It's a cute movie, it would be fun for kids who love volleyball to watch. However, I play volleyball in college and honestly, it was hard for me to watch the actual volleyball scenes. From a volleyball players standpoint it makes us look bad because the girls are either really ghetto, or really stuck up, and talk waaaaay more smack to other teams then I have ever seen in my entire life. Besides that, it seems like a Disney sports movie, like something Hilary Duff would be in. It's probably good for kids 10 - 18, any younger or any older than that I don't think would like it. It's got a pretty good baseline to it, and if I didn't play volleyball or know anything about it I would enjoy the volleyball scenes alot more.

This movie contained some of the worst acting I have ever seen. I understand that this is an MTV movie and to not expect much. But VArsity Blues was ALSO a sports MTV movie and it was very well made. It seems like this script was only have made. The characters weren't developed. The rivalry seemed to shallow, there was no deep sense of orgin to it and it resolved too quickly between the two teams main stars. The whole time watching this movie I felt as though I was watching Laguna Beach because they never designated a main character. It felt like a reality TV movie. It sucked. The plot was not good. Her dad dies in the very beginning BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW THE CHARACTER... before you could even relate to her. It wasn't sad. The opening scene is a vollyball game but you dont know whose side you are on yet. Why Why Why? It is worth the watch just to see Ciara suck beyond belief at acting (stick to the singing honey acting is NOT for you). Someone compared this to a disney movie... No... at least disney movies have more developed characters and better actors. SO watch it for the suckiness of it. It is fun to rag about while sitting with your friends...

Think of "All You've Got" as a volleyball version of "Bring it on" and you know what you will see in it. The film is produced by MTV Films and is full of cool soundtrack music. Instead of Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushuku and Gabrielle Union, the film features singers like Ciara and Adrienne Bailon, but you know, in this kind of film made for fun, it doesn't really matter whether or not they can act like Meryl Streep, and to be fair they are all likable, giving their best shots. I tried to like the film itself, but I find it very disappointing.

The story itself is not bad. You meet two rivaling volleyball squads The Madonnas and The Phantoms (which reflects the cultural and social differences). Three of the ace players of The Madonnas join the The Phantoms after one tragic event that happens to their school. Their presence naturally causes a discord in the team despite the strict teaching of the coach (Faizon Love), but they have to stay together to win the California State Championship.

The story is predictable, but so was that of "Bring it on" (not that part about the finals in Florida, but the friendship between the girls), so the predictability didn't bother me. No, what disappointed me is the lack of joyful energy of the characters and thrilling sports scenes. The film does not take any new steps in presenting the characters, and it seems the film is more interested in showing the DJs and musicians on stage (in the dance clubs where they go) than the girls themselves. The volleyball sequences are not exciting because of the absence of the athletes' movements that should be essential to the film's story. The use of stunts and stand-ins is understandable, but the scenes are poorly put together, giving some strange moments when it is obvious that the actors are only posing in the court, not playing the game at all.

Probably fans of the actors will enjoy the film, finding more fun than they expected, and Adrienne Bailon is actually very good. But as an ordinary film fan I think "All You've Got" needs something more, more power and energy, and something that would surprise the viewers.

This movie is great for teenage kids family night movie. It is a good way to dialog with your teenagers about what's going on at their school. It's a way to keep open communication with your teenage kids. Loved the movie too!

Not a bad movie. It's the same 'competitive girls' story on different side of tracks story. In the end, like the Bring It On series...you just have fun with it.

I thought that this Video is both Very Educational { teachs people that we NEED to Work Together in Order to Accomplish Anything, [ to get things done correctley ] in this Life and World tht we live in } if we want to get anything done and done correctly. Life in this World is like a Sports Team, Everyone Needs to Work Together if we want to accomplish something Positive in this life / world, and Excellent. We Need to learn that we have to Work Together as a Team; we CAN'T go Fighting One Another all becuase of one's Skin COlor, Religion, the part of the World that one comes from or anything else; the sooner people learn that, the better off we as humans will all be.

I had seen the previews of this movie every time I would watch another movie that I owned. The previews were what sold me on the buying of this movie. I finally got it and it was just as great as the previews showed it was. It's rocky road to friendship but they come together in the end. An excelelnt movie all around. All You've Got

I like this movie it makes you realize how important friendship and commitment really is.

the movie itself was average, however there are few movies about volleyball so if you like v-ball it is definitely worth it.

This movie is pretty poor. I couldn't even bring myself to sit through the whole thing. The acting is awful. The storyline is weak. The volleyball is only passable. Actually, given how the team in question is supposedly the defending national champion, it's subpar. That team probably wouldn't win a league championship in the L.A. area, never mind the state or national title. For someone who doesn't know competitive volleyball at that level it might be fine, but I would be hard pressed to recommend it.
