"And Your Worst Enemy"
Excellent Dark Comedy.. I love this movie religiously!

I hate three star reviews.
Daniel Waters had fun nailing the lingering hostile fantasies of High Schoolers. There is a spark of brilliance to it. Christian Slater's character begins as a composite over-the-top iconoclast who has become the embodiment of the teenage rebel. Winona Rider is quite charming in her role as the trapped socialite. And the film builds a lot of capital by cross-polinating 1950s aesthetics with 1980s vernacular. To many, this meant the film was "brilliant", Tim Burton included as he chose Waters to write Batman Returns.

But as the first hour lapses into the second, the satire deepens and loses its initial shock factor. Lame plotting and the deflation of the character's promise drags sinks the entire affair. Slater turns out to be a boring nihilist and Winona winds up a mish-mash of righteousness and mushy sentiment. The ending (and entire subplot) with the fat girl is plainly offensive, and ends Heathers on a god-awful insincere note. But Heathers gets high marks for its brilliant satirical touch and pre-Smells Like Teen Spirit visuals.

Waters tried to works his same magic with Batman Returns, to devastingly awful effect. His inablitiy to faithfully pay homage to a genre while at the same time employing his grating comedic tendencies made for one thoroughly unpleasant Hollywood blockbuster that few watched twice.

Cutting Edge to the Extreme
The 80s totally rocked, with laid back teenagers who were a little wild, a little care free. Who doesn't love that? Especially when it's in a movie like "Heathers". This black comedy is totally wild, in a very great way. It's unlike any other movie I've seen, everything about it is very special. The language, the situations, the attitudes and actions of the cool but bizarre characters.

Veronica (Ryder) is a really great girl, but she is "best friends" with the Heathers. The 3 most popular girls in school, all named Heather. Veronica hates her friends, they are complete snobs. She even wishes Heather #1 would DIE.
Veronica meets the wild and crazy JD, and she falls for him. With two extraordinary characters like these, there's bound to be trouble.
One accidental (well, sort of accidental) death leads to a series of other deaths, all poking fun at the serious issue, teen suicide. Fall in love with the crazy Veronica and JD as Veronica tries to stop their crazy ways.

Laugh your butt off at the lines used in this cutting edge film. Believe me, you have NEVER heard or seen anything like it. You may even pick up a couple of crazy lines you hear in this movie, I know I sure do. Have fun watching these crazy and bizarre scenes that will make you laugh and say "Wow" at the same time.

"Heathers" is a movie that is ahead of it's time, teenagers can relate to the characters, it pokes fun at serious issues.. but it is 100% hilarious. Loosen up and watch "Heathers".
