Of course, an unfunny comedy is hardly news. However, even by Tinseltown's impoverished standards, one so utterly bereft is something of a rarity, and thus perversely interesting.
The best thing that can be said about the Minnesota- made comedy Sugar & Spice is that there's no reference to the fact that it was made in Minnesota.
A very funny and very entertaining, if not ultimately, very forgettable movie.
The film is too frivolous and convoluted to have much zing. But that doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining.
An amusing sendup of high school cheerleader movies, with its would-be bank robbers played to bimbo-ish perfection.
It's a well-written, fun ride, with great visual gags, sacrilegious funnery, and interesting plot twists.
De no ser por lo irregular de su ritmo satírico, hubiera sido una buena y muy disfrutable película.
