Jawbreaker (1999)
5/10
This Is High School, What is A Friend Anyway?
30 June 1999
Jawbreaker. Most people would rather break their jaw than watch this film. I first watched this film on video and I was unpleased to say the least. Obviously Rose Mcgowen is good at playing the bad gal because she is a bad gal but even her performance is lackluster. You hate her but not because she killed someone but because you can relate to seeing someone like her in your high school. Thats the only good thing about this film. The fact that you can relate to the girls because they're in every high school. The stuck up snobs who think that the world bows down to them. The plot is as thick as a piece of paper. The most popular and kind girl in school is accidently killed when her friends kidnap her on her birthday as a joke. Now the new leader of the bunch decides to cover it up and make it look like someone else did it. Is It Original? Nope. Is it a good watch? No except for Rebecca Gayheart's performance, she gave a good showing portraying the hero. In The end this movie fails to live up to its potential.
