Best movie ever!
Gutsycurene
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The first must-see film of the year.
Hayden Kane
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I love this movie and watch it every few months. The casting is perfect - Mena Suvari as Kansas and James Marsden as Jack are the standouts among an exceptional cast. This film is cheesy in the greatest way. I mean, it's about a high school cheerleading squad robbing a bank to fund the cheer captain's pregnancy! The characters are really well developed and are the driving force. They all have little aspects of them that make them unique and hilarious - I find Cleo's obsession with Conan O'Brien to be particularly funny. The film is narrated by a very snarky and obviously jealous "B Squad" (junior varsity) cheerleader. They do a good job of juxtaposing what she says with what is actually happening, but the lines blur a little as you get farther into the story and you start to wonder what to believe. It truly does have surprising little twists and turns, but nothing overwhelming. This is a great movie to just relax and watch with your friends or in a bubble bath or something. Witty, memorable, and ultimately a story of the power of female friendship and a satire of high school politics and stereotypes.

In the beginning I thought of watching something light with a little depth into the movie, So I picked this one for the good ol' times. Never saw it properly but now when I did I just... can't stop facepalming. At first, when they introduced the character while labeling their traits- I got interested, because the story went through thinking of each character in depth. Boy, was I wrong. To keep things short: the story has no decent plot, the characters are superficial and inconsiderate in terms of reality except their stupid league and themselves. It's like an elementary student writing the screenplay thinking that life is dandy if mommy & daddy won't catch you red-handed. Except these elementary kids don't exist anymore, they're smarter than that. Never watch it unless you want to see Jack, the father, where he's super supportive and sweet and honest, a good model in how men are supposed to take responsibility.

I had been mildly anticipating seeing Sugar & Spice because I can appreciate the quirky, tongue-in-cheek teen comedies for what they are and have enjoyed a lot of them in the past. The plot with this one sounded hysterical and I like Marley Shelton, so I was ready to be entertained with this little flick.I found Sugar & Spice to be an excellent and extremely amusing, enjoyable teen flick with edginess and sass. The material was not "rolling on the floor, laugh out loud" hilarious, but it was enough to where you get tons of continuous little chuckles and I always had a smile on my face, always. That's why I loved this movie so much. It was able to make me grin and laugh all the way through at such little things, such as the Betty masks and whole robbery ordeal, and little lines and scenes, tons of which are through out the entire film.The performances were wonderful for their characters. Marla Sokoloff, Marley Shelton, Mena Suvari and James Marsden gave my favorite and most memorable performances of all, but everyone was memorable in their own, special way and I really just had an all out pleasurable experience with this joyous film and the joyous characters and essence it brings.In the end, as I've said, I had an amazing blast with Sugar & Spice. It was fun, fresh and though it's not for everyone, it certainly was for me, because I saw it as much more than most would for it's eccentric and zany sense that was very different in ways from other films of it's caliber. If you can enjoy films like these for what they are, try on Sugar & Spice for it is really just non-stop delight from start to finish with lovable characters and a screwball, surreal plot. I enjoyed it greatly.

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.
