Sugar & Spice (2001)
3/10
Laughs are Tarnished by Homophobic Remarks
30 April 2001
Sugar and Spice is actually a pretty funny movie. Sure it's stupid, mindless, and unrealistic, but it does have a few parts that are truly laugh-out-loud funny. These rare gems are tarnished, however, by the film's many homophobic remarks. A male cheerleader is called "fag" repeatedly, Kansas has a fit and when she thinks her mother has a girlfriend in prison and calls her a dyke, snide comments are made about the group of close-knit girls being lesbians, among other things. That kind of stuff just isn't funny. Sugar and Spice's cheap-shots against gays and lesbians aren't necessary and, in fact, ruin an otherwise cute film.
