Brief synopsis of Sugar And Spice

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 Marsden, SUGAR & SPICE is a teen comedy with some unusual twists.

Critics Reviews

Rating of 3 stars out of 5 Radio Times

The cast list — Mena Suvari, James Marsden, Rachel Blanchard — is an impressive roster of twentysomething American actors, and they all look as if they had fun making this broad, if not always successful, comedy about a group of cheerleaders who turn to bank robbery when one of their number (Marley Shelton) gets pregnant and is disowned by her parents. Mildly amusing teen fare, with a grown-up cast that includes Sean Young and king of the annoying cameos, Jerry Springer.

Los Angeles Times

"...Amusingly subversive, thanks to sharp writing and direction....Performances are on the money right down the line..."

Chicago Sun

"...It's sassy and satirical....It's alive and risky and saucy..."

Rated - 1 starsAbsolute trash

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Even the presence of the wonderful Mena Suvari was not enough to redeem this turkey. Utter drivel - don't even think about it!

A prom-queen turned pregnant teen convinces her five cheerleading buddies to pull off a bank heist in order to finance her and her star Quarter-Back boyfriends love shack and eventual future.

It's as dire as it sounds.

A film about friendship and love.

A group of cheerleaders come together and devise a plan to help their friends money problems.

Funny in places, one you can watch without having to think. Silly but enjoyable.

Another of those quirky American high school comedies. This time with a twist... a cheerleading squad plans an armed robbery. So it's like Mean Girls meets Raising Arizona. And this one actually is nearly as good as Mean Girls.

So you can't go wrong.
