To celebrate an inner-circle birthday, three of the group
decide to kidnap their pal and scare the living willies out
of her.
Sounds good, but when the queen of queens, Courtenay, (Rose
McGowan) inserts a gobstopper (jawbreaker) into the mouth
of the victim before gagging her, things turn from sweet to
very sour.
Deadly, in fact, as the poor lass swallows the large sweet
and chokes to death on it.
The survivors then agree, albeit two reluctantly, to make
it look as if the poor dear has died during an S&M session
that has gone wrong.
Things hurtle downhill from there. Jawbreaker is definitely
a teen movie - filled with a pounding soundtrack and some
truly spunky women (the blokes are hunks but are very much
bit players) - and anyone over the age of 18 will have trouble
taking any of it seriously.
But, having said that, it is worth watching if only to see
how the queen B gets her just desserts in the end.
