Movie Review: fantastic teen comedy send-up!
Summary: 5 Stars
JAWBREAKER is a fantastic homage to the classic horror films of the 70's and cult high school films of the 60's.Three bitchy teen queens (Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart and Julie Benz) are thrown into a frenzy when a birthday prank backfires and they accidentally kill a close friend, a jawbreaker mercilessly lodged in her throat.
Enter the hopelessly dorky Fern Mayo (Judy Greer) who stumbles onto the real reason behind the mysterious death. The girls have no option but to win the girl's silence, and include her in their circle of elite, but not before changing her image and her name...to Violette.
Featuring veteran comedienne Carol Kane and legendary "blaxploitation" star Pam Grier, JAWBREAKER is a superb film, written and directed by the talented Darren Stein.
The DVD includes director's commentary, interviews and behind-the-scenes, music video "Yoo Hoo" by Imperial Teen and the trailer.
Movie Review: "Satan in heels" described it best
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I ever saw Rose McGowan was when the previews for this movie came out. I was blown away, and looked for her other movies ASAP. Honestly, this isn't the Doom Generation, which is the best movie, in my opinion, for watching Rose at work, but you will have a lot of fun watching her in this one. Jawbreaker does not pack the punch of The Doom Generation, probably because this movie had a wide release and had to satisfy censors, etc. It's more of an eye-candy type of movie... getting to see Rose in a very glamorous role, an in-control queen pulling strings and keeping everyone around her on an edge between laughter and terror (the lunchroom scene, "I'd better never have children..." is priceless). On the socially-redeaming front, she "only" kills one person in Jawbreaker, much less than her body-count in Devil in the Flesh.Movie Review: This is Such a Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this at my friend's house and it was hilarious. Not only were the girls extremely hot, but the story was hilarious.
Courtney in particular was cool. My brother says I'd be her if I was a girl. But, since I'm not, I'll settle with marrying her. I feel bad for Julie though. Her life took a bad turn, but so does Courtney's at the end. I like the ending of the movie, it was good.
Even Marcy turns away from Courtney in the end. Too bad for Courtney. When she's talking to Vylette at one point on the phone, she says "Courtney Shane is priority number 1". That was hilarious.
No clue who that band is at the prom, but their music is cool.
All in all, good movie. Don't watch if you're offended by sex, cussing, smoking, drinking, or teenage infatuation, though. For everyone else, GET IT!
Movie Review: Almost broke my jaw laughing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most outrageous films this year and far outshines the more recent teenage comedies such as "She's all that" and "10 things I hate". What would you do if you murdered your best friend by accidentally choking them with a jawbreaker and were caught by the school nerd?..Why offer them a make-over of course!! And this is the theme of the movie but "You can't hide the truth with a make-over". It has been compared to "Heathers" in past reviews but I'm so sorry folks, because there is NO comparison, and as much as I love that movie, "Heathers" is the shadow and "Jawbreaker" is the sun!! It contains one of the wittiest and original screenplays and if you've a sick sense of humor you'll lap this up with a desert spoon!!! See it!!!
