The five have formed their own little clique, much to the chagrin of Lisa Janusch (MARLA SOKOLOFF), a cheerleader on the school's "B" squad. Things change, however, when Diane meets and ends up pregnant by the school's new quarterback, Jack Bartlett (JAMES MARSDEN), who gets a place with Diane and promises to marry her after their baby is born.
Unfortunately, without any credit or support from their parents, times become tight for the two would-be parents and Diane takes a job at a grocery store-based bank while Jack works in the local video store. As time passes and their financial situation doesn't get any better, Diane decides that she and her squad should rob the bank since she believes that money is the only way to achieve one's dreams.
As such, the girls begin plotting their strategy by watching old robbery flicks and buying guns from a local exterminator (W. EARL BROWN) in exchange for putting his daughter, Fern Rogers (ALEXANDRA HOLDEN), on their squad. From that point on, the girls must pull off the heist and then deal with the repercussions that may follow.
Various views of cleavage are present, as are some sights of the cheerleaders in their bras and panties, while a gynecological poster shows a drawing of a woman's genitals (seen in the background of a shot). Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including the cheerleading squad that decides to rob a bank at gunpoint to help out their pregnant partner. Since they get away with that robbery and make it look relatively easy and fun while doing so, some kids may think about imitating that, or other behavior that occurs in the film.
Several characters smoke, one drinks a beer and various instances of scatological-based material are present (vomiting, flatulence and menstruation related bits). Finally, some instances of violence are present, including the robbery at gunpoint (that's also seen in various videos the girls watch on TV). If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone in your home who wishes to see it, you may want to take a closer look at our detailed content listings for more specific examples of what occurs in the film.
