Sugar and Spice is a 2001 teenage comedy film directed by Francine McDougall and starring Marla Sokoloff, Marley Shelton, and Melissa George. The movie, which was written by Mandy Nelson, follows a group of high school cheerleaders who, out of desperation, decide to rob a bank.

The story begins with the sweet and innocent Diane (Marley Shelton) getting pregnant by her boyfriend Jack (James Marsden), who is a star football player. When Jack's parents find out about the pregnancy, they cut him off financially, leaving Diane with no choice but to find a way to support herself and her unborn child. One day, while watching TV with her mother, Diane sees a news report about a group of women who robbed a bank. This inspires her to come up with a plan for her own group of robbers.

Diane recruits her fellow cheerleaders to help her pull off the heist.

Together, they work on perfecting their plan, which involves disguising themselves in masks and costumes, stealing a cop car, and using their cheerleading skills to get past the bank's security system.

As the girls prepare for the robbery, they face a series of challenges and obstacles, including a test of their loyalty when one of them becomes a police informant. They also struggle with their own personal issues and conflicts, such as Lucy's crush on Jack and Cleo's rivalry with Diane for the title of captain of the cheerleading squad.

Despite the difficulties, the girls finally execute their plan and successfully rob the bank. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when one of them accidentally shoots and kills a security guard.
