My Personal Favorite of the Series
12 November 2018
After her widowed Latina mother "Isabel" (Laura Ceron) marries a wealthy man named "Henry" (David Starzyk), a high school cheerleader by the name of "Lena" (Christina Milian) is forced to move from East Los Angeles to Malibu. Although her new house is in an upscale part of the city, Lena is extremely upset about having to leave her high school friends and her cheerleading team where she served as the captain. Not only that, but once she gets to her new school she learns that a former cheerleader there named "Avery" (Rachele Brooke Smith) has left the current squad out of spite and taken most of the talented members to form a team outside of the high school known as the All Star Jaguars. Naturally, in desperate need of an experienced captain, the remaining Malibu Vista Sea Lions cheerleading team desperately begs her to lead their squad. Naturally, she accepts but soon realizes that she cannot revitalize this depleted team all on her own so when she learns that her old cheerleading squad has disbanded she eagerly recruits a couple of them to move in with her and help her out. Needless to say, this displeases Avery who has done everything she can to ruin this team. And she doesn't want anyone to get in her way. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I genuinely liked this film and thought it was actually better than any of its predecessors. Although the plot was certainly similar to the others, I liked the reverse-scenario of "Bring It On-All or Nothing" along with the chemistry between Lena and her two friends "Gloria" (Vanessa Born) and "Treyvonetta" (Gabrielle Dennis). They were hilarious. At any rate, while this movie certainly won't win any awards, I enjoyed it all the same and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
