Bring It On: All or Nothing

Watching Bring it on All or Nothing brings back many memories from the beginning of the series!
(Solange Knowles-Smith) as Camile, in center
 Starring Hayden Pannetiere and Solange Knowles as the starring characters! The movie was filled with laughter, drama, and competition between the Pacific Vista's and the Crenshaw Warrior's! During the balcony scene with Britney (Pannetiere) and Jesse (Gus Carr) "cheermance" was not all together. Carr's acting seemed a bit too rehearsed and unconvincing. It made me hurt to watch as he talked to Pannetiere about his grandparents and trying to Incorporated slang and street talk toward his life. I know it was insinuated that he came from the streets, but his interpretation of it did did not flow with his part. Other parts of the movie were very entertaining and I would have rated it a B+.  However, when Pannetiere moves to Crenshaw Heights and enters her English class, I could never grasp the fact that the classroom had pictures of many different African American Icons, history date, and notes on the board pertaining to the amendments! I don't  know what type of English it was, but it would have convinced me more to have a little more Literature and English \Composition things versus history events displayed on the wall. lol Overall,  it was a phenomenal piece! What the heck, they should have picked me for the movie!
