If Saturday Night Live ever did a theme show, it might look something like this Jim Carrey comedy, which is less a movie than a thinly connected series of sketches all riffing on corporate scandals and the resulting unemployment. There is some clever social satire here, but only in fits and starts, and never toward

This airheaded cheerleader movie tries to be Clueless, director Amy Heckerling’s wise and witty high school spoof, but it ultimately comes off as lower-case clueless, especially whenever the dialogue tries to mimic “hip” teen talk (“Missy’s the pooh,” captain Kirsten Dunst admiringly says about one of her teammates. “Take a big whiff.”) Eventually, the movie
