a dark comedy/crime, this film stars little knowns Rose McGowan, Judy Greer and Julie Benz, there was a third but i didn't really pay that much attention to the credits. this film had an interesting plot and a nice (maybe not "nice" but you get what i mean) take on high school politics, albeit unbelievable.when a prank on their perfect friend Liz goes wrong (Courtney -Rose McGowan- put a jawbreaker in her mouth on which she subsequently choked on), the 3 remaining friends try to hide the truth, Courtney convinces the other 2 not to got to the cops but the following events make things harder each time.
this movie, had pretty weak acting, which is a shame since it had such a great storyline, i still prefer Heathers (the murders and the characters were more interesting), this movie was clearly meant to be the Heathers of the 90's, and they tried. Heathers had a dark wit with better acting, this movie border lines psychotic at times(and not in a good way), but i'll give it this: the end was fitting, it had some good moments, but what drew it back was that you didn't care for any of the characters, it was obvious that Courtney was the villain so you needn't care about her! But Fern, for one was just such a tool! unlikeable characters aren't good, simple as that. its not that awesome but if you like Marilyn Manson (he has a very brief cameo) then rent this so you can spot him.
acting 2/5 story 4/5 originality 3/5(i can't get over the whole Heathers thing- which BTW is a better movie)
movie 3/5
not bad not awesome, just a good kinda enjoyable (if you like Mean Girls with murder), 2 hours on the couch
