Sugar & Spice (2001)
4/10
Sugar and Spice...not so nice. (Hey; you'd have to see it at least once in someone's review)
25 January 2001
I'm not going to go into detail, as the movie really doesn't really deserve it.

At first, I found the film to be quite satirical and funny in a self-deprecating way. I thought I was in for a humorous look into high school culture, a la "Breakfast Club".

Good God, how wrong I was.

There was some low toilet humor, and maybe a few more sophisticated jokes (ones that didn't draw any laughter from the crowd I was with, BTW)...and this is coming from a girl who is a self proclaimed "laugh whore". I laugh at pretty much anything.

But I draw the line at pregnant teens farting and eating Snickers smothered in ice cream.

Mena Suvari, what have you done? And don't even get me started on James Marsden.

*sigh*

However, maybe this is just a factor of me seeing 2 cheerleading movies in one week (I recently saw "Bring It On" which was slightly funnier). This is NOT a dark comedy. It's a waste of money and an hour and half. At best, if you are cheerleader or like the culture, rent it to laugh at that, but...if looking for a crime story with humor in it, go see "Snatch". Much better bang for your buck.
