BRING IT ON: Fight to the Finish

—also in "All Star" DVD 3-Pack Collection)

With a fresh new cast, hot new moves and incredible chart-topping music!

Universal City, CA — The all-new installment of the global hit cheerleading franchise, Bring It On: Fight to the Finish has arrived exclusively to Blu-ray™ Hi-Def and DVD (Sept 1) from Universal Studios Home Entertainment Family Productions and Beacon Communications.

Showcasing daring athletics, fierce competition and hot young stars, including Grammy®-nominated recording star and actress Christina Milian, Bring It On: Fight to the Finish sets the bar higher than ever with the story of an East Los Angeles teen who reinvigorates a lackluster Malibu cheer squad with her scorching Latina style.

For the first time, the signature acrobatic moves that have won the Bring It On films worldwide acclaim will be presented in pristine high definition. And, with Blu-ray Hi-Def's pure digital sound, fans can enjoy the film's music from Lady GaGa, Christina Milian, Kat DeLuna and The Veronicas.

In the director's chair is Bille Woodruff, one of the industry's most sought after film and music video directors. Having directed Beauty Shop with Queen Latifah and Honey starring Jessica Alba, as well as music videos for artists including Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias, Prima J, Paula Deanda, Lil Wayne and Usher, Woodruff brings a fresh perspective to the franchise. Tony Gonzalez, choreographer of Bring It On: All or Nothing and Bring It On: In It to Win It returns as associate producer and choreographer to create the franchise's most astounding dance sequences yet.

A thrilling combination of high energy fun, rivalry and heartwarming romance have made the Bring It On franchise a runaway hit in home entertainment, racking up sales of almost 12 million units in North America alone, representing nearly $300 million in consumer spending. The series continues to be a marquee property in Universal's DVD Originals line of high-quality feature films created especially for the growing made-for-DVD market. Since their introduction in 2005, Universal DVD Originals have been an unprecedented success, responsible for four of the top five best-selling live-action, non-family DVD premieres of all time, including Bring It On Again and Bring It On: All or Nothing.

Christina Milian, who was recently seen in the film The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, opposite Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey, leads a talented squad of newcomers in Bring It On: Fight to the Finish. In addition to Milian, the film stars Rachele Brooke Smith (Center Stage), Cody Longo (Fame, High School), Holland Roden ("Cold Case," "Lost"), Nikki SooHoo (Stick It, "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"), Meagan Holder ("90210"), Vanessa Born ("CSI: New York," "Hannah Montana") and Gabrielle Dennis ("The Game," "My Name is Earl"), as well as Janelle and Jessica Martinez (Bratz), also known as the red-hot musical duo Prima J.

In the all-new movie Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, East Los Angeles high school cheer squad captain Lina Cruz (Christina Milian) and her best friends Gloria (Vanessa Born) and Treyvonetta (Gabrielle Dennis) have high hopes of winning the Spirit Championships with the team's fiery fusion of Latin and hip-hop moves. Instead, Lina's world is turned upside down when her mother remarries and her family relocates to Malibu where she is forced to adjust to a new home, a new stepsister (Holland Roden) and a new school with a less-than-stellar cheer squad. Always ready for a challenge, Lina takes on the daunting task on transforming the Malibu Vista High Sea Lions cheer squad into a championship team, but she will have to get past the award-winning Jaguar cheer squad and their captain, Avery (Rachele Smith). Lina's budding romance with Avery's brother Evan (Cody Longo) only intensifies the rivalry. With the stakes higher than ever before, Lina devises a bold plan that could blow the Jaguars right off of the competition floor and lead the Sea Lions to victory!

—> DVD Review by Dean Winkelspecht »
EXCERPT: R&B artist Christina Milian is the second Jersey girl to star in a "Bring It On" film after Kirsten Dunst starred in the original film. Milian previously had lead roles in the horror film "Pulse" and the made-for-television film "Snowglobe." Milian has had some success as a recording artist, but has always wanted to be an actress and with her role in "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish," I'm not so sure the Latino actress is going to have much more success as an actress. With every "Bring It On," film the major plot line is that an underdog team of cheerleaders must rise against the odds and take on the favored "All-Star" cheerleaders to win the championship.

I'm not going to say that "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish" is a horrible film, but I'm definitely not going to call it a good film. It clearly is intended for an audience and a demographic that I am not a part of. The writing is pedestrian and simply recycles the same themes we've seen over and over and it appears as if writers Elena Song and Alyson Fouse were asked to just remake one of the previous "Bring It On" films with a little Latino flair. I found the film far too stereotypical and almost racist at times in how it portrayed some of the characters and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some out there who become offended by the film. I've certainly seem worse written films, but everything done in this film is just regurgitated.

"Bring It On: Fight to the Finish" is what it is. It is a direct-to-video release of a tired franchise that exists only for a given demographic. And if you aren't part of the target audience, you'll have little to no reason to watch the film. It isn't intended to be a great film, but a display of cheerleading and solid dancing. There are millions of little girls out there who eat this kind of thing up and there are countless young cheerleaders who can draw some inspiration from this film.

"Bring It On" is a very tired franchise that reminds me of the "Beethoven" films that have flourished in direct-to-video sales. There is an audience and the studio is going to milk "Bring It On" as long as they can. For the most part, this is a critic proof release because the intended consumers don't care what a mid-thirties white male critic is going to say about this film. My two cents is that "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish" is not worth a rental and the only time you should watch this film is when it is provided through cable, satellite or broadcast television. Even then you should only watch it if you have something better to do.
