Product Description: A deadly sweet birthday prank leads to cover-up by makeover in this edgy and unpredictable comedy. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/23/2004 Starring: Rebecca Gayheart Julie Benz Run time: 87 minutes Rating: R Director: Darren Stein
Amazon.com: Rose McGowan vamps it up mercilessly as the "Satan in heels," a teenage-bitch queen whose birthday prank gone terminally wrong leaves her best friend dead, choked to death on a jawbreaker the size of a fist. Rebecca Gayheart, with her sparkling eyes and a smile that could melt an iceberg, is the good girl at heart who becomes a social pariah when she drops out of the group, trading her plunging necklines for librarian-lite sweaters and long skirts. Jawbreaker wants nothing less than to be the Heathers of its generation, but only intermittently hits the mark, such as when McGowan turns a mousy nobody into the next big thing, a slutty tease whose craving for attention soon challenges McGowan's supremacy. "She's evil," someone finally realizes, "and she's only in high school!" That's unfortunately the best Darren Stein's film gets. For all its catty talk and surface glamour, it's a flat, broadly directed satire that never lives up to its evocative title. Features an appearance by teen rock punks the Donnas as the prom band. --Sean Axmaker

Rating: - Bad girls
I did enjoy this movie, was fun to see the girls going way too far with a joke and then what they did trying to cover it, has sexy pretty girls,good looking guys and 'yes' a prom night.
Rating: - Great MOovie Alert!!
This movie is a great movie, it's very funny and has the classic 'highschool mean girls' in it. If you liked Clueless or Mean Girls, you would love this movie. Not everyday a girls friend kills her by accident ... Read More
