American Girls 5: Que la meilleure gagne!

This movie is predictable but it's not a bad thing. I've loved this movie as a kid but wanted to write a critical review as an adult. Lots of the dialogue is corny but can't complain because it's cute. It's also funny.

First off, setting up the story is poorly done for this movie. The writers failed to set up the story by excluding important details eg: it's not explained how Lina's Mom and rich stepdad met since they come from different socioeconomic worlds. So how did they meet?

In general, the characters need more depth, but maybe there's an exception for a cheerleading movie. The character growth is underdeveloped but central themes of love, friendship, and family kept this movie together.

The acting is good, but the scenes didn't make sense eg: How did these teenagers have their party at a club? Yet sodas were on the tables lol. The characters were over the top with Latino stereotypes from East LA. But I LOVE the dancing, LOVE the music, and Christina Millan is hot when she appears on the screen. And I love Lina's friends!

My biggest complaint is that the movie has too many Latino stereotypes throughout. Overall, this movie deserved it's current 5/10 rating because the consistent stereotypes were offensive and uncomfortable to watch.

Anyway, I hope my review was helpful :)

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.

So I rented this movie for fun...just to kill time. Never thought I'd find it pretty interesting. But maybe it's because I'm into dancing too, and cheer leading is...some sort of it...but it's a sport.

The movie starts out hot and stays that way throughout the whole movie. There are some slow parts, but it's because it's a chick flick. Expect there to be.

Dances are amazing, so are the cheer practices that they have every now and then. Acting I would have to say is pretty okay. I didn't know that Christina,a real beautiful woman, shows lot of culture in this movie. Her acting is actually okay. Holland Roden's acting was astonishing, from being a geeky nerdy cheer girl she transforms into a confident and comfortable lady. Nikki SooHoo is hilarious. I love her character and especially her voice in this movie.

We all gotta know that in the end this movie is just made for fun. I read the other reviews on here saying "It's an insult to Allstars". This movie is fictional. It would be boring if the rules weren't broken and it was just how you normally do cheer competitions. For the guy that said "I'm not a big fan of these so-called genre movies. They are pretty predictable...girl tries to be popular-" blah blah blah....why watch it in the first place? Go watch....300. >.>

Anyways, if you're into cheer leading go watch it for fun sense and not for reality sense of cheer leading. If you're curious about the film, give it a shot. It's a chick flick, I warn you right now. It'll make you smile. If you don't care about the acting and just a fun person. GO GO GO! Everyone's got an opinion about something. I got mine ;)

I give this movie a 9 out of 10 (For me...not for you :D)

Oh and Cody Longo is HOT! Haha that's my two cents. Peace!

I hate to say it but there is nothing special about this movie .It doesn't even compare to the first movie which was good .the story line is pretty predictable.i can't say i didn't enjoy it.it does compare to the second and third movie of this series.i did expected more from this movie and i am not satisfied

But the main problem of this movie is underdevelopment of certain characters like 'SKY' but the acting wasn't bad

If you are in to cheer leading or want to see a cheerleader movie with good cheer leading action go for it and you will not be disappointed.This not a great movie but it is watchable And i give it a 4.5/10 rating

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.
