Sugar and Spice is a teenage classic along with American Pie and I know what you did last summer... It is more than a teen sex comedy or horor flick! It is about Cheerleaders..(a bad portrail) But Everyone I know loves it, and I know a lot...A LOT or people!!!...

What Parents Need to Know
About Sugar and Spice
Parents need to know that the dialogue is very graphic and raunchy. A typical comment from one of the girls is, "Just hoping we can finish this up before menopause sets in." One of the girls says she's not a virgin anymore because she had an orgasm while riding a horse at church camp. Another says that a picture of Jesus "made me hot." There is an explicit scene of an animal giving birth. The plot centers on a pregnant teenager. (She and the father are devoted to each other and to preparing for the baby.) Another of the cheerleaders is surprised that she is not the first to get pregnant -- her mother has the same reaction. One parent is in jail because she shot her husband for having sex with someone else while she was in labor. The girls buy guns and rob a bank with no adverse consequences.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the way that Diane shows responsibility, leadership, and organization. She is relentlessly optimistic but practical. When she sees the broken pieces they recieve from the gun dealer, she chirps, "I see a craft project!" The girls show a great deal of loyalty and resourcefulness. Unfortunately, these efforts are directed at robbing a bank, with no sense of any adverse consequences for the people whose money they are stealing. Diane does not feel that she can confide in Jack about their plans. What does that say about their relationship? Why does she feel that only she is capable of doing what she believes is necessary to help her baby? What other alternatives did she have? Parents may want to talk about how families should react if a teenager becomes pregnant. The movie's final twist shows another moral compromise that families may want to discuss as well.
