... Victor was most definitely the best character, who developed and matured as the movie went on... and the cattiness had a purpose because everyone learned a very valuable lesson. Oh wait... NO, none of that is correct. I own this video now and when I watch it next I plan on fastforwarding through all the talking and watching only the dancing. PS anyone who thought Victor was HOT... try getting checked out at the Walmart Vision Center instead of the back of the 3rd rate neighborhood van you currently frequent; of course he is probably better than your present jailhouse penpal boytoy you tote as 'man of the year'.

Peace out!

After her widowed Latina mother "Isabel" (Laura Ceron) marries a wealthy man named "Henry" (David Starzyk), a high school cheerleader by the name of "Lena" (Christina Milian) is forced to move from East Los Angeles to Malibu. Although her new house is in an upscale part of the city, Lena is extremely upset about having to leave her high school friends and her cheerleading team where she served as the captain. Not only that, but once she gets to her new school she learns that a former cheerleader there named "Avery" (Rachele Brooke Smith) has left the current squad out of spite and taken most of the talented members to form a team outside of the high school known as the All Star Jaguars. Naturally, in desperate need of an experienced captain, the remaining Malibu Vista Sea Lions cheerleading team desperately begs her to lead their squad. Naturally, she accepts but soon realizes that she cannot revitalize this depleted team all on her own so when she learns that her old cheerleading squad has disbanded she eagerly recruits a couple of them to move in with her and help her out. Needless to say, this displeases Avery who has done everything she can to ruin this team. And she doesn't want anyone to get in her way. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I genuinely liked this film and thought it was actually better than any of its predecessors. Although the plot was certainly similar to the others, I liked the reverse-scenario of "Bring It On-All or Nothing" along with the chemistry between Lena and her two friends "Gloria" (Vanessa Born) and "Treyvonetta" (Gabrielle Dennis). They were hilarious. At any rate, while this movie certainly won't win any awards, I enjoyed it all the same and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

i love the bring it on movies, well most of them. i thought the second one was bad, but this one takes the cake for the worst. the dialog was so corny and predictably it hurt to watch. i couldn't even understand half of what they were saying cause of their accents. Lina's accent made it even cornier. i thought they should have had something more about the boyfriend who was the sister of the rival cheer captain. but there was nothing really there with them. the cheer routines were more of obnoxious grinding then actual cheering.i do gymnastics so I'm used to tumbling, but theirs was awful. i hated this movie and wouldn't definitely not watch it again.

I'm not a big fan of these so-called genre movies. They are pretty predictable...girl tries to be popular, is rejected by popular kids, then becomes more popular by besting the popular kids that made fun of her in the first place.

However, this movie went beyond formulaic. It bordered on offensive to both my eyes and ears.

The acting was sub-par and not believable in any way. The stereotypes and the accents made me cringe...and at times, made me out-right laugh.

I've never been as bored when watching a dance sequence before. It was sloppy and made me want to sleep until they where over.

This movie should be buried in that hole where they buried all those Atari E.T. games.

A waste of time, effort of everyone involved and money. People should lose their jobs over this steaming stinker.

Mirroring my review for BRING IT ON: ALL OR NOTHING years ago, I say that the "losing" team had much better moves. The Malibu Dream Team were more crotch-gyrating. The All Stars had a terrific lead dancer. Rachelle Brooke Smith was fantastic!

Okay, about the movie itself. The first bit, oh, cr... I was already thinking up a super-negative headline. Let me say one thing straight. Christina Milian as the lead girl, no way. Old enough to be a teacher. In the patio training scene with personal favorite Sky, there you see real youth, real delicate movements. The weak link in the whole thing is a performance that just alienated me from the get-go. It did get better. But the damage was done...

To the reviewers complaining about not understanding, well, if you're watching on DVD, switch to subtitles. One round of that, next time you won't need it. It is a pretty valid point if you're not watching on DVD, though. I would not have been able to catch what was said.

I ended up enjoying it immensely. And if The Raven compliments, well, take it as a feather in your cap.
