Which of these Bring It On quotes is your favorite?
The film may have made a ton of money, and amassed a giant fanbase, but the critics were not so sure about the movie.
The film was able to maintain a PG-13 rating, despite pushing the ‘sex aspects of cheerleading’ as far as they could.
Roger Ebert used the film to point out a trend of films at the time.
He argued that producers and other film professionals were dumbing down their material to avoid an R rating and increase the movie’s profits.
This film is more authentic than you might think too!
Actors were expected to have a cheer prepared before coming to audition for the film.
The powers that be didn’t want to use stunt doubles so the actors who ultimately got the part were required to participate in a four-week cheerleading camp.
Taking it even a step further, director Peyton Reed and editor Larry Bock watched cheerleading films from the 1970s.
Did this authenticity carry through to viewers of the film?
