Something Busta Rhymes was singing about (and probably other musicians) ... but 90s references aside (which you know makes sense since the movie was made back then), this is a really good dark comedy. Not sensational and will not go down into the classic Hall of Fame or anything, but one of those movies you can watch and enjoy.Really nice cast too. Julie Benz is probably the one most recognize now, although Rose had a very "charming" TV role she could play with too. Apart from that, there is Judy Greer in a very different role ... for her at least. But she pulls it off. And I think she's pretty no matter what anyway. Not just another teenage movie then ...

Jawbreaker gave me the feeling of high school comedy meeting a exploitation b-movie, kinda like Mean Girls meets Death proof, or Heathers meets Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! I wasn't entirely wrong, even though I don't think I can compare Jawbreaker with either Death Proof of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Heathers is such a cult movie on its own, it's easy to compare Jawbreaker with it. Both involve bitchy high school girls, murder and dark humour.I find myself loving these kind of movies with black humour. They are stupid, absolutely, but for some reason they are absolutely hilarious. You just know people are going to hate the movie, and it's just part of the fun. The story is horrible yet so absurd it's almost funny. Of course the kidnapping gone wrong seems highly unlikely, yet it also feels plausible. I feel like I should be telling my friends not to try to kidnap me for my birthday. The characters aren't written so well, but they are fun. They are the typical archetypes of high school movies. Rose McGowan plays the most devious high school bitch I've ever seen in a film, and Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz and Judy Greer all pose as different kind of characters of the same type. I would've loved to see more of some characters, especially Vera Cruz portrayed by Pam Grier. When I saw her, I thought her part was going to be bigger. I was disappointed.The dialogue in Jawbreaker was just as good as in Heathers. It isn't actually realistic, because the language is extremely colourful, and no one would say several lines from this movie out loud because it wouldn't sound good in any context. But it works in a movie. There are so many details in this movie I love, but one thing I have to mention is the effects when the scene changes. Like the whole movie, they are stupid, but that's part of Jawbreaker's charm.If I had to recommend few songs from the soundtrack of Jawbreaker, I'd say Bad Word For A Good Thing by The Friggs and (Let the) Good Times Roll by The Cars. All the songs were well chosen and they worked. And some of the songs (especially the two mentioned) are like they could be straight from my music library. I love it when this happens while watching a movie.Jawbreaker is stupid but in a funny way. It's obviously dark, so if you have the tendency to get angry at the jokes being too dark for you to enjoy them, then don't bother. I love this film and I want more!Am I horrible if I wanted this to be more violent?

This movie's get go leads spectator to think it'll be ANOTHER teen movie, given that atmosphere is much like every other teen movie. Some scenes after, I could see it was something else. Possibly inspired in 1996's "I Know What You Did Last Summer", this film tells a story about some crazy girls that accidentally killed their friend, so they try everything to cover that up. In fact, writers and cast made this movie not a teen one, but an adult version of the thriller I mentioned, so it's not a surprise for me to see how much teenagers disliked this picture when it was released. Also, it's strange/cool to see Rebecca Gayheart playing a normal girl, since it is hard to imagine her in a normal character, after what she portrayed in "Urban Legend". One of my few complaints is the lack of interesting plot to run 87 minutes-- this story could've been told in less than an hour. Besides, its final scene is almost identical to "Cruel Intentions"'s. Average movie, just to spend some time.

Jawbreaker is a teen movie about image, deceit, manipulation, and murder.The good. Very interesting story and characters. Nice intrigue. Well done evil plan. A teen flick with it's own dark-glamour style.The actors. Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, and Judy Greer are great. I have to mention though, that Ethan Erickson is hilarious in a straight face kind of way as the dumb jock.The bad. A bit over-glamorous, but it fits the flick. Serves us some clichés.The ugly. Zack is too simple a character.The result. A nice teen movie that can be watched by anybody considering the seriousness of the subject.
