Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesWriter/director Darren Stein originally intended to write a horror film. When he started writing the script, he based it on a group of girls he went to school with who would kidnap each other on their birthdays and thought, "What if that went horribly wrong?" In the process he eventually realized that he was actually writing a dark comedy.
- GaffesWhen Liz Purr is abducted, she has her hands tied in front of her and is still alive when put in the car trunk. At that point, she was perfectly capable of removing the tape from her mouth and spitting out the Jawbreaker before choking on it.

Julie: Who the fuck are you?
[slams Courtney roughly into the locker]
Courtney: What?
Julie: They found some poor guy and they charge him with murder? What have you done, Courtney? What have you done?
Courtney: It's just what I had to do, dear.
Julie: What? Destroy another life, Courtney?
Courtney: Life's a bitch, then you die.
Julie: No, honey, you're the bitch!
Courtney: [leans in tauntingly] Oh, so aggressive, Julie! It kind of turns me on!
Marcie: I'm sure Fern likes it.
Courtney: Come on, Marce. This train wreck's getting old.
Where the earlier movie was intelligently malevolent, `Jawbreaker' is a surprisingly mean-spirited film. Its characters never rise above caricatures, making them difficult to empathise with. The journey of Fern `Mayonnaise' Mayo from school nerd the babelicious Vylette is hollow and unconvincing. Unlike Veronica Sawyer of `Heathers' who undergoes a similar transformation, Vylette seems to gain precious little wisdom from her experiences. Perhaps this has to do with the nails-on-a-blackboard performance of Judy Greer, who seems to believe she is in a John Waters film. This would be fine, if `Jawbreaker' could decide whether it is one or not.
A lazy and sometimes implausible script hanging uneasily between reality, satire, and surrealism offers some clever one liners and sequences, but does little to showcase the talents occasionally on offer. Rose McGowan is the most enjoyable thing about the film for the simple reason that it's clear she isn't taking proceedings too seriously. Rebecca Gayheart's performance is also refreshing; a puddle of reality within the screeching teen-stereotype world around her which throws Judy Greer's Fern/Vylette into even higher relief. Both act as if they are in a better film.
Perhaps the real difference between the two is that `Heathers' had heart and actual insight. `Jawbreaker's heart is as hollow as the view it espouses: it's bad to murder your friend, but it's worse to be a b*tch.
