Amusingly subversive, thanks to sharp writing and direction, by Mandy Nelson and Francine McDougall, respectively.
75
Fun in its raunchy unwieldiness.
63
A cheerleader spoof that starts rousingly, but ends up nearly as shallow as its easy-target subjects.
60
Goofy and inconsequential, but pretty damned cute.

Mandy Nelson's sugar-high bright-'n'-cheerful script takes a series of easy ways out, avoiding completely the prospective pitfalls of having to see any of these characters as complicated, contradictory, not entirely nice or identifiable-with -- actual human beings, in other words.
30
This ambiguously pitched comedy--its idea of sexy humor is a cheerleader farting--shoots for camp without bothering with satire.
20
Give the girls a cheer, but remember: "Bring It On" is still the poo, Missy. Take a big whiff.

"Sugar & Spice" almost redeems itself with a cleverly plotted third act. Almost. Sadly, the remainder of the film contains softball satire, half-baked gags, and stereotyped characters that leave too much to be desired.
