It's fun in its raunchy unwieldiness.

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.

Reviews for Sugar & Spice
There are mucho storytelling dodges and gaping plot holes that make Sugar barely watchable.

Top CriticIt's just… there.

Jokes fall more in the genre of 'teens will laugh at this because teens will laugh at anything.'
01/29/01
Overall, most everything about this film doesn't work.
01/29/01
A feeble teen comedy, minus the comedy.
01/29/01
A laugh-out-loud winter's treat.

You Should Pay Nine Bucks to See This: HA! NO WAY!

It means to be knowing and cynical but is just callow.
01/29/01
Goofy and inconsequential, but pretty damned cute.
01/29/01
A frothy motion picture that offers moments of guilty pleasure but isn't good enough to earn a recommendation.
01/29/01
The movie has a poorly improvised, amateur-night feel.

Like a cut-rate Heathers, this film wants to explore the dark side of teen class warfare but has few tools with which to conduct its study.

You get the feeling that it's bad on purpose, which makes it, given the number of teenage movies that are terrible by accident, not bad at all.

Top CriticAmusingly subversive, thanks to sharp writing and direction.
01/29/01
Top CriticAbout as good as you'd expect. But never as good as you'd prefer.
01/29/01
The picture feels rushed and rather pointless -- a nice enough diversion, but one that fails to go that extra mile to become anything other than such.
01/29/01
Most of the time the movie coasts aimlessly along like a car stuck in neutral.
01/29/01
What this picture needed was a darker, Heathers-like sense of humor.
01/29/01
Alternately tasteless and inane (and very often both at once).
