My Thoughts

Bring it on comes back for another competition in Bring it On Worldwide #Cheersmack. This time around, the girls compete in a worldwide competition to see who's best on the cheer-leading field. The film centers around Cheer Goddess. She's been an internet sensation for years. Then there is Destiny, a three time champion who gets challenged to go global. Cheer Goddess decides to take things a step further and make the competition open worldwide. Soon the best squads in the world are competing for the honor of being the best.

My teen daughter loved the original Bring it On when she was a kid, and now she had a blast watching this newest addition with her little sister. As always, the film showcases some amazing talent. We always enjoy the amazing moves in the cheer routines. And, of course, the show isn't all about competition. Kids will also learn about teamwork and the value of loyal friends. If you're a fan of the franchise, you will definitely enjoy #Cheersmack. It's a worthy addition to the series and a great choice for family movie night.
