I laughed. It had more character than Scream.
When I saw Jawbreaker I thought it was a fresh approach to revisiting the high school genre. It doesn't have to live up to the classics. It admittedly admires them. Jawbreaker shows some killer breakout performances from Rebecca, Julie, and Judy. And Rose will be immortalized for this role whether she likes it or not. (Tip: See it, because this might be the last time Rose performs one like this. She's soaring to stardom.) The young girls and guys, the fresh faces, not too much violence (I'm sick of teen movies that are overly gory), and hilariously creative dialogue make it well worth seeing. Be in the mood for high school-comedy-fun and escape to it. It's a movie, like a jawbreaker is a candy. I think that last scene at the prom will live in our memories as long as an everlasting gobstopper. GREAT stretched-out Rose faces. Classic! The screening I attended got a huge laugh, and people enjoyed it.
