Look, I'll be straight with you: this movie is a relic of early 2000s 'edgy' teen comedies that thought making the protagonists commit felonies was peak subversion. Pregnant cheerleader + bank robbery = comedy gold, right? Except critics hated it (30% on Rotten Tomatoes), audiences were meh (43%), and the ethical messaging is a dumpster fire.
The premise might sound quirky, but the execution is shallow, the humor hasn't aged well, and the core message—that crime is a viable solution to life's problems—is genuinely problematic. There's no meaningful exploration of consequences, responsibility, or growth. It's not offensive in a graphic way, but it's offensive in a 'why would I waste 90 minutes on this?' way.
If your teen is interested in early 2000s pop culture as a time capsule of questionable taste, maybe? But there are so many better teen comedies that are actually funny, smart, and don't require you to explain why robbing banks is bad, actually. Skip this one and watch literally anything else.
