Well I could have started off this review with another little cheer like I did for my last cheerleading movie, but Sugar and Spice wasn’t so much about cheerleading as it was about stupid girls getting what they want. Sugar and Spice stars Marley Shelton of Never Been Kissed as the cheerleader Diane Weston-Bartlett that gets knocked up by the star quarterback, Jack Bartlett (James Marsden of X-Men). We get an inside look at just how close these cheerleaders are, and I mean inside. Like in the bathroom passing the tampon box down the stall line because all these girls are on the same cycle close. So when the Captain passes on the box, well it doesn’t take much for these bimbos to figure out she is prego. We learn just how attractive pregnancy is like the gas, and did I mention the uncontrollable gas. Well cute and growing little Diane decides she needs money, and lots of it to stay in the life style she is accustomed to, so she plots a bank robbery. Fellow cheerleaders Cleo Miller (Melissa George of Dark City) and Kansas Hill (Mena Suvari of American Beauty) help plot their crime. The girls watch movies all about bank robberies. Then they enlist the help of Kansas’s mom, who is still incarcerated for killing her husband. The girls show up at the supermarket bank branch dressed as Betties and pull off the robbery. Only Diane’s nemesis Lisa (Marla Sokoloff of Dude, Where’s my Car?) discovers just who is behind this hold up. She just happened to be in the market at the time and watched the girls mount each other to cover the security camera with paint and then illegally dismount. See, Lisa is a stickler for the rules of cheerleading and this is why they won’t let her on the A squad thus she is hopelessly stuck with the B squad. Well do they get away with their crime? I guess you will have to see this silly film to find out. The humor is definitely potty humor and outright stupidity, but it will make you laugh. It will make you laugh at how ridiculous the popular groups in high school really are. Also in the Francine McDougall directed film are Rachel Blanchard, Alexandra Holden, Sean Young, W. Earl Brown and Jake Hoffman. I thought this was as stupid as it looked, but if you are in the mood for stupid, then this is a winner. I give Sugar and Spice 5 couches on the About-Movies.com scale. Bye now.
