The initial idea of this movie (bank robbing cheerleaders) seemed funny to me when it came out but it then received mostly bad reviews so I decided to wait for cable. I finally saw it today and was surprised how smartly written the film was. Instead of making a film with a bunch of dumb blonde stereotypes the screenplay reverses the traditional roles of males and females and the result is sharply satiric.
My one criticism would be with the curious way that every character who has a Southern dialect in the film (which doesn't however appear to discernably take place in the South) is portrayed as either violent, dim, unwashed or all of the above. Why trade destroying one stereotype only to promote another? Overall, though, pretty clever and big props for focusing heavily on one of the most witty human beings to ever walk the earth: Mr. Conan O' Brien! . 6/10
