Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

People are voting emotionally.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Why is it that so many movie companies, insist on producing so many DTV sequels now a days?. Bring It on Again is a prime example of why people detest DTV movies. It's lazy,it's amateurish,not only that there is not one character you can root for in the film. I was in the video store the other day and figured on renting it,since I'd just finished the 1st,but something told me not to waste my precious money,and just view it online instead. I made the right decision,Bring It On Again wasn't worthy of my money at all. This was clearly a movie to cash in on the success of the original,only they replaced a likable cast,with a bunch of whiny snobs,who couldn't act there way out of a paper bag!. The 1st one was far from a classic,but at least it had a sense of energy and a hint of likability,this Dosen't have any of those traits. Anne Judson-Yager|Whittier| is supposed to be our heroine,our darling so to speak,yet she's almost as whiny and disposable as Tina and Marni,so how on earth is a sequel gonna work like this,when there is no one to root for?. What's even worse is this turkey produced 3 more unrelated sequels,that nobody really wanted. The Cheerleading sequences are average at best,except for one excellent one at the very end,I will admit that was very well done.Bring It On Again is a reason why I detest DTV Sequels,or even sequels in general. It's got no heart,no creativity,and most importantly it's downright dull.Performances. Anne Judson-Yager. I read a review that said Anne looked like a poor woman's Reese Witherspoon,to be honest? That fits her perfectly. She can't act worth a lick,she's very unsympathetic,whiny and was almost as bad as the villainous. Bree Turner gives a typical B*tch performance. It was adequate I suppose. Bethany Joy Galeotti known for her One Tree Hill fame,certainly didn't show any of that here,I wanted to slap her one. Faune A. Chambers plays the best friend adequately,she was less annoying then Yager at least.Bottom Line. Bring It On Again is a waste of film. I had to go through 80 minutes of torture to get one decent cheerleading sequence,let me tell you it isn't worth it my friends. I would advise you to avoid this sequel,unless your a die hard cheerleader fan. Now I just have 3 more sequels to go!,Uggh.3/10

It's hard to believe that any movie industry professionals were actually associated with straight-to-video production "Bring It On Again" (2004). Although a sequel, it is more like a really painful blend of "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Cadet Kelly". Despite the warnings I actually watched my soon to be re-gifted DVD. Anne Judson-Yager (who looks like Reese Witherspoon plus 30 pounds) plays new college freshman and aspiring cheerleader Whittier Smith. She and her friend Monica (Faune A. Chambers) pass the audition and come under the scrutiny of sadistic head cheerleader Tina Hammersmith (Bree Turner). They soon tire of life under Tina and form a rival cheerleading squad of fine arts students and campus radicals. Despite a host of available movie stereotypes the screenwriter can't seem to figure out how to portray this crowd and you actually feel embarrassed for the actors who must deal with these portions of her script. Production design, style, and unity are apparently unknown elements to director Damon Santostefano (unsuccessfully seeking work since making this movie) and the whole thing seems randomly thrown together. It must have been an assembly nightmare for the editor, who may or may not share some of the blame- it's hard to tell.I'm at somewhat of a loss as to the target demographic for "Bring It On Again". These things tend to be pitched to producers for their sexploitation potential. And in this case they could at least count on a pre-sold sexploitation audience of original "Bring It On" fans. But the only tie with the original is the subject of cheerleading and those looking for sexploitation elements will be disappointed. My guess is that the target audience is actually preteen girls. The script is certainly on that age and sophistication level. The male members of the cast appear to have been selected for their looks (certainly not their acting skills) while the female members are a dreary looking bunch (although their limited acting skills are well-matched with those of the male cast). When your leading lady looks like Judson-Yager and your only really pretty actress is cast as the cheer squad's towel girl; alarm bells should start sounding for those outside this target demographic. I bet the producers wish that they had heard those bells and monitored this project a little closer.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

The screenplay is brilliantly written and the film has a strong cast. Bree Turner makes up in looks for what she lacks in acting experience. The whole thing holds together well with lots of subtle humour and touches of satire here and there. The writing is warm and light hearted and, whilst centred on the intense rivalry between the existing school team and a new school team of misfits, it manages to poke fun at the world of cheer leading the same time as it's glorifying it. The film has one problem however - it's title. Most reviews compare this to the original and would like a continuation with the original cast. This film bears no relation to the original other than being about cheer leading. In its own right this has a lot going for it and I have given it 10/10 as I think that it has been very much underrated.

I didn't expect much from Bring It On Again. In fact, I only watched it because I was under the impression that Jaime Pressly was in it, which was not the case (OK, so I confused Bring It On Again with Not Another Teen Movie - can you blame me?). But I kept watching, despite the "poor man's Reese Witherspoon" in the lead. And lo and behold, the movie is actually nowhere near as bad as people here have been claiming. It is more of a comedy than the first movie, and there is one big thing that ties it together with the first movie, which I think most people have overlooked: Both movies are saying that cheer-leading is NOT COOL. Both movies are going out of their way to show that cheer-leading is as shallow as anything can be, and clearly pointing to a dozen other things that are far cooler, but which happen not to be the focus of this particular comedy. That's actually pretty funny. These movies are not as empty-headed as they first seem.The lead girl in the sequel first struck me as very boring in a "girl next door" type of way, but I have to admit she grew into the part very well and achieved the confidence of character to come across as a convincingly cool cheerleader (in the comedy setting, I mean) towards the end. Ultimately, she was an actress rather than just a pretty face, and that is to be commended, considering that this was a mere straight-to-video release. Somebody in the production team actually had the ambition to create a quite serious, well-written, well-structured piece of work - and they succeeded.I rated the first movie a 7, and this one, surprisingly, qualifies for as much as a 6, despite the ludicrous end performance (apparently comprised by an almost entirely new team). It was fun. Quite an achievement, all things considered.
