Excellent. Chilling. Heartfelt. Grotesquely beautiful.

Fun is personally my favorite film. This is a risky film to stand by with a claim like that, but in my opinion Alicia Witt has never been greater and before taking on more fun, low brow roles, proved herself an incredibly gifted actress. Bonnie's psychosis (or perhaps unsettling lack thereof) is brought to life with a combination of intensity and whimsy and like similarly antiheroic characters leaves us questioning where we are morally. You cannot advocate the behavior, but there's a potency to the role that makes you almost excuse it in your weaker moments. Renee Humphrey is an interesting counterbalance to Witt in that sympathy is easier to find with her character, though I must admit that the personal magnetism is most visible in Bonnie. To quote Bonnie, "Fun is number one".

Excellent movie, Well worth hunting down

I thought this was an excellent film and I was surprised to find out how little-known it is. What's best about this movie is that it can be extremely disturbing and yet very believable at the same time. It shows what two minds are capable of when they become obsessed with each other. I would also have to say that there was nothing sexual about the girls relationship (as hinted at in the plot keywords). They just had an intense understanding of each other which allowed them to get dangerously close, but not sexual. Excellent acting, intense drama, I gave it an 8/10.

He made what?

It's hard to believe that Rafal Zielinski, the guy responsible for bargain basement sleaze like "Screwballs", wanted to make a movie like "Fun". The movies don't exist on the same plane of reality. "Screwballs" featured characters with names like Jerkovski and Purity Busch. "Fun" is a gritty true crime drama, actually based on a true story.

This is not to say that "Fun" is a masterpiece. It is bolstered by its two unfettered performances from Witt and Humphrey as two motiveless, remorseless teenage killers. However, the best thing that I can say about the direction is that it gives these actresses the space they need to do their own thing.

"Fun" is a must-see for fans of true crime, but anybody else can probably skip it.

what happened to the girls in real life?

I liked the film and I may know something that many of the other commentators don't know. The film had the standard disclosure at the end noting that any similarity to actual events is coincidental. But it was anything but coincidence. The actual event happened around 20 years ago in Auburn, California. After knocking on numerous doors, the two teenage girls literally talked their way into an elderly woman's home and killed her. And one of the girls wrote in her dairy "we killed an old woman today and it was lots of fun". The girls were sent to the California Youth Authority where they could have been held until their 25th birthday. One of the two girls continued to make the news by fighting with the woman guards and telling them she would come back to get them after she got out. But does anyone know if the two girls went on to live productive lives after finally getting out as adults??

Lack of supporting talent kills it

I could not get into this film, which bothered me as the two young actresses playing the leads were extraordinarily good. However, the whole flashback structure required the story to be told to two supporting actors in 'current' time, neither of whom seem like they have any acting chops whatsoever. "Jane" and "John" are such caricatures that any scene involving them feels incredibly false. The flashback sequences are excellent -- except for the victim, who is also a terrible actress -- and those are compelling enough to make the film worth a look. I gave it a 5. Shame on either the producer or the director for the casting decisions involved. Alicia Witt is especially good in this.

If you want to see the same theme dramatized much more effectively, see "Heavenly Creatures".

Curiosidades
This film was based on the real life events of two teenage girls in 1983 who killed an elderly woman in Auburn, California after they had just met for the first time at school and cut classes to go on a irresponsible spree leading up to the murder... all over the course of one afternoon.

Citações
John: Meanwhile, I think the story's coming along pretty well.
Hillary: I don't give a shit about your story!
John: Why?... You could be helping a lot of other girls. Did you ever think about that?
Hillary: It doesn't matter what happens to us. People who shit on their kids are not gonna' stop. Something makes them do it. Everybody knows it's wrong, but they do it anyway... And I'm not unhappy. You know, even in here, sometimes I laugh so hard I... I can't stop.
John: Doesn't mean you're happy. There're a lot of different kinds of laughter.
Hillary: [Looks off into the distance] Yeah, I like the kind at the ocean... when a giant wave comes pounding down on you, and you think it's gonna' crush you, but then it breaks and comes down and sends you crashing to the sand... that's when you get up and laugh. That's the kind of laugh that makes you know you're alive.
Hillary: [fidgeting slightly] You know, it's like cavemen. I bet nobody ever had to remind them that they were alive. Every day they killed for food, or they starved, or they froze to death... but, I swear to God, I'm sure they laughed a lot better than most people today do.
