I mean, it totally defies the calculus of these sorts of movies: you've got the rich, priveleged upper class school who have always won by stealing from the inner-city school who could never afford to compete before. Any exec would tell you, the movie is supposed to be about the underdog, non-cheating inner city school, not the rich bunch of cheaters, especially since the rich cheaters don't even win in the end. But, hey, it's those rich cheating snobs who you're following and rooting for. This seemingly formulaic cheerleader movie is actually a little gem of unexpected surprises. So, thanks, apparently I have to see Stick It now. Funny you should mention Stick It, I’ve been praising the structure/story of Bring It On since it came out.

She's good. She has this very confident cool writing style. Kind of hypnotic and at times extremely smooth. Love it. Anyone else applying to “The Seven Rays Script-a-Scene Adaptation Competition”? Her writing, indeed a breath of fresh air. Cheers, Hey Unk,

It was, essentially, a watered-down "Bring It On" with a less likable lead (and I hate Kirsten Dunst). I can agree that it was a by-the-numbers script, but it lacked charm. Nothing special at the end of the day. I found “Stick It” to be rather underwhelming. It was, essentially, a watered-down “Bring It On” with a less likable lead (and I hate Kirsten Dunst).

J\K. I liked that it had two males who weren't after the protag. More of us should have female BFFs. It did have the funniest "picture them trying to do what we do." I guess it should have been marketed more for the camaraderie. That was the best part. Rather than the usual big "contest at the end" she pulled a nice twist on the theme. UNK,

But that's just me. In regards to the comp, though, unless you're planning to pick a scene from the first chapter, you have to buy the book. And I don't use Final Draft, so while I could use the demo for the purposes of the comp, it's probably just better to buy it anyway. Just money out of pocket. And all this for a consultation...I was underwhelmed. I didn’t care for it or several other of her movies. But that’s just me.

I'd never heard of it and I expected to flip the channel fairly soon but before I knew it, I was all caught up in it. I'd love to read the script. Never thought about that but you're right. The structure is nothing if not amazing. I might even check out the competition. Saw Stick It on cable a year or so ago.

Thanks! Watched it here in Los Angeles to a packed house. Buying the DVD when it hits the streets. I watched Stick It a few years back on DVD and fell in love with it! I even bought copies for my little sister and niece and they love it too. Jessica tapped into their essence with that film. The visuals were dazzling too. My little sister actually got into gymnastics because of that movie. Only one problem. I don't have Final Draft. Vickie First of all Unk, loved Boondock Saints 2. Thanks!
