It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Something Busta Rhymes was singing about (and probably other musicians) ... but 90s references aside (which you know makes sense since the movie was made back then), this is a really good dark comedy. Not sensational and will not go down into the classic Hall of Fame or anything, but one of those movies you can watch and enjoy.Really nice cast too. Julie Benz is probably the one most recognize now, although Rose had a very "charming" TV role she could play with too. Apart from that, there is Judy Greer in a very different role ... for her at least. But she pulls it off. And I think she's pretty no matter what anyway. Not just another teenage movie then ...

Jawbreaker gave me the feeling of high school comedy meeting a exploitation b-movie, kinda like Mean Girls meets Death proof, or Heathers meets Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! I wasn't entirely wrong, even though I don't think I can compare Jawbreaker with either Death Proof of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Heathers is such a cult movie on its own, it's easy to compare Jawbreaker with it. Both involve bitchy high school girls, murder and dark humour.I find myself loving these kind of movies with black humour. They are stupid, absolutely, but for some reason they are absolutely hilarious. You just know people are going to hate the movie, and it's just part of the fun. The story is horrible yet so absurd it's almost funny. Of course the kidnapping gone wrong seems highly unlikely, yet it also feels plausible. I feel like I should be telling my friends not to try to kidnap me for my birthday. The characters aren't written so well, but they are fun. They are the typical archetypes of high school movies. Rose McGowan plays the most devious high school bitch I've ever seen in a film, and Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz and Judy Greer all pose as different kind of characters of the same type. I would've loved to see more of some characters, especially Vera Cruz portrayed by Pam Grier. When I saw her, I thought her part was going to be bigger. I was disappointed.The dialogue in Jawbreaker was just as good as in Heathers. It isn't actually realistic, because the language is extremely colourful, and no one would say several lines from this movie out loud because it wouldn't sound good in any context. But it works in a movie. There are so many details in this movie I love, but one thing I have to mention is the effects when the scene changes. Like the whole movie, they are stupid, but that's part of Jawbreaker's charm.If I had to recommend few songs from the soundtrack of Jawbreaker, I'd say Bad Word For A Good Thing by The Friggs and (Let the) Good Times Roll by The Cars. All the songs were well chosen and they worked. And some of the songs (especially the two mentioned) are like they could be straight from my music library. I love it when this happens while watching a movie.Jawbreaker is stupid but in a funny way. It's obviously dark, so if you have the tendency to get angry at the jokes being too dark for you to enjoy them, then don't bother. I love this film and I want more!Am I horrible if I wanted this to be more violent?

This film tells the story of a group of high school girls who are the spotlights of the school. Their birthday prank of kidnapping their friend goes wrong, and accidentally kills one of them. They go at length to cover their murder up.Right from the very beginning, we see the killing of Liz. The scene looking into the car trunk is very grotesque, and I'm still disturbed by the unsettling image. After that, the film tries to maintain a light hearted tone. The characters are interesting, especially Fern who makes such a great transformation from a shy and unnoticeable girl to a fully fledged attention lover. I like Julie as well because she's the voice of sanity and integrity. The terrifying teen when is a bit too much because she is so self centred that she could not see her grave mistake, and then does spine chilling things subsequently, which is quite sickening. Overall, I think "Jawbreaker" is a bit too morbid for a high school film.

I have seen lots of movies in my 42 years, but this movie Jawbreaker has something I find to be very odd.Isn't it odd that there there is a character named "Vylette" and also an actress in this film named "Vylette"? Of course, a movie could have a character named "Bob" and an actor named Bob, but with such an unusual name, Vylette, how can it be? I did a search, and unless I did it wrong, which is very possible, because I don't even get "Jawbreaker" as a hit when I search for a character named "Vylette", there has never been a movie with a character named Vylette.Am I getting the name wrong? If anyone knows how this came to be, please let us all know! Also, if anyone knows why "jawbreaker" doesn't show up in the search results when searching for movies with a character named Vylette, that would be appreciated as well.Thanks, Gary
