Plot

A 14-year-old girl nicknamed "Spork" is unpopular, mistreated by her classmates, and very soft-spoken. Her next-door neighbor and best friend, known as "Tootsie Roll", is planning on entering the school Dance-Off to win $236 which she would use to visit her father in prison. During a hair-product-related dancing accident, Tootsie Roll injures her ankle and can no longer compete in the competition. Spork rises to the occasion and surprises the whole school by signing up for the Dance-Off.

Spork and Tootsie Roll listen to hip-hop songs from the early 1990s and wear 1990s fashion, yet the antagonist, Betsy Byotch, and her friends wear 1980s garb and listen to 80s music (though they are also fans of Britney Spears). The character of Charlie is obsessed with Justin Timberlake, whose career began in the mid–1990s. There is also a mention by "Betsy Byotch" that there are pictures from a few years ago of "Loosie Goosie" circa 1998. The use of the term "hermaphrodite" rather than "intersex" as a qualifier, including as a personal identity, also seems to imply a 1990s setting.

It is mentioned throughout the film that Spork and Charlie are obsessed with The Wizard of Oz, though Spork's love is for the 1978 film, The Wiz, and Charlie's is for the 1939 The Wizard of Oz.

Critical reception

Spork received mixed reviews from film critics. It received a score of 50% from Rotten Tomatoes.[1]

gollark: I don't get why we even have indices. Low-level details like that are a relic of the past when we had to consider "memory allocation" and "choosing data structures" and "performance".Enter the glorious future. Just use persistent linked lists or hashtables.

gollark: Fibonacci indentation is better.

gollark: What happens if one library has offset 0, one has offset π and one has offset -1.6?

gollark: Do not have arrays. Only have hashtables, indexable by strings.

gollark: I have a better solution again!
