Synopsis
When Jack and Diane find themselves in an unexpected adult situation, the A-Squad comes to their rescue. In order to help their friend Diane, the A-Squad goes where no cheerleader has gone before: taking on a little after-school project known as bank robbery. But the A-Squad does things their way -- with sugar and spice -- forever changing their friendship, their future and the nation's notion of teen spirit.

Recommandations

L.A. Weekly
Any movie offering a Muzak version of the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop"warrants an immediate and unqualified recommendation. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
It's is not a great high school movie like "Election," but it's alive and risky and saucy. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Fun in its raunchy unwieldiness. - 63
Boston Globe
Isn't as dark as ''Heathers'' or as witty as ''Clueless,'' but it's at least pointed in that direction. - 63
USA Today
Ragged but with an appealing comic edge, the movie is certainly funnier than most of the other comedies that studios have tried to keep from critics until opening day. - 63
New York Daily News
A cheerleader spoof that starts rousingly, but ends up nearly as shallow as its easy-target subjects. - 40
The New York Times
The movie is full of scattershot gags and indifferent acting, but you get the feeling that it's bad on purpose, which makes it, given the number of teenage movies that are terrible by accident, not bad at all. - 40

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.
