Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Factual errors: There are two stacks on the horizon repeatedly shown with black smoke belching into the sky. In some scenes, the stacks are covered with soot. The problem is that these stacks are really water cooling towers, same as what's used in a Nuclear power plant. They would only emit water vapors either transparent or white depending on the weather conditions and temperature. They also would never have black soot on the outside as they could never emit any smoke. more

Watch out sleaze-bags: Dawn will chew you up and spit you out!, 12 May 2008
9/10
Author: BA_Harrison from Hampshire, England

Quirky; offbeat; bizarre; demented: however you want to describe it, Teeth, by director Mitchell Lichtenstein, is certainly different, taking the age old myth of 'vagina dentata' and bringing it to life in the form of beautiful high school student Dawn (the lovely Jess Weixler, who is extremely talented and should go far).

Subconsciously, Dawn is aware that she is different to other girls, and this has lead her to be afraid of her own sexuality. So far, she has successfully avoided mutilating males by taking a vow of celibacy until marriage, but when she takes a shine to fellow 'abstainer' Ryan (Ashley Springer), her resolve begins to weaken. Accompanying Ryan to a local beauty/make-out spot, she inevitably finds herself in a sexy clinch with the apparently not-so-innocent young man, but decides, at the last moment, to stick to her guns and not go any further. Ryan, however, has other ideas and proceeds to force himself on the poor girl.

Big mistake! Seconds later, Ryan is clutching a bloody stump where his manhood used to be—Dawn's voracious vagina has claimed it's first victim!

After a little research on Google, and a thorough examination (by a gyno who wishes he'd been a little gentler with his probing), it finally dawns on Dawn that she now needs to floss in two places. Still, an extra pair of gnashers seems to come in handy, since the comely lass has a knack of trusting the wrong type of man: slime-balls desperate to get into her knickers (even her own step-brother Brad, who was bitten on the finger by Dawn's nether regions as a kid, wants a piece—although he is now understandably afraid of female genitalia and tends to opt for back-door action!).

Teeth has taken a lot of flack from critics who claim that the film is unfair to men—that it is a pro-feminist movie which depicts all males as misogynistic sex-pests deserving of castration. Personally, I couldn't care less how us guys are portrayed in the film because I had far too much fun with the whole twisted concept: any film in which a girl graphically chews off guys' junk with her privates is a 'must-see' in my book!

8.5 out of 10, rounded up to 9 for IMDb.
