How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:73

Rotten:52

Average Rating:4.6/10

Consensus: Though this cheerleader comedy has an intriguing premise, it's too empty-headed and saddled with too many lame jokes to live up to it. Also, some critics say the movie is irresponsible in its depiction of teens and guns.

Runtime: 84 mins

Genre: Comedies

SUGAR & SPICE is a wicked black comedy about high school, teenage pregnancy, and five bankrobbing cheerleaders armed with semi-automatic weapons. When Diane, (Marley Shelton), a popular high school cheerleader, gets pregnant with the star quarterback's baby, she turns to crime to support herself and her child. Fortunately, her five best friends on the cheerleading squad are, like, totally supportive of her decision! Together they devise a plan for a series of major bank heists to benefit Diane's future financial security. With a hot young cast including Mena Suvari (AMERICAN BEAUTY), Marla Sokoloff (TV's THE PRACTICE), and James Franco, SUGAR & SPICE is a teen comedy with some unusual twists. [More]

The movie has a poorly improvised, amateur-night feel.

It means to be knowing and cynical but is just callow.

While there are moments of inspired lunacy here, the kookiness comes only in small doses, and it's all too often swamped by a sea of obnoxiousness.

Because this one strives for something greater -- and gets there for a while -- it is more grating when it fails so miserably.

Crassness passes for edgy humour and reality rides the bench.

A setup stretched as thinly over feature length as the average movie-bound Saturday Night Live sketch.

Struggles with the existential challenge of individuating five (then six, then seven) perky white heterosexual girls wearing identical aquamarine miniskirts and halter tops.
