If I could make a list of he top 10 Teen movies ever made this would be on it! This is a perfect example of black comedy which is dark, Twisted and very FUNNY! The characters in this film are amazing and Rose McGowan is Fantastic as one of the meanest bitches ever Courtney Shane. Julie Benz was also great as the sly and deadly airhead Marcie Fox and Rebecca Gayheart is amazing at good girl Julie who struggles to deal with what happened to her best friend but Can't spill the truth for fear of what courtney will do to do her. The film basically centres around Courtney(Rose McGowan) Marcie(Julie Benz) Julie(Rebecca Gayheart) & Liz(Charlotte Ayanna) who are the most popular girls at Reagan High School who on Liz's 17th birthday pull a prank on her and they tie her up and put her in the trunk of the car but once they open it up to surprise her Liz is dead. Desperately frantic on what they should Cold hearted Bitch Courtney wants to cover it up and make it look like rape whereas Julie being a good girl wants to tell the police about it. However when nerdy outcast Fern Mayo(Judy Greer) uncovers them Courtney makes a deal with her that she will make her popular like them in exchange for her silence about what she saw. This film is a fantastic, funny, cool and enjoyable dark teen comedy that is worth you watching because it is fantastic. 10/10

I'm a huge fan of teenage flicks from CAN'T HRADLY WAIT-like to BUFFY-like. it had occurred to me when i was eagerly finding such teen movies which can make me enjoying. i was not that sure by the time i got it first. but i was completely wrong when i turned on.first of all, the colors which the film shows are a real attraction whole time. jawbreakers, girls' clothes, retro sequences.... i just like it and was lured by it.acting is also fresh and Rebecca is so good...some scenes are really funny as hell...if u choose this as your teen movie, u won't regret, i bet.my overall : 8/10

I only watched this because of Rose McGowan (Grindhouse). I guess if i watched Charmed, I would know her, but Death Proof was my introduction. I thought she was so cool, and she was in this film also. It may have been a campy film about high school, but she was just so interesting.I remember Carole Kane from "Taxi" - boy, does that date me! I always like to see her pop up and she did a great job in this film also.Pam Grier played a police detective and I always like seeing her. I'll be checking her out next in Bones.It's a forgettable film, but it was funny and worth watching just to see some of the cast.

Jawbreaker;; There's always that group at rule the school. At Reagan High, it's the foursome, Courtney, Liz, Marcie and Julie. The plot is set in motion on the morning of Liz's birthday, when Courtney, Marcie and Julie break into her house, shove a jawbreaker in her mouth and lock her in the trunk. But their harmless prank goes horribly wrong when they discover Liz has choked on the jawbreaker. The rest of the running time involves the girls trying to cover up the murder and bribing a nerd to keep her mouth shut.I am a fan of teen movies and black comedies. Assuming Jawbreaker falls into both of those genre's I was expecting to adore the film. The problem with 'Jawbreaker' lies in the fact that the conflict is set into motion within the first 5 minutes, leaving the rest of the film running of low gas. But it offers enough one-liners, laughs and style to make up for the flaws.Performances are good around, and a keen sense of the bitchy high school girl stereotype is cleverly constructed here. After all, everybody has a Courtney in their life. She's the girl who loves to be feared, and MCGowen does a great job pulling her persona off.3 from 4.
