Summary: terrible terrible movie
Review: Even if you are in to the teeny-boper movies, you may not like this one. I was 16 when I rented it and I almost couldn't finish it. I don't know if I did. My boyfriend was even a little irratated that I'd ruined his evening by picking out such a lame movie. WASTE OF TIME! Only buy this movie as a gift for someone whose seen it and already really enjoys it or if you've seen it and like it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A total whatever teen comedy related to HEATHERS!
Review: Rose McGowan stars as Courtney Shayne, the most popular and beautiful teenager in high school along with Julie Benz, Marcy "Foxy" Fox who is Shayne's posse, and also Julie (Rebecca Gayheart), the leggy one, and of course Liz Perr who loses her life and is the main plot in this hot teen flick about betrayl and popularity! A prank brings the whole school to tears after a school queen is killed on her birthday accidentally swallowing a jawbreaker and now her girlfriends must cover it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Movie
Review: The plotline is female three friends (led by Rose McGowan) kill a fourth female friend and try to cover it up, then there is a witness (who is a nerd), so then in return for the witness's silence, they turn her into a popular girl. Eventually one of the three friends breaks away and wants to tell police the truth about their dead friend. Eventually as an added twist everything goes wrong when the now popular nerdy girl becomes more popular than the evil McGowan. This movie is only good for frustrated teen boys. Another thing that bugs me is that there is odd peppy music almost pornoish in sound and as you see on the cover everyone wears bright colors. This is the worst movie I have ever seen, and it is more like a T&A teenage fantasy than a suspense movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Something Went Horribly Wrong
Review: I wasn't expecting much from this movie ... I was just looking for some mindless fun. Uhh, no. It wasn't funny, wasn't creepy, wasn't even entertaining in a campy kind of way. The story makes no sense, the acting was atrocious and the whole high school situation was *completely* unrealistic. I kept expecting the film to get better, but it didn't. Rebecca Gayheart was the best thing about this movie (and - while I'm sure she's a great girl - that's saying something). Marilyn Manson's cameo is just gross. I like satires and black comedies (e.g. Ravenous), but this movie just left a sour taste in my mouth.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this stinks. it's that simple
Review: c'mon. if you want to see a flick that deals with cliques, and high school pranks and splintered friendships, then see the classic "Heathers". this movie tries so desperately to be something it's not. the script is horrible...the direction is horrible...the movie is horrible. get "heathers" and see what this movie wanted to be yet ended up falling flat on its face.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: A well executed movie, lots of clever dialog, good cinematography and excellent use of music. The story is arbitrary, but that is irrelevant.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Watered Down "Heathers" for the 90's.
Review: "Jawbreaker" is a Title, a Title looking for a Premise. It may have found a Premise, but someone should have been looking for a Script, cause this film could have used one. I had Heard the Excruciating Reviews, so I waited for video, I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't really dissapointed, but still, it's not a great movie, it's barely a good one.

The Three Stars, Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart and Julie Benz are all Great Looking, Funny, Charismatic young Actresses. It's a Shame they have to Spew such Lame Dialogue. McGowan is lucky enough to get a Few good Zingers in, but they're too few and far between.

Pam Grier has an amusing extended cameo as the Hard Nosed Detective who see's that something ain't right, and the Cameo by Marilyn Manson is Subtle but Effective and ultimately Vital.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome film
Review: The only reason I bought this movie was because Rose McGowan was in it. She played my favourite character in Scream and I was dying to see her in something else. So when I saw this in a shop for £6, I bought it. And am I glad I did! Rose McGowan was excellent playing Courtney. Rebecca Gayheart was good as Julie and so as Julie Benz as Marcie 'Foxy' Fox. I would recommend this film to anyone, so long as you can cope with several close ups of a greying corpse with a massive lump in it's throat. If you haven't done already, rent it out, especially if you're a fan of Rose. She really does give an excellent performance you won't be disappointed by. Well done Rose!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Cheesy Plot but really is a great movie!
Review: This movie really surprised me. The story about how a girl could get so upset with another's popularity that she decided to kill her with a jawbreaker seemed like such a corny idea. But my best friend reccommended it so I tried it anyway. Wow! It turned out to be one of those movies where little lines will pop into your head and stay with you. Rose McGowan played your ideal bad girl. I actually walked out of the theatre not taking to much of a liking towards her. It's got great music as well.

I definitly reccommend this movie's soundtrack so go look that up as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie!! A Must See!!
Review: This movie is the best movie I have ever seen! It's one of those movies you can watch 100 times and still love it! Even though it was sad what happened to Liz Purr the most popular girl at Reagan High, It was GREAT! I could keep write this reveiw and tell you how great this movie was, but I fix'n to sum it up. It was good! Go rent it and I promise, You'll LOVE it! Go rent it today. Don't forget the name,Jawbreaker!! :-)
