Bring It On: All or Nothing (previously known as Bring It On Yet Again) is a 2006 American teen comedy film directed by Steve Rash and starring Hayden Panettiere and Solange Knowles-Smith.^[1] It is the third installment in the Bring It On series of films that revolves around high-school cheerleading. The film was released direct-to-DVD on August 8, 2006.

This film, which is the second sequel to Bring It On, has a tenuous link to its predecessors, featuring only a similar plot of competing cheerleading teams that have to try something different in order to win. There are no recurring cast members or canonical references to the preceding films. However, the film stylistically refers to its predecessors in that it is the third film in the Bring It On series to open with a choreographed musical number that turns out to be a dream sequence of the protagonist, and like all three films, the end credits feature outtakes and clips of the cast having fun dancing.

Plot

Britney Allen is living the “dream life” as she becomes the new cheerleading captain of her high-school cheerleading squad, the Pacific Vista Pirates. She is the girlfriend of Brad Warner – the standout quarterback at Pacific Vista High School – and, to top it off, she is one of the richest girls in school. But when her father loses his job, her perfect life comes crashing down around her as she and her family are forced to move to Crenshaw Heights; a working-class area. Britney – being the “white girl” – suffers a huge culture shock as she attempts to adjust to her new life; and quickly finds herself at odds with her new classmates such as cheerleaders Camille (the cheerleading captain), Kireesha and Leti, who come from very rough walks of life and believe that she is nothing more than an idiotic Barbie. During a rough first day at a new school, she meets another cheerleader Jesse, who is more welcoming. After a pep rally, Jesse suggests Britney to try out for the cheerleading squad, the Crenshaw Heights Warriors. Britney declines due to the promise to her old squad that she would never cheer again. However, Britney would then try out for the cheerleading squad. Impressed by her athletic abilities, Kireesha and Leti encourages Camille to let Britney join the squad. Britney rejects the offer at first, but would later join after being encouraged by her mother. Britney learns that her new team are training for the cheerleading competition, where the winning squad gets new computers for their school. Back in Pacific Vista, Winnie, Britney’s replacement as cheerleading captain, holds practice in the football field. While practicing, Winnie scantily flirts with Brad and simultaneously frustrates the squad, including Amber, Britney’s best friend.

The next day at practice, Britney notices the boys doing krumping, and presents the idea to Camille to add it to their routine. Much to Britney’s dismay, Camille doesn’t want to change the squad’s routine. Jesse delivers pizza to Britney’s house; though unaware that she lives there. Brad answers the door and insults Jesse. Winnie watches the news and sees Britney as a new cheerleader for Crenshaw Heights. The following night at a football game, Winnie, Amber and fellow cheerleader Sierra confronts Britney about breaking her promise of never cheering again. After seeing Pacific Vista on television, Camille has a change of heart and decides to have Britney and Jesse teach the squad krumping. Jesse and Britney gets more closer, and Jesse kisses Britney when they were hanging out at Tar Beach. Britney calls Amber and tells her about the kiss. Then Amber reminds Britney about the homecoming dance at her old school that is coming up, after confiding that Winnie has been spending time with Brad. The next morning, Britney makes an excuse of having a dog that died to get out of an upcoming game the same night to attend the homecoming dance with Brad. Jesse and Camille arrived at Britney’s house to offer their condolences, but discovered she lied about having a dog. Jesse leaves upset, and Camille kicks Britney out of the squad. Britney and Brad finally arrive at the homecoming dance. Though Amber and the rest of the girls are happy to see Britney, Winnie makes disparaging racial remarks about Britney’s new friends. Brad and Winnie are crowned homecoming King and Queen, and Winnie confesses to sleeping with Brad. Britney ends the friendship with Winnie, and breaks up with Brad. The next morning, Britney apologizes to Camille and the rest of the squad for not attending the game with the team for the dance. Winnie mocks Crenshaw Heights before the cheerleading competition. Camille welcomes Britney back to the team after Britney defends them against Winnie’s racially insensitive remarks.

At the cheerleading competition, which is hosted by musical artist Rihanna, Brianna, a cheerleader for Pacific Vista, suddenly faints from a rigorous diet she was on prior to the event. Britney checks on her and apologizes to her for making her lose weight from when she was their captain. Britney make amends with Jesse, then Britney kisses Jesse. Rihanna announces that the Pacific Vista Pirates and the Crenshaw Heights Warriors are the finalists. Winnie changes the moves at the last minute; which upsets her squad even further. Camille and Britney agree to add the same moves that Britney did when she first tried out for Crenshaw Heights. The Warriors, now in new gears, cheer off against the Pirates. During the finals, the Warriors scare off the Pirates with their krumping and proceeds with their routine. Winnie complains to Rihanna about Crenshaw Heights, and once again makes a stereotypical remark against the squad. Winnie is voted to be removed from her position as captain, and Crenshaw Heights were declared the winners of the competition. Amber has been named the new captain of the Pirates, and Britney officially introduces her old squad to her new squad. The film ends with Crenshaw Heights being seen in Rihanna’s music video.
