Consensus: Though this cheerleader comedy has an intriguing premise, it's too empty-headed and saddled with too many lame jokes to live up to it. Also, some critics say the movie is irresponsible in its depiction of teens and guns.

Reviews for Sugar & Spice
Watching a teen flick as morally bankrupt as Sugar & Spice ... you have to wonder if Hollywood is really getting the message about gratuitous film violence.

Top CriticThis is Heathers with half the laughs and none of the edge.

If it weren't that this irritating, irresponsible film was in production around the same time as last fall's sleeper hit Bring It On, you'd swear it was a rushed-out knock-off
01/26/01
Crassness passes for edgy humour and reality rides the bench.
01/26/01
A setup stretched as thinly over feature length as the average movie-bound Saturday Night Live sketch.

Top CriticIt's all so ludicrous that it could have been hysterical, but that would have required a very clever screenplay and slick, devious direction.

Because this one strives for something greater -- and gets there for a while -- it is more grating when it fails so miserably.

I didn't laugh once.

It's brightly diverting enough most of the time to get it past its shortfall.

Top CriticIt's alive and risky and saucy.

Top CriticA surprising amount of the humor stems from well-drawn caricatures and cleverly seeded payoffs.

Top CriticCan't sustain its silliness, and resorts to a rushed ending that rudely brings reality into the picture.

The mood here is unfocused, relying on the coarseness of the Farrelly brothers as well as the forced sincerity of a Brady Bunch episode.

There just isn't enough material here to justify a running time of this length.
01/25/01
Devoid of anything that might resemble cunning or even moderately intelligent commentary.
01/25/01
It's painful to think that a high school crowd might actually flock to this irresponsible goofball comedy.
01/25/01
While there are moments of inspired lunacy here, the kookiness comes only in small doses, and it's all too often swamped by a sea of obnoxiousness.
