Definitely not as good as Jawbreaker
I just rented this movie because I'm a HUGE fan of Jawbreaker and thought this would be interesting, but was slightly disappointed. Jawbreaker had an artsy feel to it with interesting shots and awesome music while this sort of felt like Mean Girls with a "GBF" added into the mix. It was funny at times and it was kind of brave, but I couldn't get over the annoying dialogue whether it was intentional or not. The way the characters talked made me want to throw my remote at the TV. I feel like no teenagers talk the way they did. Of course, I'm not blaming the director Darren Stein but the writers. And yeah, I understand this is a completely different movie than Jawbreaker but I just wish the director did something cooler than this after a 15 year hiatus (not including the short he made.) I'd still recommend this, but if you're a fan of Jawbreaker don't expect it to be similar at all.
