Sugar & Spice

Sugar and Spice is a 2001 comedy directed by Francine McDougall. This film stars Marla Sokoloff (Dude, Where's My Car?), Marley Shelton (Pleasantville), Melissa George (The Amityville Horror), Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Rachel Blanchard (Road Trip), Alexandra Holden (The Hot Chick), Sara Marsh, and James Marsden (X-Men). The original script for this film was a dark comedy about murdering for money, but it was changed out of fear that the film was too close to another film, Jawbreaker. This film bombed in the box office.
