Diane 'Mastermind' Weston (Marley Shelton) is the leader of the Lincoln High School cheerleaders with Hannah 'religious virgin' Wald (Rachel Blanchard), Cleo 'Conan O'Brien stalker' Miller (Melissa George), Kansas 'Rebel' Hill (Mena Suvari) and Lucy 'Brain' Whitman (Sara Marsh). They are arrested and the jealous leader of the B-squad Lisa Janusch (Marla Sokoloff) is ratting out the girls to the police. Jack Bartlett (James Marsden) is the popular school football jock who gets Diane pregnant. They get their own apartment but she is stressed out about money. After watching 'Point Break', Diane has an unlikely idea. To get a gun, they have to include the criminal's daughter Fern Rogers (Alexandra Holden) in the squad.The movie is deliberately quirky. The problem is that the main cheerleaders are not that funny. They aren't comedians and fail to deliver the humor properly. Some of it works. The funniest potential is actually Sokoloff. She could be the overly paranoid, jealous and ambitious lead like Tracy Flick in 'Election'. This movie has a great idea on the surface but fails to deliver the laughs.

SUGAR & SPICE, in my opinion, is a great movie that really is just that and all things nice! If you ask me, Diane (Marley Shelton) and the rest of the cheerleaders made an excellent cheerleading squad! The only character I really couldn't stand was Lisa (Marla Sokoloff). This was because she were really snobby. However, I enjoyed the cheers very much. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say, "Three cheers for Marley Shelton!" Now, in conclusion, if you like movies about cheerleaders, this is definitely one to see. You're in for a real treat, lots of laughs, and a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and watch it.

I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say it was funnier and warmer than I had expected. At the beginning, the first 15 minutes I expected another cheerleader movie similar to "Bring It On" someone being jealous (Lisa Janusch) at the head of cheerleader team (Diane), they (B*tch)fight and the underdog wins. So, I did not see much of the beginning because I thought it would be predictable and that's why I zapped away a few times.How wrong was I, this movie was funny and unpredictable. I really liked how those girls stick together and stay together, even though all of them had different background. I also liked the way Jack loved Diane, he really did a lot for her. After knowing Diane was pregnant I thought it was going to be a teenage drama with the quarterback ditching the girl and stuff because of because he could not handle the pressure. Instead of the girl getting ditched, she's robs a bank.......Of course we have to bare in mind that everything here is fictional and for that reason: please do not take this movie serious (come on guns duck-taped together and still being able to shoot??), just enjoy the movie on a rainy day.Cheers

Please, spare me of these movies that teach us that crime is fun and justified. Couple that with a vacuous script with an intense desire to be a Farrelly or a Coen brother, plus the lives of yet ANOTHER group of supposedly high school age people acting out their Dawson Creek-brand teen angst complete with a GenXYZ soundtrack that woefully tries to make the movie "feel" cool and, we have intensely and painfully inept satire.This isn't even watered-down 'Ferris Bueller'...I'd rather watch a traffic light change.Only one scene stands out as anywhere near worth the price of admission: when the Betty Masked girls meet a Richard Nixon Masked friend. It's a surreal moment. Priceless even.But for the rest of it, I'd rather have a toothache. At least I can apply some Benzocaine(tm) to stop the pain.
