Summary: Fun Movie!
Review: This movie was meant to be taken lightly and fun! I bought it mainly because I am a huge Rose mcgowan fan, and I LOVED it! Rose is a great actress and she carries the film great. It's a great under rated "Teen" movie with an awesome soundtrack!

Summary: Jawbreaker
Review: It's funny because my friends and I had an inside joke with this movie. I got to be Courtney. This movie is really.. different. In some ways it is predictible, but it also shocking. Even just describing the beginning would be giving too much away. It is a funny look at death, popularity, looks, and friendship.. Whoever said 'nice guys finish last' obviously didn't see this movie..

Summary: What You Do With Your Candy Is Up To You.
Review: This movie tries to be a modern version of "Heathers" and fails pretty badly. Just like a jawbreaker - flaky once you sink your teeth in, and just as hard to get through. Rose McGowan is the only one even trying here and she deserves better material than this. It's billed as a comedy, but there's really nothing to laugh at except some glaringly huge plot holes. I will give the film credit for being eye-candy colorful - how sweet - maybe the director should be a production designer instead.

Summary: A highly entertaining dark comedy
Review: I can understand why some people don't particularly like this movie, but I enjoyed it immensely. Of course, I enjoy anything featuring Rose McGowan, but the movie itself is actually a lot of fun. If you tend to take movies seriously and have trouble suspending your disbelief, this movie isn't for you, and a short description of the movie should easily convince you to take your cinematic interests elsewhere. I happen to like over the top movies about high school life, and Jawbreaker takes the stratification of high school society, something we are all acquainted with in one form or another, and runs with it. Rose McGowan plays Courtney Shane, considered by some to be "Satan-in-heels." She is your ultimate clique queen, operating the controls of high school popularity and approachability with the help of faithful and reliable henchbabe Marcie Fox (Julie Benz) and two goody-goodies who somehow manage to stay cool despite hobnobbing with their social inferiors from time to time. Rebecca Gayheart (who finds herself in the odd situation of being rather invisible whenever McGowan shares the screen with her) plays Julie Freedman, and she is in fact complicit in the unusual death of Elizabeth Purr, sweet little angel and fourth member of the ruling babes of Reagan High School. Courtney, Marcie, and Julie celebrate Liz's 17th birthday by disguising themselves, sneaking into her room, tying her up and gagging her, throwing her into the trunk of their car, and eventually releasing her to enjoy the hilarity of their innocent little prank. Wouldn't you know it, something goes awry. The insanely large jawbreaker that Courtney stuffs in her mouth before taping it closed manages to work its way down Liz's throat. With their friend dead, the three girls must take action quickly to avoid detection; Courtney is a natural at evil plotting and quickly enacts a plan. Unfortunately, class geek Fern Mayo happens along and overhears the big secret, prompting Courtney to take drastic action; in return for Fern's silence, she will transform Fern into the beautiful, popular girl she has always wanted to be. Julie wants no part of it, but her own guilt and complicity leads her to do little more than go schoolmarm and reject her evil friends. This movie does raise issues about high school life, but it does not attempt to make some meaningful statement . The common stereotypes are presented but not dwelt on. Those who would not understand how nice, sweet Fern could be enticed into going over to the dark side were obviously not among the nerds and geeks of their own graduating class. Even though Courtney was hated as much as she was loved, the vast majority of her peers wanted to be like her, immensely popular, beautiful, intimidating, and awe-inspiring. Sure, she is selfish, evil, and uncaring, but that's part of her charm. I personally prefer her to Julie, who pretends to be something she is not and blames Courtney alone for an act she herself played a large part in. Don't even try to think about this movie; you're not supposed to learn anything here. This is entertainment and nothing more, and I for one was greatly entertained. The ending leaves a little something to be desired, but all in all this is a marvelous dark comedy. Rose McGowan makes this movie cool all by herself, but the kicking soundtrack is more than ready to assist in this endeavor whenever called upon, which is quite often. The music is almost a character in and of itself, beautifully assisting in the creation of whatever atmosphere is required for each scene, and its incessant energy never allows for a moment of drag as the story works itself out. There is quite a bit of profanity in the script, and it is this much more than Rose McGowan's all-too-brief yet sizzling nude scene that earns this one its R rating. I seem to take delight in praising movies of this type, and I take great delight in praising this one. Jawbreakers is a very entertaining dark comedy.

Summary: Stupid ! Stupid ! Stupid !
Review: I can't believe how very stupid this movie is. The plot was bizzare as heck, the acting was awful. Well at least the chicks were hot, but unless you are 12 that won't matter. Don't waste your time

Summary: A rare combination of stupid and mean-spirited
Review: This might have been semi-entertaining had the writers backed up the rather tired premise with some strong punchlines. But snide doesn't necessarily mean smart, as the screenplay amply proves. Not even the beautiful Rose McGowan (the only reason the movie deserves 1 star) can save this mess. And the music by the Donnas is beyond irritating. One of the worst films I've ever seen.

Summary: Bitchy Movie
Review: A movie about three witches putting a "Jawbreaker" into their friend's mouth while she's asleep and accidentally killing her. Original! Yeah, right. This is Rose McGowan's kind of movie. ... I wish Pam Grier pulled a "Foxy Brown" on all of these 'girls' rears. Not funny, not cool. For the mindless folk only.
