DVD Synopsis

The directorial debut of Australian filmmaker Francine McDougall, this teen comedy stars Marley Shelton as Diane, captain of the Lincoln High School A-squad cheerleaders, the most popular girls in their school. They include born-again Christian Hannah (Rachel Blanchard), the rebellious Kansas (Mena Suvari), late-night talk show fan Cleo (Melissa George), and brainy geek Lucy (Sarah Marsh). When Diane learns that she's pregnant, she and her stud quarterback boyfriend Jack (James Marsden) get hitched and quickly learn that marriage with children is an expensive proposition. With some advice from Kansas' convict mom (Sean Young), the squad embarks on a plan to rob a bank, but their peppy enthusiasm and patented cheerleading moves may give them away to the authorities. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Francine McDougall's surprisingly charming cheerleader comedy Sugar & Spice comes to DVD with a pair of images. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame transfer. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible as well. Supplemental materials include a theatrical trailer, cast and crew filmographies, and some deleted scenes. Anyone with a DVD-ROM drive can access a script-to-screen comparison. This is a solid DVD release from New Line Home Entertainment. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Great movie, a favorite of mine for many years. It's a good movie to watch when it's snowing and blowing outside and you're stuck indoors. Just curl up on the couch with a warm blanket and a bowl of popcorn. Movie has some dumb humor, but it keeps your attention.
