While having a group of teenage cheerleaders rob a bank is an interesting and different idea, this satire's one major flaw is its character writing. "Kansas" (Mena Suvari) and "Lisa" were the only characters that came across as believable. The leads, "Jack & Diane" (named for the John Mellancamp song?), are star quarterback and head cheerleader respectively, yet their characters are merely airheads living a gooberful life. James Marsden, who plays "Jack," portrays his role well when compared to his big role as the serious, pragmatic Cyclops in "X-Men." Moreover, the characters who fill the roles of the brain and the Christian girl are completely antithetical with what they are supposed to be.
All in all, while this film has a good plot, good satire, and plenty of sexy gals (*sigh* Mena ), the characters are annoying and completely distracting.
