Summary: The ultimate teen film of the 80's
Review: We all remember those cliques in high school, you know the snobby kids who had it all and made those outside suffer and of course we always wanted in. Heather's came upon the scene and opened up the doors of dark comedy to a whole new generation of MTV vidiots. The film is very morbid and the subject matter is quite shocking but the direction of Michael Lehmann is well played and the portrayals of the students involved come across most effectively. This film really does speak out to so many of us who went to school and felt left out. A film that really does end in a bang!

Summary: What's your damage, Heather?
Review: It's one of the most quotable movies of the 80s, but I hadn't seen it since middle school. It was listed @ Amazon as one of my film recommendations so I decided to purchase it; I watched it just the other night and I had completely forgotten how many phrases from this film had become part of our high school lingo. Some gems include, "F**k me gently with a chainsaw!" or "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?" or "Greetings and salutations (with a notable Christian Slater/Jack Nicholson tone)" or "Great pate but I've gotta motor if I'm going to be on time for that party" or "Dad: Why do I smoke these things [cigarettes]? Veronica: Cuz you're an idiot. Dad: Oh, yeah." The 80s are well represented in the characters' lingo and dress, but even more so is the underlying theme of stepping on the little guy to get to the top. The 80s was certainly a selfish decade and this film captures that feeling very well with the microcosm of an American high school. Just as in life, if you off the top dog another (probably more vicious) dog is bound to step into place. Although this film is 95% funny, the remaining 5% is a powerful, slightly gruesome message about society. Enjoy the laughter but don't forget to think.

Summary: What word would best describe it? Oh yes... FUNNY!
Review: I laughed the entire way through the film. Yes, it did have its serious points, and yes, it DID deliver a meaningful message. However, it also had some of the most clever, satirical, and darkly funny dialogue of any movie in the last 20 years. My favourite running joke is: (Veronica's Dad) "Why do I (smoke, etc.) these (cigars, etc.)?" (Veronica) "Because you're an idiot." (Veronica's Dad) "Oh, yeah." (Veronica's Mom) "You guys." (Veronica) "Great (patê, etc.). I've got to motor if I want to make it to that (funeral, etc.)."Oh, and remember: If it's a thick blue liquid, DON'T DRINK IT! :O)

Summary: Lick it Up Baby.....Lick it Up.
Review: This very well could be one of the best high school movies of all time. "Heather's" is a great satire of the high school experience. And, it's FULL of the best lines in any movie. It's a right of passage for all high schoolers and you won't met a 20's something that hasn't seen it, and can't resight dialog, word for word. It's got a great cast, cool music, and it's a non-stop ride of fun and twists. A total MUST see.

Summary: best 80's movie ever! Just about perfect!
Review: This is a great social satire...definitely original, daring, and most of all--fun. Winona Ryder and Christian Slater are great, and Shannon Doherty delivers a fun performance, sort of an anti-Brenda. I definitely recommend this film to anyone with a sense of humor!!!

Summary: The HEATHERS Have Never Looked Better.
Review: This Digitally Remastered VHS Letterboxed Collector's Edition is a lovely gift. Anchor Bay Entertainment has recently revived some long-lost titles in its library and, thankfully, they have restored the prints to the proper format. No more EP videocassettes! I do feel I should clarify, however, that this VHS edition does NOT have clamshell packaging. Rather, its front cover opens to juxtaposed messages from scripter Dan Waters and director Michael Lehmann. For $13.99, this edition of HEATHERS is quite the bargain. For starters, it is 100 times more worthy than the DVD format release. Anchor Bay does well in its VHS territory, but its DVD format releases are problematic. The special features rarely work and my DVD player has actually refused its discs before. What is also nice about this edition is its inclusion of several theatrical trailers (far too many!) and promotional interviews with lead actors Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. Too bad these recorded sessions couldn't have been digitally remastered; they haven't aged well. As for a previous reviewer's joy at the absence of Molly Ringwald in this 1980s black comedy for the teen set, she is way off the mark. Molly Ringwald was hardly featured in every '80s teen flick--just the good ones. Just what, exactly, is she overjoyed at? Christian Slater in a '80s teen pic is supposed to be a relief? I don't get it. Let us leave Molly's good name untarnished, OK?

Summary: A Cynical and Twisted Tale
Review: This movie was creepy in a good way. I loved watching Veronica give sarcastic and twisted view on the Heathers' ruling of the school. I also loved the way that Christian Slater played a romantic yet utterly insane guy bent on helping her get bitter-sweet drain-o revenge. Watch the movie and you'll see whatI mean. I reccommend it to all of those who get sick of happy little pay-back movies and want something more like a dark comedy.
