whoopee87 I'm a huge fan of teenage flicks from CAN'T HRADLY WAIT-like to BUFFY-like. it had occurred to me when i was eagerly finding such teen movies which can make me enjoying. i was not that sure by the time i got it first. but i was completely wrong when i turned on.first of all, the colors which the film shows are a real attraction whole time. jawbreakers, girls' clothes, retro sequences.... i just like it and was lured by it.acting is also fresh and Rebecca is so good...some scenes are really funny as hell...if u choose this as your teen movie, u won't regret, i bet.my overall : 8/10

moonspinner55 A group of ultra-hip teenage schoolgirls (from Reagan High!) accidentally kill one of their own in a birthday prank gone awry; they struggle to keep their deed a secret even after a nerdy student discovers the truth. Darkly comic tale, brightly-produced yet full of cynicism, has brief moments that go out on a limb, but is ultimately a rather formulaic "Heathers" knock-off. Holds interest nearly half the way, however the wrap-up is right off the assembly-line. It certainly benefits from a good cast, with the central performances by Rose McGowan and Rebecca Gayheart spot-on, however prominently-billed P.J. Soles, William Katt and Marilyn Manson hardly appear at all. *1/2 from ****

mario_c This film can't be taken too seriously; otherwise it won't be a nice movie. But if we see it like it really is, a teen black comedy, we can find it reasonably entertaining… Furthermore, a movie which has a quote like "she's so evil… and she's only in high school" can only be a spoofing one! Well, about the movie itself I think there isn't much to say, because it's a typical High School teen movie, about the also typical "awesome gorgeous girls which dress like models and control it all around, guys included" type. And for the "evil one", who would they choose? Rose McGowan, of course! She has such nice profile for that! She really has the face and the attitude to do the "evil b*tch" role. This movie is not the only one… But I like her as an actress. I think people who can represent such characters must be good actors! Anyway, this movie is nice if you don't expect too much

lost-in-limbo Three bitchy-teen queens who are the most popular students at school, lives change when they play a prank on a friend. It's a tradition to kidnap them each other on their birthday, but something goes horribly wrong when one of them puts a jawbreaker in her mouth and taped it and stuck her in the trunk. After getting to their destination they open the truck to discover she had chocked on a jawbreaker. Now they make this secret and try to forget, by planning out something to get them off the trail, so the police can't suspect them. But one of them falls out of the group's favour because she felt they should've went to the cops.Err; High School was such a joy, wasn't it? Actually, what I am saying, I didn't go through this, or even come across any type of people like this during high school. But then again this is set in an American high compared to something in Australia. A different type of social politics, I guess. Anyhow, I read that the flick took four weeks to shoot and originally the director intended the film to be a horror film, but it went into black comedy territory instead. To say it was a good one would be a bit of a stretch. Because it wasn't that funny, nor particularly compelling. I love my black comedies, but this failed miserably after the somewhat promising opening. For me, it was just another superficial teen flick that's masquerading as an edgy black comedy. It was more glossy, and sweet on the outside, but the context of this one-idea film was plain sour. Trashy indeed, but the whole irony just didn't come off. Yeah, its hardly awful to say the least, but the intended parody gimmick just didn't succeed, by working it into the usual formula, misplaced sentiment and high school clichés. Overall, the plot is just unconvincing and tame in the way it plays out. And for the climax, well actually it was better than expected. What went by the wayside were the smug characters, sure they're mockery performances… I hope so, but they were hard to connect with, even the ones with good intentions. Nothing interesting really about these characters that's for sure. Although, the performances run cold and hot. A bubbling Rose McGowan stood out as the ice queen of the group, plus there are some small roles from the likes of Carol Kane, PJ Soles, William Katt and Pam Grier as a tough police detective. Onto the cold, well Rebecca Gayheart as one of the leads and was rather uneventful. The dialogue rather snappy material, but other times it bordered on glamorous drivel. Indeed, it was mocking the way those stuck up snobs acted, but at times I was hoping for some more wit, or inventive humour instead. It's been done to death before. Since I'm on the negatives, uh how uncool was that editing? What was the deal with those ridiculous cartoon sound effects, especially during the editing sequences? Now what was good was that of the rocking soundtrack that pumped out some great tunes. Somehow I found it more spiritless even with it sugar, glossy approach. Now if only we could've seen the horror take that it was first going to be, gee I wonder what we would have got? From what I read it sounds like a wannabe "Heathers", a film that I haven't watched, but should do so from what I read and heard of it. The film runs for just under 80 minutes, which gladly it did because my interested was dipping in and out within that time. Nice idea to begin with, but not to long it falls into the tiring same-old-same-old category.
