Eliza Dushku

Bring It On - Saturday August 5 at 8.30pm

This very energetic teen film was a surprise hit in 2000, and confirmed star Kirsten Dunst’s ability to carry a film.

It tells the peppy story of a champion cheerleading team who must reinvigorate their routine when they discover their departing captain stole all their winning cheers.

It reads like a pretty cheesy set-up, but the film works remarkably well, thanks to the considerable charms of leads Dunst, Eliza Dushku (Faith from Buffy) and Gabrielle Union (Bad Boys II), who plays the leader of a rival cheerleading team.

A straight-to-video sequel, with none of the original cast "Bring It On Again", was released in America earlier this year.
