Marni: You're the towel girl. It's an honor.
Janice: How is it an honor?
Marni: Well let's just say we're doing the pyramid, and we lift up Tina, and because there was no one to wipe off our sweaty palms, Tina slips and falls on her spinal chord and spends the rest of her life doing watercolors with her teeth. Do you want that to happen?
Janice: I guess not.
Marni: I didn't think so.

The moves are wilder, the romance is hotter
and the excitement is greater in this fabulous follow-up
to the acclaimed smash Bring It On which takes all the
spunk, sass and sexy fun of the original comedy hit to the
next level.
College newcomer Whittier tries out for and joins her new
college cheerleading squad to relive her high school days
as head cheerleader. But when she and her best friend
Monica are unable to stand being around the tyrannical and
snobbish squad captain, Tina, Whittier and Monica quit and
vow to form their own cheerleading squad made up of
college campus misfits and social outcasts for a
competition to see which squad will represent the college
for the national cheerleader championship.

Joie Lenz, you are the master. Years from now film
scholars will look upon your role of Marni in Bring It On
Again and see a star born. Playing the # 2 Evil Girl
henchwoman role, you shine in this dopey cheerleader
sequel to Bring it On.
The film may lack the fun brought out by the
original’s screenwriter Jessica Bendinger, and certainly
you would expect there to be a letdown with Anne Judson-Yager
and Faune Chambers taking over for Kirsten Dunst and
Gabrielle Union. But this straight to video picture truly
suffers behind the camera. BIOA’s Damon Santostefano is
no BIO’s Peyton Reed. Where Reed’s energetic, shiny
direction enhanced the cheering world, Santostefano is
apparently constrained with a much smaller budget that
necessitates shooting everything in close up in order to
obscure the lack of facilities and people in his shots.
The story for this 85-minute opus kicks in around the
45-minute mark, with freshman cheerleader Whittier
(Judson-Yager) buckling under dictatorial squad leader
Tina (Bree Turner). Splitting off from the varsity team,
Whittier and her pal Monica seek to assemble a ragtag band
of renegade cheerleaders to challenge for the right to go
to the National Cheerleading Competition. Where the
original moved with grace and speed, this sub-par
follow-up ambles and plods. Kudos, though, to the sound
editor for putting crows “ca-caw”ing behind Tina’s
metaphorical attempt to seduce Whittier. Not counting the
delicious turn by Ms. Joie (sometimes billed as Bethany
Joy) Lenz, it’s the best part of the movie.
