The movie seems short, with unnecessary parts too. For instance it delayed till the end of its first half to hit its point of attack (the idea of the heist) to have us for quite some time watching just the problem which led to that !. Plus, what's the need for an extra girl (the daughter of the weapons' dealer) where she did nothing to the story or the comedy ??, or what's the need for free nasty scenes like the big black worker woman at the prison who looks lustfully to the young girls' short skirts ??!! Actually I suspect also how the 2 minutes of "where are they now?" part was added just to lengthen the movie's running time which's originally a 73 minutes long only. Let alone how its third act (the robbery itself) wasn't as hot and ironic as it should have been. However, it's fresh comedy, with smart conflict where the unexpected always happens. The cast was totally cute and comic with great sense of humor to mock scornfully at the teen girls. The hidden satire gives it a little deepness that could make it live longer; you must rob to survive, the perfect role models aren't that perfect after all, and it even shows how the dirty money financed the politicians, or how the politicians themselves can be so dull (to have a gang's head as a wife, and know nothing about it !). It's a good little crime comedy that assured how the unfair society must be robbed, and how the teen polished girls can plan and achieve the perfect crime. It looks like some revenge on anyone ever sees that girls are weak or less intelligent than men. No wonder I suppose, since it came from 2 girls already : director Francine McDougall, and scriptwriter Lona Williams (Mandy Nelson is an alias Williams used). (Williams) is the one who wrote (Drop Dead Gorgeous) 2 years earlier, where she illustrated how the girls got sugar and bad spice, here she clarified the existence of the good spice anyway. But it could have been better, lighter and stronger. Still its best moments are : dealing with life by Madonna's wisdom, and seeing (Melissa George) in this red underwear That was SEXY!
... View MoreSorry, but I LOVE this film. I think it's funny, brilliant and I love the girls. Okay, so it's no Being John Malkovitch;- what did you expect? I love the romance, the sweetness and naievity of Quarterback -The determination - and how nice they all are even though they're so popular. Totally unrealistic but good laughs, sweet romance and a good chick flick. Hot and pregnant girls robbing banks while worrying about jeans. Going into the prison scene to get to know criminals "Priceless"The weird outback girl, who is loyal and turns out to be pretty. The mean girl who is jealous - worth it for her snarky comments. Fabulous!
... View MoreYou have to take it for what it is worth. It has hot young girls dressed scantily and they don't take themselves seriously. The humor is silly but not stupid, and the plot is actually not too bad. They developed a nice mix of eclectic personalities for each of the girls. It is all told from a narrative perspective, with one of the girls giving police an exhaustive statement of the crime and what led up to it. I especially love the constant quoting of musical lyrics by the lead female character.I wouldn't call it a great family film with redeeming moral values and wouldn't slap in the DVD when the pastor and his family come over.Ultimately, as a guy, the hot young girls part was good enough for me. Anything else was icing. Gee, I'm easy.
... View MoreI watched this movie on TBS. I didn't want to see it when it was in theaters or on the movie channels, but now that it's on TBS I was happy I saw it. It's about a pregnant cheerleader who moves into an apartment with her boyfriend (the father of her child) after their parents kick them out oft heir respective homes. Jack, the father-to-be, gets a job in a video store. Unfortunately, it's not much to live on. Diane, the soon-to-be-mother also has a job, working in a bank. Diane's friends and squad are behind her all the way and even agree to help her rob the bank she works at. The tale is told from the point of view of the B-Squad cheerleader who wants to be on the A-Squad.I didn't expect this movie to be Shakespere. I didn't expect it to be a masterpiece. I just wanted to watch a funny movie and expected it to be a little silly. And it met those expectations. This movie is great for a sleepover for the 15 and up crowd. It pokes fun at every stereotype in a not really all that serious way. I considered the time spent on this movie worth it. I'd recommend this movie only if you don't take it seriously.
