Well, we've found it: the one good reboot. In honor of Bring It On's 20th (gulp) anniversary on Aug. 25, Sarah Ramos, Laura Harrier, Meagan Holder, and Vanessa Chester acted out a famous confrontation from the iconic cheerleading movie. The gleefully nostalgic video went on to receive a stamp of approval from Gabrielle Union, who famously portrayed East Compton Clovers captain Isis. "Omggggg!!! Nailed it!!" Union wrote on Twitter, with approximately 72 different laughing emoji.

Brr ... it's cold in here! It's been 15 years since "Bring It On" hit the big screen in 2000 -- don't worry, we feel old too -- and we're celebrating the movie milestone by taking a look back at the film's cast to see what they've been up to for the last decade and a half. The flick told the story of two very different cheer squads -- the Toros from Rancho Carne High School and the East Compton Clovers -- who throw down after it's discovered one has been stealing routines from the other for years. As Torrance Shipman (Kirsten Dunst) tries to come up with some new and original routine for her squad, the Clovers (led by Gabrielle Union's Isis) plan to take the Toros out in the ultimate spirit showdown at Nationals. Since starring in the beloved flick, Kirsten went onto steal the screen in a number of...

On Friday were devastated to learn that rapper and Bring It On actress Natina Reed passed away in Georgia. The horrific news was made even more sad when we realized that it happened on the eve of former co-star Gabrielle Union’s birthday. So we’d like to send all sorts of good vibes and positive energy to her, as well as Reed’s loved ones and family.
When we told our friends that Gabrielle was turning 40th today, they all had the exact same reaction: “She’s 40!? Wait, that’s impossible!” The actress still brings it on with timeless looks and a killer bod that just gets better as the years go by. Seriously, the lady hasn’t aged a day since Clinton was in office! Obviously in our minds she’ll always be our 90s teen movie queen, with memorable parts in classics like She’s All That,...

Approaching its highly accomplished cheerleader characters like they are the lawyers of high school -- everybody hates 'em, right? -- "Bring It On" is irreverent and half-serious as it revels in the competitiveness and teenage dramatics of this world, where any squad with the guts and talent can compete to be national champions.
The feature debuts of director Peyton Reed and screenwriter Jessica Bendinger, Universal Pictures' often comical and mostly wholesome release is a back-to-school lark headed for a couple of spirited but hardly trophy-winning weekends at the boxoffice. Starring Kirsten Dunst ("The Virgin Suicides") and a fine cast that often is leaping and cartwheeling across the screen, "Bring" is ultimately a stealth recruiting film for the National Cheerleading Assn., and it will no doubt enthrall impressionable viewers.
Commencing with a fantasy crowd-taunting performed in an eerie setting, "Bring" is fairly successful at developing a "Clueless" kind of atmosphere. The well-cast Dunst is the energetic, ambitious Torrance Shipman, the newly appointed captain of a San Diego cheerleading squad. In a slight twist on the formula, the Rancho Carne High School cheerleaders she now leads have already won five straight national championships, while the football team is historically awful.
Along with shouldering the pressures of continuing the school legacy, Torrance takes newcomer and reluctantly perky gymnast-at-heart Missy (Eliza Dushku of the WB Network's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") under her pompom. Torrance also starts the usual roundabout romance with Missy's less-edgy brother Cliff (Jesse Bradford). The big conflict arises when Missy takes Torrance on an ego-flipping visit to a school in East Compton, where the mostly black cheerleading squad led by Isis (Gabrielle Union of "10 Things I Hate About You") performs the same elaborate routines that the San Diego cheerleaders believed had originated with their tyrannical former captain.
Torrance sets out to come up with new cheers for the upcoming national competition. She faces constant pressure from wannabe captains Courtney (Clare Kramer) and Whitney (Nicole Bilderback) as well as a couple of unfriendly encounters with the irked Isis. The subsequent full-out rivalry between the young women and their respective groups is bumpy.
It all ends justly in a flurry of "stunting" and "liberty heels," with the two best teams happy with the results. Meanwhile, the scenario works in some brief messages about teen tolerance of diversity -- the plight of male cheerleaders and gender politics, for example -- and flirts with racial tension. But there's no burning originality to anyone's personality or serious consequences for any of the naughty behavior that is mostly implied. There is something called "cheer sex," which must be what goes on at Los Angeles Lakers games and we never knew it until now, but it's nothing granny can't handle.
Dunst and Dushku are memorable buddy gals in what momentarily flirts with a "Cheerleader, Interrupted" rift but ultimately goes the way of all team competition flicks. Sports -- or in this case art-athletics -- brings people together, you know. Union is forcefully charismatic and eye-snaring, while her feisty backup includes three members of the music group Blaque (Natina Reed, Shamari Fears, Brandi Williams).
