Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter/director Darren Stein originally intended to write a horror film. When he started writing the script, he based it on a group of girls he went to school with who would kidnap each other on their birthdays and thought, "What if that went horribly wrong?" In the process he eventually realized that he was actually writing a dark comedy.
- GoofsWhen Liz Purr is abducted, she has her hands tied in front of her and is still alive when put in the car trunk. At that point, she was perfectly capable of removing the tape from her mouth and spitting out the Jawbreaker before choking on it.
- Quotes
Julie: Who the fuck are you?
[slams Courtney roughly into the locker]
Courtney: What?
Julie: They found some poor guy and they charge him with murder? What have you done, Courtney? What have you done?
Courtney: It's just what I had to do, dear.
Julie: What? Destroy another life, Courtney?
Courtney: Life's a bitch, then you die.
Julie: No, honey, you're the bitch!
Courtney: [leans in tauntingly] Oh, so aggressive, Julie! It kind of turns me on!
Marcie: I'm sure Fern likes it.
Courtney: Come on, Marce. This train wreck's getting old.
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.
