4-0 out of 5 stars Campy fun
Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love the original Bring It On and have seen it so many times that I can recite the entire script along with the actors. Seeing as how I enjoyed the first film so much, I expected this to be nowhere near as much fun. I was wrong.

Bring It On Again (the title alone screams "direct-to-video B-movie sequel") is delightfully campy fun. The story isn't a direct rip-off of the original, like many DTV sequels are (see: Cruel Intentions 2) and actually had a fairly strong plot. Whittier Smith, a freshman in college who was a star high school cheerleader, trys out for the Stingers squad, the 7-time collegiate national champions. She and her best friend Monica make the squad and are soon getting themselves into trouble with the snotty head cheerleader, Tina (played excellently by Bree Turner). Soon enough Whittier and Monica get fed up with Tina and her drill seargant-like ways, so they quit and decide to form their own squad to compete at nationals. They assemble a squad of actors and interpretive dancers, who have nothing better to do since their clubs have been shut down. In a matter of weeks, Whittier must shape up her team for a competition in front of the school to decide which squad has the better moves.

In addition to the main cheerleading storyline, there's also a romantic interest for Whittier. That story fell flat, in my opinion, but thankfully it doesn't occupy much of the film.

Some may say the ending is predictable, but knowing how the original Bring It On ended, I was actually not completely sure until the winner of the competition was revealed. The cheer sequences are stunning and wonderful, although not entirely plausible given the timeframe of the film. Still, it's entertaining enough.

The acting in the film is better than is to be expected. Bree Turner was wonderful as Tina; she really nailed the role. Other great performances were turned out by Bryce Johnson and Joie Lenz (those two had wonderfully catty chemistry), and Dennis Hemphill, who was hilarious as a high-on-himself actor-turned-cheerleader.

In addition to the movie, there are a few special features tacked on to the DVD. They include some deleted and alternate scenes (most are throwaways and it's easy to see why they were cut), a trailer for the film, a "cheer along" that allows you to see the words to the opening cheer from the first Bring It On, the making of Bring It On Again featurette (following the film from casting to filming - pretty decent), "fun facts" to go along with a music video, and Tony G.'s cheer "dos and don'ts" which are basic rules for cheerleading as given by the film's choreographer. Nothing too exciting there, but we're given more than most DTV movies.

Overall, Bring It On Again was a fun experience. It has just the right combination of comedy, romance, and dance action to keep you entertained for the hour and a half that it's on your screen.

4-0 out of 5 stars Bring this on, it's all good to me!!
I'm surprised at the reviews of this. I thought it was going to end up being really horrible. So I rented it and put up 2.75 hoping they would be wrong. I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed this movie. I could see some similarities between this one and the first one. In the sequel, a girl name Whittier gets fed up with the squad she's in and decides to make her own, which in the end, ends up outcheering the varsity squad to go on. The ending is the best part. That's where all the good cheerleading moves are made. I do think the first one was better, but this one was watchable. I was also pleased to find a section full of DVD extras (A lot of DVD's have been skimpy in this section lately) They include a behind the scenes, a music video that contains little bubbles with facts about the movie (think pop-up video), the dos and don'ts of cheerleading with the movie's choreographer, a sing-along with the original cast of Bring It On, a trailer, and deleted/alternate scenes. I would definitely recommend renting this and possibly even purchasing it. I hope they release a third.

1-0 out of 5 stars Awful sequel
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I was surprised by how much I loved and still love the first Bring it On, now that was a funny movie with a great cast (Eliza Dushku, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Bradford, Clare Kramer). I really want to help people out by warning them how truly terrible the sequel is. The dialogue is awful, nothing about this movie made me laugh. The mean blonde girl in the movie is so annoying I can't stand to look at her. I didn't even like the girl we were supposed to be rooting for. There was no chemistry with her "love interest", that storyline seemed thrown in just to mirror the first movie. None of the acting was good, all of the actors were probably either embarrassed to be in this movie or unknowns hoping this would be their chance on camara. The plot is not only dull but completely unrealistic, they take a bunch of college kids that have never had dance training and in a couple of weeks they're professional dancers who can do backflips and handstands. Yeah, right. The dance-off at the very end might of been good but I was about ready to throw something through my tv at that point so I can't really comment on it.

The first "Bring It On" film took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to like it at all. Who knew that a story about dueling high school cheerleading squads would be any good? Since the first film made some cash, a sequel was made for the direct to home video market, hoping to recapture any success. To say "Bring It On Again" misses the mark might be harsh, but unfortunately, is not at all inaccurate.

This time, the competing teams are in college. In fact, the teams are from same school. The senior varsity sqaud faces off against a group of talented young freshman, who are forced to start their own squad. and go up against the snoots This a fight to represent the university in the national competition.

Directed by Damon Santostefano, he tries to recapture the spirit of the first film by populating it with perky, good looking, young actors. It's not enough though. While the film is great to look at, and the cast is adequate given the material, the story is basically the same. None of the charaters from the first film are here and it's hard to root for anyone. Just a pale imitation of characters we have already met. The fun factor has faded.

Given all of my observations about the film, I wasn't expecting much from the extras--if there were any at all, that is. All of the bonus material is meant to prop up the main feature and that's all. The alternate opening, deleted and alternate scenes, Cheer Dos & Don'ts, the fun fact trivia track, the on the set featurette, and Cheer-along mirror those extras on the original disc. Sadly they are not as much fun.

Bring It On Again is a sequel the world probably could have done without. Watch the original...

1-0 out of 5 stars C-level movie
I thought about buying this movie for my sister, who loved the original "Bring It On". But before I bought, I decided to rent the movie for myself and see if it was any good. Wow was I dissapointed. The plot is almost identical to the original "Bring It On" but characters portrayed less fully and the cinematic quality much lower. My roomate and I fast-forwarded through the slow and painful dialogue to the cheer scenes, but poor film quality hurt the impact of amazing choreography in the cheer sequences. My favorite part of the movie was the cheer-along to the opening clip of the first movie...which I watched twice to rid my mind of second movie. If you liked the first "Bring It On", rent this movie first...hopefully you won't regret the loss of 3 bucks. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Why so few?
I've enjoyed pete and pete and artie and ellen for years. So few shows on television have humor, thought and style. Why don't they release more videos? Do they not want our money? I have Classic Petes and Farewell, My Little Viking and they shine with surreal light and great storytelling. I hear there's a third video somewhere. There should be more, many more.

5-0 out of 5 stars Demand the release of more Pete & Pete videos
This wonderful show is great for all ages. Well rounded plots with quirky dark comedy. Why is no one producing these videos for sale? I would gladly pay $25 for a 3 episode tape. How about reruns? Anything!

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Series
THis was a great classic show, I just hate the fact that sleazebags here are expecting you to pay $75 for one video.

5-0 out of 5 stars pete and pete should be on DVD!!!!
I want my pete and pete to be complete! I wish they would release all these fantastic shows on a better format that is more widely available. Pete and Pete was pure genious and should not be forgotton!!!

Rock on Pete and Pete!

5-0 out of 5 stars Pete and Pete and Teddy
The best people in Pete and Pete are Endless Mike, Teddy,Big Pete and Artie the Strongest Man in the World!!!! I agree that they should sell a box set of the whole series. And just to let everyone know, the show comes on the "Noggin" channel. I watch it everyday and love it. It's excellentay!!!! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars BORING?!?!
okay, that guy was stupid, anyone who ever was cultured in the ways of nick shows growing up has GOT to have loved PETE & PETE. i personally thought that this was the best show to ever come out of that network. other than ren and stimpy and rockos modern life. but pete and pete was always there for me, as was the others. and for someone to down grade it is a total bummer. they have no sense of humor and should get back to teaching their 4th grade class and prune juice smoothies. not to mention burning in hell.

5-0 out of 5 stars Irate Pete and Pete fan
How could anyone give this classic show a 1-star rating? Sir, people like you should not be allowed to speak in public, or anywhere for that matter. Oh, and the video is really funny. Buy it, now.

1-0 out of 5 stars Boring
"The Adventres of Pete and Pete" is boring including that it has to do with two brothers having the same name and a stupid tattoo. I give this * (1 out of 5).

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Entertainment for Everyone
The clever and highly original spelling of the title ("daze" instead of "days") gives the viewer a clue as to the sort of lighthearted tomfoolery and hilarious pranks which are to be seen in this marvelous compilation of episodes from one of Nickelodeon's greatest programs ever. The witty, engaging young Danny Tamberelli portrays "Little Pete", one of the most memorable characters in the annals of show business; the humorous antics of this merry little madcap will delight every viewer. He has, of course, since gone on to even greater fame and artistic achievement, having become a major part of the cast of "All That", another great Nickelodeon series. The role of "Big Pete" was played by Michael C. Maronna, a gifted actor who would later gain wide recognition and praise by starring in a series of wonderfully entertaining commercials. The rest of the cast was just as talented, particularly the lovely and charming Syd Straw, and the distinguished Toby Huss. This wonderful series is sure to please everyone, so it is probably a good idea to purchase at least two or three copies of each video. This is undoubtedly the greatest comedy series in the history of the world, and promises a rollicking good time for every viewer. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Romance with a Twist
Architect, Oscar Novak (Matthew Perry) and his business partner, Peter Steinberg (Oliver Platt) are desperate to secure a high profile job working for tycoon, Charles Newman.

Newman is married and also has a mistress, who's an artist, called, Amy Post (Neve Campbell).

Due to a misconception early on, Newman thinks Oscar and Peter are partners in more than just the business sense and so, gets Oscar to spy on his mistress when he's not around as he jealously thinks that she may go off with another man.

Trying to keep Newman happy, Oscar agrees then meets Amy and falls for her.

Naturally, it comes out that they think he's gay and in order not to lose the possibility of the job, Oscar finds he has to play along.

One of the great and funny things about the film is just how much his ruse escalates totally out of control until finally his friends of several years and even his parents believe he really is gay.

Matthew Perry is excellent in this role which also gives him the opportunity to play it 'real' where, personally, I think he's at his best. Very few actors get to me like he does when he's portraying hurt and inner struggle - really pulls on the heartstrings. Fantastic acting.

Neve Campbell as Amy was lively and fun and it's easy to see why Oscar would fall for her.

The moment when Amy is about to kiss Oscar and then realises what she's doing and their following fight over Newman is one of the best in the film for both actors.

You can really see the turmoil they're both having - she because she's falling for what she thinks is a 'gay' guy and he because he hates seeing her with Newman but can't tell her of his true feelings due to his loyalty to his friend, Steinberg who will go bankrupt if they lose the job.

All in all a warm and touching film that is extremely funny in places. One to watch again and again.

4-0 out of 5 stars This Is a good Tango
All right Critics listen here THIS IS NOT A BAD MOVIE. What this movie is about is an architect(Perry) who tries to get the job for a rich business man played my Dylan Mcdermott after a misunderstanding he thinks that Perry is gay. So he enlists him to watch over his girlfriend played by the always cute Neve campbell. I don't know why this movie was blasted by just about every critic. Because it is a rather good romantic comedy. Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell are both good looking so they look cute. They have a courtship that is genuinelly funny and touching in which you hope that they will end up together which i was hoping because they were so good together. A very funny movie that had me laughing the entire time through. I can't wait when this comes out on video. Even Perry&Campbell tango across the finish line was good results. Againg this is one Tango that is worth watching.

3-0 out of 5 stars Social satire about homosexuality
Synopsis:
Oscar Novak (Matthew Perry) is an up and coming architect, bidding with his partner (Oliver Platt) for a project to renovate a classic Chicago landmark. Business Tycoon Charles Newmann (Dylan McDermott), the man seeking the bids, mistakenly comes to believe that Oscar is gay and asks him to babysit his mistress (Neve Campbell) for him. With his business on the line, he agrees to do it, but even in agreeing, he must now pretend to prefer a sexual preference that he does not. Things go from bad to worse when he falls for the tycoon's Mistress.

About the Movie:
This is not a film for social conservatives. With homosexuality having become one of the major hot topics in America, this film proves how a movie can have as much a social agenda as a church can..

One interesting thing to point out about this film is how it uses Mathew Perry's character Oscar Novak to mirror the plight of closeted homosexuals. The Amazon Editorial Review (by Mark Engleheart) completely missed the point of the movie in saying that Novak's supposed gayness is treated simply as "an oppressive burden."

Social standing, job security and even friendships hang in the balance because of Novak's supposed sexual orientation. The film's point is that this is a burden that many homosexuals feel they have to deal with. In a sense Novak is now forced to deal with the same issues that gays deal with by having to "be in the closet" about being straight. If anything, the movie advocates openness and tolerance, something Novak learns about first hand. It's the classic, "walking in another man's shoes" satire.

Ultimately, Three to Tango is a film that pretends to be a romantic comedy but is really a obvious endeavor to promote an image of homosexuality as "normal" through genuinely humorous satire. In an era of political correctness, this is the ultimate film for it. It presents a perfect politically correct image of homosexuality, even going so far as to make it seem like the ideal to strive for. Homosexuals are the good guys, sensitive, understanding, and open, while straight men are losers, who cheat on their wives and are emotionally detached and insensitive.

Three to Tango does it job very well, playing on the audience's emotional output, and challenging their conventions with uneasy situations (as many movies do) to get the audience to agree with the premise.

Matthew Perry's character gets into his situation and gains his love interest precisely because he fits the stereotypical homosexual image (the one of the sensitive well-dressed male without the lisp and limp wrist). The movie seems to say that the homosexual image is the one to strive for, because Perry, a straight man fits it so perfectly and finds happiness with a beautiful woman in the end as a result.

Meanwhile, the quasi bad guy, Dylan McDermott's character, Charles Newmann, is a caricature of a straight man, insensitive, an adulterer, a manly man, who's possessive, jealous, selfish and vindictive. He's over the top and unlikable, precisely because he was written to be that way. McDermott plays the role to the T, which provides a perfect counterpoint to the film's overall portrayal of the straight/gay issue.

The end statement is that sexual orientation should not be the issue, it should be your feelings and who you are.

In all honesty, it's hard not to like this film at least on some level, even if you don't agree with the message that it is preaching. Matthew Perry is an expert at filling out the role of a bewildered man thrown into unexpected and peculiar situations with both humor and sensitivity. He's a wonderful and charming comic actor, and it shows. Neve Campbell is cute as his co-star, and there are a lot of comic moments that are laugh out loud funny.

Of course, a lot of the humor comes directly from Oscar being put in the position of a straight man dealing with being thought of as gay, with some of the humor being overtly sexual in nature. People who disagree with the homosexual lifestyle will understandably dislike this film, because it is openly pro-gay and presents the issue in an extremely one-sided manner.

About the DVD:
Three to Tango comes in a cardboard snap case on a double-sided DVD with both fullscreen and Widescreen versions of the film in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. The image and sound are pretty good for a budget DVD, with only a little film grain or artifacts. The movie is translated into French and has English and French subtitles. One wonders when the big studios will figure out that Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language on the North American continent.

As far as special features, this one has what appears to be something that is becoming standard on Warner Brothers budget DVD releases. They include the theatrical trailer for the film and a series of textual production notes that provide background on the movie. They're interesting to read, but not much as far as special features go. This release even skimps on the actor bios that usually provided with most budget releases.

Bottom Line:
A comedic film with a clear social message to provide to its audience that will undoubtedly turn away some because of it. A decent (depending on social views) movie on a standard DVD release. 3 stars.

5-0 out of 5 stars Defense against Editorial Review...
The editorial review of this movie mentioned that the film was lessened by the reaction to the situation of Matthew Perry's character having to pretend to be gay. The writer suggested that the issue of his mistaken homosexuality was treated as a 'burden'. This movie never implied anything negative about homosexuality. If anything, the opposite is most certainly true. The situation was difficult because Perry was pretending to be something he wasn't. That was the point, to express from a straight person's point of view what gays go through every day of their lives. The overlying theme of this movie is that everyone has a right to be proud of who they are.

5-0 out of 5 stars What can I say?
This movie has 'Matthew Perry vehicle' written all over it (which is not a bad thing--I like Matthew Perry). Thank goodness someone had the foresight to include talented Canadian beauty Neve Campbell, (obviously) one of my favorite actors, on the vehicle. She TOTALLY carries the movie wherever Perry fails to make the cut. Perry and Campbell have WONDERFUL chemistry. There are a few surprises in this movie that definitely make it unique. I have to say, though, that I could have completely done without the interplay between Campbell's character and her married lover. Fortunately, that didn't compromise the charm of this tasty romantic tale, which has become one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies. I definitely recommend making a copy of this your own. ...

Wow, this flick is awesome. Lots of scarry stuff. Who would of thunk it. Elki summers, Garret Morris, and more. Wow I remember seeing this film at a screening when it was still called "Army" for it was an army of arms! It's so much better now. The cast of Mad about you must have been impressed by "Billy's" leap to the big screen. I still have nightmares about this film.

5-0 out of 5 stars Superb Entertainment
This series is the greatest cultural phenomenon of all time. The premise is absolutely brilliant; two brothers have the same first name, the younger one has a tattoo and wears a plaid hunting cap (how utterly cool)! He also frequently addresses others as "blowhole", a charming habit, to be sure. The cast is brilliant, particularly Toby Huss and Syd Straw, who are legends in the world of show business, as exemplified by their continuing popularity throughout the world. Of course, the brilliance of Polaris, the world's greatest band, helps to make this a marvelous addition to the world of culture.

5-0 out of 5 stars Magnificent
Throughout its long and successful run on Nickelodeon, "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" boasted perhaps the finest aggregation of talent ever assembled in one cast. Leading the way, of course, was the amazing Danny Tamberelli, probably the most gifted comic actor of all time. A great show became even better when the fabulous Michelle Trachtenberg was added to the cast. This captivating young lady, undoubtedly the most talented child actor since Shirley Temple, added great charm to an already marvelous series.

Despite the much-lamented departure of distinguished actor Toby Huss from the cast, the series was strong enough to withstand the blow, and go on to even greater artistic triumphs. With the marvelous scripts, thrilling plot devices, and the genius-inspired music of Polaris, this show surpasses every other program in the history of TV comedy. Everyone should own at least two copies of this video. This wonderful show should be required viewing for everybody.
