The film's depiction of cultural cribbing was informed past Bendinger'southward experiences every bit a white writer roofing hip hop artists at music mag Spin, a predominantly white publication.[7] [8] Said Bendinger: "Having seen white kids emulating hip hop moves at those [cheer] competitions, I idea, 'Well, what if.' I started asking what if questions...until I got to, what if the all-time team in the country had been stealing their routines? What if that squad they'd been stealing from finally came to show up and compete for their crown?"[7]
Bendinger's pitch was passed over 28 times earlier finding a habitation at Buoy Pictures.[7] [nine]
Marc Abraham and Thomas Bliss came on board to produce the film, as well as director Peyton Reed who had previously helmed two made-for-tv set films for Walt Disney.

James Franco and Jason Schwartzman both auditioned for the role of Cliff Pantone.[9] Marley Shelton was the first pick for the role of Torrance Shipman but she decided to star in the movie Sugar & Spice instead.[9]

A. O. Scott from The New York Times commended the picture for the power to "gesture toward serious matters of racial/economical inequality", every bit well equally for its "occasional snarl of genuine satire".[18] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times as well favored the film, calling it a "Smart and sassy loftier school movie fun for all ages."[19] In addition, Thomas commended the film for how information technology "subversively suggests that sometimes there are more than important values in life than winning", too as for its inclusion of a gay cheerleader character who is comfortable in his sexuality.[nineteen] Kim Morgan of The Oregonian dubbed the picture show the "newest, and probably get-go, cheerleading flick."[xvi] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post likewise gave a positive review, praising the moving-picture show'southward "tart, taut script past get-go-time screenwriter Jessica Bendinger" likewise as its depiction of teenagers.[20]
Nonetheless, some reviewers criticized the plot and tone of the picture show. Roger Ebert from the Chicago Lord's day-Times disliked how the picture's bowdlerizing of crude humor to avert an R rating resulted in a tonally inconsistent film. Ebert opined, "We get a strange mutant animal, half Nickelodeon movie, half R-rated comedy. It's like kids with potty-mouth playing grownup", and awarded the film two out of 4 stars.[21]
David Sterritt of The Christian Science Monitor praised the writing, though he also likened the storyline'south simplicity to "the average football cheer".[22] Vicky Edwards from the Chicago Tribune plant the motion-picture show "Absurdly unrealistic at times."[23] The Seattle Postal service-Intelligencer 'southward Paula Nechak concluded the moving picture was "predictable and surprisingly confusing in its ultimate bulletin."[24]
Many critics praised Kirsten Dunst's functioning. In his review, A. O. Scott called her "a terrific comic extra, largely because of her great expressive range, and the nimbleness with which she tin can shift from feet to aggression to 18-carat hurt."[eighteen] Charles Taylor of Salon notes "among gimmicky teenage actresses, Dunst is the sunniest imaginable parodist."[25] Jessica Winter from The Village Vocalisation shared this sentiment, commenting "[Dunst] provides the merely major chemical element of Bring Information technology On that plays as tweaking parody rather than slick, strident, trunk-slam churlishness."[26] Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle, despite giving the moving-picture show an unfavorable review, commended Dunst for her willingness "to be as silly and cloyingly amusing as it takes to become through a slapdash picture."[27]

Beatrice Hazlehurst of i-D wrote, "While its racial inclusion — particularly amid primary characters — already put the film far ahead of its fourth dimension, the dynamics of social strata woven throughout the tapestry of Bring Information technology On allow information technology to concur up so well 20 years later. By wrapping its arms narratively around 'not but people of colour, but queer kids and kids who might feel othered,' Bendinger says Bring It On offered the overlooked and ostracized the chance to run into themselves on screen."[5]
This was echoed past player Jesse Bradford who said, "[The pic] managed to shine a light on problems like cribbing and white fragility… in lite of recent history, Bring It On seems relevant correct now."[5]

Surging R&B grooves and churning lyrics suggest the fingerprints of Mr. Miranda ... the trip the light fantastic toe numbers for the Jackson oversupply kicking the musical into high-gear for most of the first human activity.... Like almost entertainments about the trials and triumphs of the teenage years, 'Bring Information technology On' has as much sap equally it does pep in its Dna, distinguished primarily past the electrifying dance routines and the elaborate cheer-squad performances."[39]
