Jawbreaker (DVD) ... complement to Michael Lehmann's majestically spiteful late-80s teen black comedy Heathers, Jawbreaker invites us into the immaculately turned-out and deeply, deeply venal world of a quartet of high-school princesses led by one Courtney Shayne (Rose McGowan)--or "Satan in heels", as she's known to her peer group. The only thing is, Courtney's gang don't stay a quartet for long after the one vaguely likeable member of the group, Liz (Charlotte Ayanna) dies following a malicious birthday prank executed by her caring, sharing girlfriends. (All we can say is that it involves the titular hunk of candy.) Triumphantly convincing the world Liz was, in fact, the victim of a serial killer, Courtney gets on with ruling school with a manicured iron fist--except she didn't bargain for the sudden discovery of a conscience by her lieutenant Julie (Rebecca Gayheart), or the rumbling of her plan by class geek Fern Mayo (Judy Greer). In truth, no matter how badly Jawbreaker wants to be Heathers, there's little of the sharp, acidic wit or satirical glee which Lehmann brought to the table in the earlier movie--just a sticky and a faintly unpleasant aftertaste. That said, there's a certain cartoonish vibrancy to the proceedings, however predictably they unfold, and if McGowan's Joan Crawford Jr shtick as the vampish queen-bitch Shayne hardly extends her range as an actress, it's an accomplished piece of type-casting. --Danny Leigh

 ... Inside" In the end "Jawbreakers" is semi good, because it hold a semi pleasant ending. The trip getting there, however, is unbalanced. I hate it when you are viewing a movie and you are mostly thinking.. "Well that part of the movie would have been cool if..." This movie had me thinking that all over. Much of it was kinda cool but going no where. So in the end I was more relived that it ended. There was some pleasant things in it. For me the best part was watching Rose McGowan. She looked hot and s...more

Premium Review Jawbreaker (DVD): Jawbreaker (1999) (755 words)

"Death By A Cute Asphyxiation" Jawbreaker is a teeter totter between serious and delirious. On the right hand, you have a crisp delivery of dialog. Yet, on the left hand, you get an unrealistic story that borders on a totalization of irrelevance. Its a movie that does just enough.. to not suck. "What is the movie about ZeN?" This movie began as a quasi-harmless b-day prankster like joke. 3 of Reagan High's most elite and popular ladies(Julie played by Rebecca Gayheart - Foxy who is played by Julie Benz - Courtney played by the always alluring Rose McGowan) pull a fast one on another of their fellow ...

Premium Review a tasty sweet that left a bitter aftertaste (221 words)

This film is a comedy which starts with three girls 'kidnapping' one of their friends a s a birthday surprise, they tie her up and stick a jawbreaker in her mouth, things go pear shjaped when the girl dies, the class geek overhears what they have done and as the girls are extremely popular they welcome her into their fold providing she keeps her mouth shut. Can she cope? will she survive?? do we care??? I really wanted to enjoy this film, after all it starred rose mcgowan carol kane AND pam grier. The overall film look is that of a cartoon with loud and brash sets, a good soundtrack and fast editing. The acting is fine but the film is supposed to be ...

Jawbreaker (DVD): (JAWBREAKER) THE MOVIE ..........Yawn - Breaker (457 words)

IN England, there was so much speculation as to this film coming out and I was anxious seeing it. Oh dear, what a waste of time. Okay, the typical black - teen- comedy that was funny in parts, but its one of those movies that should have gone straight to the video section, rather then infiltrating the movie screens. I got it off Pay-per view and it was a bit disappointing. It had the typical teeny boppy exterior, where there are a group of girl dominating the school with an air of arrogance, fashion taste and beauty where they can't talk to unpopular people due to the 'cruel politics of highschool.' - Rose MaGowan. But don't ...
