Cheerleaders are an easy target. They're always happy, peppy and have high standards, both in their morals and in their men. Such is the case of the five women in "Sugar and Spice."

Everything is idyllic in their world... especially when the head cheerleader meets the transfer student quarterback! But after some extracurricular activity, there's a new student on the way. And after their parents collectively disown the kids for it, it's time to stop being polite and start getting a real job.

After suffering through minimum wage jobs while trying to continue to study, and dealing with a flophouse style home with a sketchy super and desperately needing to plan for their arriving bundle, the squad comes up with a plan: rob the bank where their pregnant partner is employed! And what a plan it is!

Complete with blond doll masks and star spangled outfits, the girls are set to pull their "Reservoir Dogs" routine. But can they get away with it?

As implausible as the plot is, it's equally engaging, as we follow the team attempting to plan out this perfect crime, in order to help their friend. It's got a lot of heart and charm!

Fans of the David E. Kelley TV series, "The Practice" will recognize Marla Sokoloff as the Cheer squad's main antagonist... but fans of J.J. Abrams TV series "Alias" might NOT recognize aussie actress Melissa George who here plays the squad member obsessed with Conan O'Brien!

The DVD has both the widescreen and the standard versions of the film, plus a couple of deleted scenes (which, quite frankly, were correctly left out of the final cut, but are interesting to see here). A talented and amusing cast, and a fun story... definitely recommended!

I fell in love with this movie! The plot was good because it all fixed in with the begining with Diane falling in love with Jack and then Diane gets pregnant and gets kicked out of the house with MAJOR money problems! The movie was cute and both funny at the same time!

This movie surprised me. I expected something like She's All That, one of the better teen movies (to me)...or maybe something less than that. But this movie was not what I expected. It was fresh and funny! It made references to John Cougar Mellancamp and the storyline was unusual, absurb, and it worked. Good comedy. Not on my top ten list, but worth a viewing, in my book.

Sugar and Spice is about a group of cheeleaders who are also bank robbers and best friends!
For the Lincoln High A-squad cheering comes easy, but when team captain Diane falls in love with the star quarterback, Jack it leads to some unexpected problems for the pair. That's when she calls on her friends to help out with her goal; to rob the local bank branch she works for. The rebel of the bunch, Kansas masterminds the plan for the most outrageous heist this small town has ever seen.
I own this movie and I think it's really cute and a fun comedy about the way friendship should be! I love how all of Diane's friends are there for her throughout this whole movie and they never back down! Overall, this movie is really carefree and saucy! The deleted scenes are really good too! :) I recommend this to all!

with cheerleaders robbing banks..one gets pregnant..marries James Marsden(whos funny as a goofball) and then basically thats it....nothing much then that.....fun for awhile then drops dead. note: Adam Busch(billed as Geeky Guy) goes on to play Warren Mears on Buffy The Vampire Slayer for all you Buffy fans out there

A quick review for those of you who dont like reading paragraphs and paragraphs of information. This movie was probably one of the worst I have seen. I saw this when I was bored and I had heard some funny things about it so I clicked on it and I was rather surprised. There were a few funny things but nothing special, the plot was horrible, it was inaproppiate, and the movie felt like it took forever to actaully get started and then actually finish.

Overall: Dont even bother. You'll probably fall asleep before it gets to the climax or you'll be talking through it or the occasional few who would watch it in shock and say, "that was horrible."

this is really entertaining and funny even though it is sometimes very corny.i love the actresses in this movie especially Mena Suvari and Marley Shelton.

This was an awsome movie. It has been on direct TV lately and I find myself watching it every time it is on. Unfortunately, they are not playing it anymore so I have to buy it for myself! It is a funny film that keeps you watching. I would definately reccommend it!

I really didn't expect much from this movie. I remember seeing the trailer in the theaters and then not giving it a second thought. I finally watched it and I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. If you're expecting heavy handed drama, this isn't for you. It was mostly a silly movie, but it was also a lot of fun. It was a quick hour-and-a-half, not necessarily a movie you'd want to watch over and over, but enjoyable nonetheless. The pretty girls in cheerleader outfits certainly didn't hurt, and I think Marley Shelton is one of the prettiest and underrated actresses around. Give it a chance and watch it. You won't be disappointed.
