What to Know

Critics 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.

More like snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Go to Full Review Rick Groen Globe and Mail 12/23/2002
Of course, an unfunny comedy is hardly news. However, even by Tinseltown's impoverished standards, one so utterly bereft is something of a rarity, and thus perversely interesting. Go to Full Review Jeff Strickler Minneapolis Star Tribune 11/06/2002

The best thing that can be said about the Minnesota- made comedy Sugar & Spice is that there's no reference to the fact that it was made in Minnesota. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/13/2024
It's still got a sharp satirical bite to it and is ready for rediscovery. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 03/26/2010

thiago S @Thiagostone 3d Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 06/10/2025 Unfunny in 1 hour and 21 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $13,300,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 04/17/2025 Really bad. I could see where producers thought they might be able to get a campy teen romp here, but the writing and direction are so poor. The lead was also miscast, Suvari would have been better choice. Eye candy that will leave your brain in a diabetic stupor. See more Iamwhoi M @Shaboutiques 04/06/2025 Forgettable "comedy," with a decent soundtrack. The jokes fall flat. Very flat. Think of it as "Clueless" with much less charm. Good movie to fall asleep on.
