In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Despite some mild nods to identity issues, 'Bring It On' is mostly a straightforward, early-2000s sports comedy focused on competition and adolescent drama. Hardly what you’d call a ‘woke-fest’, this one sticks to the basics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While 'Bring It On' includes a subplot about the cultural appropriation of routines from a Black cheerleading squad, the narrative mainly focuses on cheerleading competition and personal growth. Characters are developed through skill, not just identity, and the plot doesn't undermine its own story for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like teamwork and ambition are front-and-center, with no significant effort to undermine family, faith, or masculinity. The film does not actively subvert cultural or gender norms, if anything, it plays straight with its genre's conventions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s some light critique of privilege and cultural borrowing, but alternative views (like hard work, competition, and rivalry) are well-represented. There's no overt villainization of traditional viewpoints.
