Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Lame shock scenes, crucial plot points inserted without setups, and an unsuccessful attempt to exploit the camp value of some actors cast in minor parts are the least of the problems in this black comedy.

rotten:
The producers of this film, which depicts teen-age girls as an assemblage of negative stereotypes, are female. Can females practice misogyny?

rotten:
Only the soundtrack (the Donnas, Imperial Teen) and the irrepressible McGowan make it fractionally more bearable.

It's a tired lousy movie, a terrible twosome that deserves your heartfelt indifference.

Not quite a satire, not quite an homage, Jawbreaker falls into a third category: audaciously unoriginal.
