August 30, 2000 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 13 Psycho-Perky Cheerleaders "Bring It On" By Jenni Battels Asst. Features Editor Ever the skeptic, I was not planning on enjoying a fluffy pom pom flick. Squeaky pubescent little girls with an incessant need to scream everything and boys with a hardcore desire to see something in a short skirt, surrounded my roommate and me as we took our seats. It was not looking good. However, I shamed myself by getting into this "Rocky"-esque cheerleader film. It was well written, light- hearted, and funny. The character development was no surprise of course; you've go your big-breasted bubbleheads. one worldly "bad girl", and of course, the sweet and innocent head cheerleader (Kirsten Dunst of "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "Little Women"). The male cheerleaders fill out their stereotypes as well, being either gay or incredibly horny (i.e. guess where HIS thumb is). Unfortunately, some of the actors in this film were missing something...I think it's called talent. I don't know what happened to Dunst, but I think she may need a break after over 20 films and 10 television appearances in the Faith on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer") lit the screen up with her performance, smile, and gymnastics (she didn't even have a stunt double for that stuff!). The basic premise of the film is as follows: Torrence (Dunst) has just been last few years. Fortunately, a spark named Eliza Dushku (you may remember her as awarded the sought after position of captain on her school's nationally recognized cheerleading squad. She M&ta&c&fied,: &a* CnteUalnment 3iuip,a&e6, duly, CL*ie& £auui& Qetnini Your strong per- H sonality and J/F stubbornness will get you what you want this week; just remember not all toes ¥Your resistance to change may lead to some ■————' domestic difficulties this week. Keep in mind that compromise can need to be stepped on. be a good thing. Your confidence is off the Richter scale this week, and f°r good reason. You've been pursuing something at great length and the payoff is at hand. Ilita* ®Your practicality had always served you well in the past, but some may find it overbearing. Keep in mind that your expectations cannot always be met and that a middle ground can be easily found. ®Your tendency towards trying new things will -———-—* serve you well this week, but remember not to put too much on your plate; you may find yourself letting some people down as a result of forget- fulness. You may find your balance to be a little off this week, as you've been met with some unusual news. Don't fret; it will be easy to bounce back with your adept communication skills. &aaita*iu& eap*ic**a OquauuA As the philosopher of the Zodiac, you constantly seek the "wh-y" in life. Let your brain coast a bit this week and maybe the answers will find you. *) As an earth sign, your strongest and weakest point is your ability to stay grounded. This week it will serve you well, as you adjust to your new schedule. Keep in mind however, you may want to just let go once or twice. Yourquirkiness and independence will open doors to new friendships and possibly a budding romance. Your ability to keep people interested is a strong asset; just remember to share the spotlight. Canoe* Ever the caring nurturer, you may find yourself dealing with everyone's problems but your own. This kind of escapism will only work for so long before your own problems come to a head. Scatpia Your keen ability to sell ideas will work as a means to a positive end this week, but keep in mind that coercion is not always the best way to get what you want. JtiAcea. Your sensitivity and complacency may make you easy to live with, but remember not to go with the flow TOO often. Separate yourself as a distinct entity and keep in mind that letting people walk on you doesn't earn respect. J comes to find however, that the retired captain stole all their award-winning cheers from an inner-city school in L.A. Oops. This leaves our poor peppy girl with a problem—they need new cheers ASAP. So, what would any i otner normai high school M I girls in California do? Hire JLWm someone to choreograph M I their moves, of course. ^**^m Enter the weasel of a choreographer with an obsession for "spirit fingers". This, naturally flops, so another course of action must be taken. After fighting with the ditzes on her squad, and recruiting bad ass Missy Pantone (Dushku), Torrence manages to get it together and they're finally ready to "bring it on". The opposing squad, the Clovers, is peppered with familiar faces. The R & B pop group Blaque (also featured on the soundtrack) helps head up the Clovers' squad, while their captain is played by Gabrielle Union (" 10 Things I Hate About You", "Love And Basketball"). And they don't plan on taking any crap from no- talent white girls. They are in it to redeem themselves and win the nationals. The love story subplot was sweet, as Torrence has "cheer sex" with Missy's brother, Cliff (Jesse Bradford of "Romeo And Juliet" and "Hackers"). Conflict? Of course. Torrence's boyfriend and former cheerleader (closet homosexual?) has gone off to college and offers no moral support to his beloved. Teenage angst ensues, as Torrence is torn between loyalty to a jerk, and a kindling romance with Mr. Right. The tail end of the movie is definitely the best part, as Torrence takes her squad of Toros to do battle with the Clovers of the inner-city school at the national competition. The stunts are definitely impressive and should prepare you for all that gymnastics junk the Summer Olympics has in store. So, here's the deal: It's a good fluff flick, a la "Clueless" and doesn't require much thought. It's quirky, stupid, and entertaining, as it gently pokes fun at the art of pom pom. As the spastic choreographer in the flick puts it: "Cheerleaders are dancers... gone retarded." Dunst disappoints, but Dushku picks up the slack. Bradford is VERY easy on the eyes and will undoubtedly be on an upcoming issue of 'Teen magazine. Overall, I have to say the whole experience didn't completely suck, and "Bring It On" was a fun and funny movie to watch. I wouldn't advise spending $6.50 on a ticket, but I would definitely look into renting in when it comes out. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
