Jawbreaker (1999)
1/10

Anyone who doesn't like this movie is a jerk. So what if it's not as good as "Heathers" or as original. Not much else is. "Heathers" is a classic, and it seems like every subsequent film dealing with bitchy high school girls is unjustly compared to it. I really like "Jawbreaker" and I have good taste in movies. I know what I'm talking about. I'm no fool. If I say I like "Jawbreaker," it means something. "Jawbreaker" is a strange, dark, arty teen thriller/comedy that

obviously isn't as mainstream as other teen fare of the late 1990's, and never intended to be. Perhaps mismarketing is to blame for it's critical and financial underperformance. I really don't think it's bad at all. It's funny and smart in a lot of ways that really surprise me. I know that sounds terribly vague, but whatever. I know what I like, and I like this movie. If anyone disagrees with me, we can take it outside.
