Features: DVD
Cheerleading in the U-S-A has yet to encounter this rambunctious group from Lincoln High School, until now! This "A-squad" team trades in their pom-poms and short skirts for mock guns and bank robber disguises. This lighthearted comedy is guaranteed to redefine your idea of school spirit!
"Give the girls a cheer!" Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Amusingly subversive..." Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"...the right mix of innocence and mean-spiritedness, driven by a noisy power-pop soundtrack." A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"Quite a smart little film..." Brendan Kelly, Variety
"Babelicious!" Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview
Editor's Note
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 Franco, SUGAR & SPICE is a teen comedy with some unusual twists.

"...It's fun....McDougall offers a definite sense of style..." 02/09/2001 p.39Los Angeles Times
"...Amusingly subversive, thanks to sharp writing and direction....Performances are on the money right down the line..." 01/29/2001 p.F4 Chicago Sun-Times
"...It's sassy and satirical....It's alive and risky and saucy..." 01/26/2001 p.29 Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
...It's sassy and satirical... With its shameless pop culture references, wicked satire and a cheerleader with the hots for Conan O'Brien, it's more proof that not all movie teenagers have to be dumb. (All right, these cheerleaders are dumb--but in a smart movie.)... It's is not a great high school movie like Election, but it's alive and risky and saucy. - Roger Ebert
