Must Read
Suddenly, she’s trading in her old team for a squad led by the fierce, and initially unwelcoming, Avery. Think icy glares and competitive vibes cranked up to eleven. It's clear that the West Covina Sharks are not a team to be messed with.
More Than Just Pom-Poms
What makes Fight to the Finish so enjoyable is its focus on Lina's journey to find her place. It’s not just about winning a cheer competition, although that’s a big part of it. It's also about learning to appreciate different cultures and breaking down stereotypes.
Lina has to earn the respect of her new teammates and figure out how to blend her own unique style with their existing routines. This leads to some hilarious, and sometimes awkward, moments as she tries to navigate the world of privileged Malibu teens.
But here's the fun part: she doesn't just conform. She uses her skills and experience to help the Sharks see things from a fresh perspective. She infuses their routines with a bit of her East Los Angeles flavor.
The Underdog Story We Didn't Know We Needed

The movie also highlights the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Lina and Avery eventually realize that they're stronger together. They combine their skills and create a routine that showcases the best of both worlds. This shows what the team is capable of as a whole.
Of course, there's a rival team, the Jaguar cheerleaders, who are determined to win at any cost. This adds another layer of competition and drama to the story. The scene during the final competition is intense with the two cheer squads, who will win?
Why It Still Holds Up
Bring It On: Fight to the Finish is a fun, lighthearted movie with a positive message. It celebrates diversity, encourages teamwork, and reminds us that it’s okay to be yourself. It has a great soundtrack which is filled with high-energy beats and infectious rhythms.
