Review of Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker (1999)
3/10
Pretty but vacuous comedy that tries to pass itself off as a latter-day HEATHERS, but is really a half-assed retread of PRETTY IN PINK.

What emerges is a CARRIE-esque revenge tale unbridled with any imagination, wit or remotely interesting characters. Still, the production design and energetic performances by Rose McGowan and Rebecca Gayheart (as the repentant good girl) almost make JAWBREAKER worth seeing...
