Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter/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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
Featured review
Brainless, dull teensploitation
Halfway through Jawbreaker, there is a scene where Julie (Rebecca Gayheart) recounts to her new love interest the horrible chain of events that led to the accidental death of her best friend. As Julie haltingly and painfully confesses her sins, we see a series of shots virtually identical to the expositional set-up that opened the film. This made me angry because filmmakers should know better than to repeat information already known by the audience -- but this is the least of my complaints surrounding Jawbreaker. The one-dimensional characters, the simpleminded connect-the-dots script, the annoying wall-to-wall music, and the unintentionally hilarious comeuppance of evil Courtney (Rose McGowan) at the prom all succeeded in producing a splitting headache. What little joy I took away from my experience was provided by Marilyn Manson in an effective and all-too-short cameo, and The Donnas, who gamely rocked through a few numbers as the band playing the Reagan High School prom.
