this movie could have been a classic......


I think the cheezey sound effects are what held it back. A haunting feeling would suddenly be broken by a sound effect that didn't match the mood in the least it was a shame

Definitely a cult classic as far as teen comedies go.

Its a classic to me :)

The 'cheezey sound effects' are what keeps it as a comedy- it's a black comedy and a near flawless one at that. It's a classic late 90's teen oriented black comedy as far as I'm concerned.

In my book this flick is a classic.

I like it alot more then 'Heathers' (ok that is a whole other thread)

'Jawbreaker' is probably my favorite Black Comedy flick.

why does everyone compare this movie to Heathers??? because their both about bitchy high school girls? i see two good movies in their twisted way.

i love this movie, it is so hilarious. its MY own classic.

Honestly I think a nudity scene is what it was missing to be a classic, or at least a cult classic.

its def a cult classic. tons of people love this movie. including me <3

Class A classic in my book.

I watch it at least once a year and it has carried my love of Judy Greer since 2000. I view it as part of a high school trilogy along with Heathers and Mean Girls, both of which I love and also view regularly.
