How did you see Jawbreaker?


I just checked out the movie in a video version because I liked Rose McGowan and heard the movie's really good, and it's true! lol you?

"Ohh! My baby " "Hey, let's go freak out Mrs. McCluskey! "

I saw it in the theater. With my grandma. Awkward.

I'd just seen Scream a year or so before & had a teensy girl-crush/obsession with Rose McGowan. The movie's not particularly original, but it is stylish and fairly entertaining.

I used to watch it on Pay-Per-View after it released on VHS. I saw it countless times because they showed it over, and over, and over.

I remember renting it from blockbuster. I fell in love with it ever since :)

I was a sophomore in high school and went and saw it with a group: a couple of girlfriends and a few guys including a guy that I had a huge crush on at the time (who I later ended up dating for severeal years and we ended up having a child together after high school. No longer together but still friends) Anyway, it was kind of our first 'date' I guess and I remember him holding my hand during the movie and having that giddy schoool girl "Ohmygod, he's holding my HAND!" feeling. lol.
I liked the movie, owned it on VHS and watched it quite a bit in high school. Haven't seen it in awhile but I'm sure I would still like it now, if nothing else just I feel like it would 'bring me back'...



It's just like Gandhi said, "A smile don't cost nothin', Sugar"

I saw it on TV when I was in junior high school (around 2002 or 2003) and thought it was hilarious. It's stupid, yeah, and intentionally campy, but the story and the stylistics of it just draw you in. It's like it takes place in its own high-school-movie universe, except there's a dark bent to it. I remember going to the store to look for the DVD awhile after I saw it and my dad bought it for me. It's nostalgic.

I first saw it 10 years ago, in March 2002, on the USA Network. My Grade School class went on a Field Trip to Mount Kato that upcoming school week, as I remember thinking about this movie on the bus. I enjoy watching it on TV to this day. They still play it occasionally in the Mornings on FX and whenever they do I'm always happy about watching it.

Yes, that was it, USA Network!

I remember channel surfing and just barely catching the part where they shoved the jawbreaker in Liz's mouth. From that point I was hooked.

They had a really great ensemble. Whomever was responsible for hiring the actresses did an excellent job. I loved Judy Greer as Fern/Vylette.

I saw it in theaters when I was in middle school, needless to say, I sneaked into the film lol.

I thought the film was great back when I saw it and I still think its great. I just saw it a couple days ago and I still think its a pretty good movie. I don't understand why people think its such a horribly made movie. I thought the cast was good, the story and overall picture.

I just finished watching Heathers because so many people claim that Jawbreaker is a complete rip off of Heathers, but I'll like to say that I strongly disagree with that. Heathers and Jawbreaker are both very different films. Jawbreaker by far has a better story line, better acting and better picture.

I rented it on VHS. Wow...
