Spork
A colorful and foul-mouthed feature musical comedy. A film about a frizzy-haired, pink-cheeked outcast named Spork who is trying to navigate her way through the annals of junior high. When a school dance show provides a chance for Spork to show up a mean girls gang, her trailer-park neighbor steps up to coach her with some 'booty-poppin' moves. Featuring a vintage '90s soundtrack (that includes 2-Live Crew, JJ Fad's 'SuperSonic,' Dimples T's 'Get It Girl'), a score by Casey James and the Staypuft Kid; and extended school hall dance sequences, Spork is a film about standing out and fitting in.

Never feels authentically out-there because it still more or less toes the line of every teen comedy from Welcome to the Dollhouse to Mean Girls.

A laboriously quirky, low-fi coming-of-age comedy that's basically a gender-inverted rip-off of Napoleon Dynamite, plus a few bells and whistles, and minus the tater tots and actual humor.

"Glee" has a helluva lot to answer for if it was in any way responsible for this irritating teen mess.

Ghuman might have managed to salvage the film from its weak script if he'd had a firmer grasp on tone, and a better melding of the mish-mash of pop culture references.

Proof positive that hermaphrodites are people deserving of Hollywood endings, too!.

A potty and potty-mouthed junior-high school musical that is by turns both energetic and slack.

For all its poignancy, "Spork" never loses sight of its goal to be zesty, sharp-witted fun.

A quirky, imaginative and outrageously funny little movie that will speak to more of us than any of us would like to admit.

As uplifting stories of tolerance and self-discovery go, "Spork" has a messy appeal, but it's no "Hairspray."

Camp often means a lack of feeling and generalized disdain; not so in "Spork," which has as much heart as "Sixteen Candles."
