Jawbreaker (1999)

Darren Stein directs Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart and Judy Greer in this teen movie about vapid popularity and kidnapping pranks gone wrong.

Very much a poor man’s Heathers. But I am undeniably a poor man. A poor man who fancies Rose McGowan. Jawbreaker has the bubblegum palette of Clueless but a tenth of the budget. There are lurches into experimental arthouse camp. Humanity is grazed by all the cartoonish misanthropy. Yet it also feels like a passion project that got lost in the edit.
