Movie Reviews of Teeth
Movie Review: Teeth:The Ultimate Chick Flick!
Summary: 3 Stars
Teeth is the story of a young girl with a slight abnormality in between her legs. While the blood and the gore are VERY good and the acting done surprisingly well, the story starts to get old before the movies over. Its like hearing the funniest knock knock joke you've ever heard...then hearing it 15 times in a row. Its great at first, but then by the end your kinda over it.
Overall, I would have to say if you are a blood and gut kinda person, you ought to watch this sometime. I payed 7 or 8 bucks for it, and thats not a bad price for it, plus, there are a lot of special features so I guess I would recommended this film to most horror fans...Especially female horror fans! Haha!
Summary of Teeth
Dawn (Sundance award winner Jess Weixler) is a pretty but prim high school virgin who unknowingly has a set of mutant teeth between her legs. When a supposedly likeminded boyfriend forces himself upon her, Dawn's vagina dentata start chomping -- which is just the beginning of "the most twisted story of female empowerment ever told" (DreadCentral.com).A coming-of-age tale with a twist, Teeth takes a novel approach towards teen sexual angst. Sunny blonde Dawn (Jess Weixler, a Meryl Streep in the making) promotes abstinence at her high school. Her mother (Vivienne Benesch) is terminally ill, her half-brother (Nip/Tuck's John Hensley) is a tattooed sociopath, and her stepfather (Lenny von Dohlen) does what he can to keep the household together. When Dawn meets doe-eyed transfer student Tobey (Hale Appleman), her celibacy vow is put to the test. Simultaneously, she starts to realize her anatomy differs from other girls. Though Dawn's Austin environs recall the serene suburbs of Donnie Darko--except for the ominous smokestacks behind the family's ranch house--her secret power brings her closer in line with Carrie. It's a particularly feminine capability. When Carrie felt threatened, she used her mind as a weapon. In Dawn's case, a certain physical anomaly comes into play: the vagina dentata of ancient mythology (Camille Paglia, author of Sexual Personae, served as a consultant on the film). At first, Dawn has no control over the situation and, like De Palma's anti-heroine, she's horrified. But actor-turned-director Mitchell Lichtenstein (Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet), son of artist Roy Lichtenstein, ends his debut on a very different note. Along the way, there's satiric humor, squirm-inducing gore, and a star-making turn from Weixler, recipient of a special prize at Sundance for her "jaw-dropping performance." Teeth is neither anti-male nor anti-female--as some detractors have claimed--but it's definitely not for the squeamish or irony-impaired. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
