Rating: Summary: Sugar and Spice Review: Sugar and Spice is really funny. It's about a Varsity cheerleading squad that decides to help out their captain after he funds out that she's pregnant. They all then decide that the only way to make sure that she and her baby don't struggle is to pull off a bank heist! And just so they can get to know how to accomplish this kind of feat, they go to Kansas' (Mina Suvari) mom who is in jail.O.k. this movie is a little bland at first (hence the missing star for a perfect score), but after you get to know the characters and after they piece together their plan, Sugar and Spice becomes a really funny and totally hilarious movie. This is a pretty funny movie after the story and plot get established. I won't deny that you could probably find funnier but for what it is, Sugar and Spice is definately worth it because I guarantee you'll laugh your head off. Check this out and if you're looking for more funny chearleader movies, check out BRING IT ON. It's a lot fluffier than Sugar and Spice but it's another great addition to anyone's DVD collection.
Rating: Summary: Gorgeous cheerleaders in a very funny movie Review: Mena Suvari in a cheerleading outfit. That's why I bought this movie. I'm not ashamed to admit that. This movie has more than just Mena in a cheerleading outfit, though--it has several other attractive young ladies in cheerleading outfits. Mena aside, this is just a fun and entertaining movie. There are some people who would call this movie lame and silly, but who cares about those overly serious people? All movies don't have to be dramatic passion plays that enrich and inform our lives. Sometimes, there is nothing better than a good, "dumb" high school movie, and this is one of the better ones. A group of "A Squad" cheerleaders end up robbing a bank in order to help support the unborn twins of the head cheerleader, who continues cheering into her seventh month of pregnancy. In the process, hilarity ensues. It's a funny movie, and that is all it is intended to be. It won't win a Best Picture Oscar, but it provides a welcome escape from reality. For obvious reasons, I'm sure this movie will appeal more to male viewers than to females. The girls in this movie are gorgeous, especially Mena (of course). In a way, this movie portrays young women asserting themselves, working together to accomplish their goals, so maybe there is some educational value in it. Or maybe not. It annoys me to see other people saying things about how this movie could be a bad influence on youngsters. So the main characters gets pregnant and ends up getting her friends to help her rob a bank. If there has been a rash of pregnant, teenaged cheerleaders dressing up as Betty dolls and robbing banks since this movie came out, it's news to me. This is comedy, folks. The cast is great, and one reason they are all great is because they all overplay their characters to maximize the levels of satire and comedy. It is an insult to today's youth (which I am slightly too old to still be included with, unfortunately) to claim that a film such as this is going to "influence" them to be immoral. Today's youth understand comedy and entertainment; they know you should not take everything in life too seriously. They also know that a movie does not have to "make a point," as one reviewer argues. This movie made me laugh, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. In my book, that makes it a great and successful movie.
Rating: Summary: You know This Movie was not at all bad! Review: I fell in love with this movie! The plot was good because it all fixed in with the begining with Diane falling in love with Jack and then Diane gets pregnant and gets kicked out of the house with MAJOR money problems! The movie was cute and both funny at the same time! If you want to see real reviews by critics you can go to: www.rottentomatoes.com/
Rating: Summary: Funniest Movie I have ever seen! Review: Usually, I don't like to watch movies more than once or twice, but this one I bought as soon as I got done renting it. It starts out with the jealous B-squad cheerleader, Lisa, played by Marla Sokoloff (Dude, where's my car, The Practice) narrating the story. The captain of the A-squad, Diane, played by Marley Shelton (Bubble Boy, Plesantville) gets pregnant from the star quarter back (James Mardsen- Xmen, Zoolander) and decides to rob a bank. So with the help of the rest of the squad, Kansas, Hannah, Lucy, Cleo, and later Fern, the A-squad robs the local grocery store bank branch. Australian actress Melissa George (New Port South, Bring it On) plays the part of Cleo, an A-squad cheerleader who is obsessed with Conan O'Brien. Rachel Blanchard (TV's Clueless, Carrie 2:The Rage) plays Hannah, the religious virgin of the group. And the movie would not be funny at all without Mena Survari (Loser, American Pie, American Pie 2, Carrie 2:The Rage) who plays Kansas, the rebel who's mother is in jail. And then there's Lucy (played by Sara Marsh), the brain of the group who has second thoughts. I would definantly recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys comedy movies.
Rating: Summary: Lots of fun Review: Sugar and Spice is a comedy about a group of cheerleaders who decide to rob the local bank brach. Diane (Marley Shelton) is the A-squad captain for Lincoln High who suddenly gets pregnant by Jack (James Marsden). When the couple starts living on their own, Diane realizes they can't afford things just on Jack's salary at the video store. That is when she decides to work at the grocery store-bank branch to make some extra cash. She comes up with a crazy idea to rob the bank because "money makes your dreams come true" and she knows the bank branch well making it an easy break in. Sugar and Spice is funny and original. The movie is fun and entertaining. In my opinion, the cast does a commendable job of acting. The characters are great and the storyline is solid.
Rating: Summary: Tarantino Laughs With The Varsity Pep Squad! Review: Cheerleaders are an easy target. They're always happy, peppy and have high standards, both in their morals and in their men. Such is the case of the five women in "Sugar and Spice." Everything is idyllic in their world... especially when the head cheerleader meets the transfer student quarterback! But after some extracurricular activity, there's a new student on the way. And after their parents collectively disown the kids for it, it's time to stop being polite and start getting a real job. After suffering through minimum wage jobs while trying to continue to study, and dealing with a flophouse style home with a sketchy super and desperately needing to plan for their arriving bundle, the squad comes up with a plan: rob the bank where their pregnant partner is employed! And what a plan it is! Complete with blond doll masks and star spangled outfits, the girls are set to pull their "Reservoir Dogs" routine. But can they get away with it? As implausible as the plot is, it's equally engaging, as we follow the team attempting to plan out this perfect crime, in order to help their friend. It's got a lot of heart and charm! Fans of the David E. Kelley TV series, "The Practice" will recognize Marla Sokoloff as the Cheer squad's main antagonist... but fans of J.J. Abrams TV series "Alias" might NOT recognize aussie actress Melissa George who here plays the squad member obsessed with Conan O'Brien! The DVD has both the widescreen and the standard versions of the film, plus a couple of deleted scenes (which, quite frankly, were correctly left out of the final cut, but are interesting to see here). A talented and amusing cast, and a fun story... definitely recommended!

Rating: Summary: Not Another Teeny Bopper Movie Review: This movie surprised me. I expected something like She's All That, one of the better teen movies (to me)...or maybe something less than that. But this movie was not what I expected. It was fresh and funny! It made references to John Cougar Mellancamp and the storyline was unusual, absurb, and it worked. Good comedy. Not on my top ten list, but worth a viewing, in my book.
Rating: Summary: Get ready to cheer for the bad girls!! Review: Sugar and Spice is about a group of cheeleaders who are also bank robbers and best friends! For the Lincoln High A-squad cheering comes easy, but when team captain Diane falls in love with the star quarterback, Jack it leads to some unexpected problems for the pair. That's when she calls on her friends to help out with her goal; to rob the local bank branch she works for. The rebel of the bunch, Kansas masterminds the plan for the most outrageous heist this small town has ever seen. I own this movie and I think it's really cute and a fun comedy about the way friendship should be! I love how all of Diane's friends are there for her throughout this whole movie and they never back down! Overall, this movie is really carefree and saucy! The deleted scenes are really good too! :) I recommend this to all!
