Clever and fun, Jawbreaker is a dark satire about high school popularity. Three high school girls end up accidentally killing their friend when a birthday prank goes horribly wrong, and after one of their classmates catches them covering it up they buy her silence by promising her popularity and taking her into their clique. The film has a great cast that includes Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, and Judy Greer, who all deliver strong performances. And the comedy is fairly well-written, particular the satire of high school life. The soundtrack is also quite good and captures the youthful energy of the characters. However, the directing is kind of weak and some odd choices are made that create some unevenness in the tone. Yet despite a few problems, Jawbreaker is a unique black comedy with an interesting take on the struggles that peer pressure creates.

First of all, they are all too old to be high schoolers! The film is a Heathers+Mean Girls+ Clueless extravaganza. Rose McGowan saved the film with her stunning performance as the ring leader of the popular girls at Ronald Reagan high school. The girls were all very stereotypical like which failed to make the film more appealing. The stupid comic sound effects were the worst. Although I appreciate the jokes in the film, the poor production made the film a messy nightmare.

dark and biting satire, doesn't push the envelope but definitely attempted to be the successor to heathers. liked it for some reason besides all its flaws.
