Description of Jawbreaker:
Rose McGowan vamps it up mercilessly as the "Satan in heels," a teenage-bitch queen whose birthday prank gone terminally wrong leaves her best friend dead, choked to death on a jawbreaker the size of a fist. Rebecca Gayheart, with her sparkling eyes and a smile that could melt an iceberg, is the good girl at heart who becomes a social pariah when she drops out of the group, trading her plunging necklines for librarian-lite sweaters and long skirts. Jawbreaker wants nothing less than to be the Heathers of its generation, but only intermittently hits the mark, such as when McGowan turns a mousy nobody into the next big thing, a slutty tease whose craving for attention soon challenges McGowan's supremacy. "She's evil," someone finally realizes, "and she's only in high school!" That's unfortunately the best Darren Stein's film gets. For all its catty talk and surface glamour, it's a flat, broadly directed satire that never lives up to its evocative title. Features an appearance by teen rock punks the Donnas as the prom band. --Sean Axmaker

2009-09-24 - Everyone should have this movie in their collection.It's like a mixture of ditzie..ness like Clueless,that mean girl attitude like Mean Girls and an eerie horror feel to it like ummm....i dont know maybe Rocky Horror Picture Show(somewhat)but over all I think most people would enjoy this movie.From the name and the cover I figured it was going to be another little teen movie,I was soooo wrong because as soon as it starts your hooked,its like you'll be sitting there going OMG!! whats gonna happen next?Its a great movie and the shipping by the way...really fast like 2 days.Get this movie you wont be disappointed.
Rose McGowan truly shines
2009-02-15 - This movie is definitely a favorite of mine. I have watched this movie numerous time and it never gets old. Rose McGowan is iconic in this role and was born to play Courtney... the rest of the cast does a solid job too. This movie not everyone will enjoy but I know many who do or would if they gave it a chance. Proud to display in my collection. As far as cult favorites go this one takes the cake. If your looking for a oscar movie look elsewhere but if you looking for an enjoyable way to kill a few hours check this out!!!

2009-01-06 - It's really hard finding old movies in stores, but so easy on amazon. I didn't have much luck finding this in stores so looked on Amazon and found it for a great price as well!
great movie
2008-12-22 - this is a funny and interesting portrayal of gender roles in teenage society. Very insightful and entertaining!
