Well, yeah, but, for sure, narly, FINISHED thats the best thing I can say about this movie. Certainly there had to be some social comment deemed from this movie but Ill be kicked in the fanny if I can figure it out. Stay away from ps ...
Pros: Parents' cluelessness is actually somewhat endearing; great lines (even when profanity-scrubbed-for-TV). Cons: Parents' (and other adults') cluelessness or CARE-lessness; whole concept; today's high-school world
By now a whole generation knows the story: Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) is the darkly-pretty high-school girl Trying to Keep Up With the Heathers of Westerburg High: golden-poisonous queen-bee Heather Chandler (Kim Walker, who--possibly ...
Pros: Script, acting, direction. Cons: Some people are bound to find the humor offensive, perhaps rightfully so.
Veronica (Winona Ryder) was a pretty average high-schooler until she was adopted into the world of “Heathers.” The Heathers (Kim Walker, Lisanne Falk, and Shannen Doherty) are the three most popular girls in the school—all impeccably...
Pros: Great plot, acting, dialogue Cons: Too violent for kids
I remember watching this movie in 8th grade for the first time and being completely disturbed. Then I watched it again and again with my friends at slumber parties and the like. I am still disturbed by it, especially now that we live in a time where...
Heathers may have been the answer film to high school angst films such as Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. As in those films, there are jocks, geeks, and jaded but popular pretty girls.
Pros: Good lesson, well done Cons: lesson horribly horrible protrayed, Christian Slater didn't die quick enough
I'm surprised that in all this Columbine Madness (which only spurs more shootings) that the media blamed movies like Natural Born Killers and video games like Doom (it's only often considered the best game ever) while completely overlooking this movie....
Pros: darkly funny, entertaining Cons: a bit freakish if taken seriously
Before there was Jawbreaker or Clueless or other teen high school movies about the 'inner clique', the genre of movies which got to be oh-so-popular in the ninetees, there was The Heathers. In this case, our inner clique consists of three Heathers...
Pros: Sharp dialogue, a great ethic, gorgeous black humour. Cons: Occasionally the pacing is off, a couple of the scenes seem a little politically 1985, but other than that ... enjoy ...
The film that started my slow and steady movement into fully corporately sponsored faux-rebellion is as wonderful today as it was a thousand years ago in my youth.
Westerburg High School is full of the standard arrangement of student cliques....
Pros: ......hold on, I'm still thinking... Cons: not funny, too cute for its own good, too over the top...
From what I gather, many people consider “Heathers” to be a brilliant, dark, edgy comedy. I’m not one of them, but I think I can see where they’re coming from: 1989. Yes, the film is dated, and in a big way. But enough of my cynical yakking, let’s get...
Pros: Memorable dialogue, ridiculous scenarios, and a whole new way to play croquet Cons: Can someone PLEASE get Christian Slater to stop being Jack Nicholson?
When I was in high school, my friends and I watched this movie at every single party. It was pathetic, really, but we were just so amused with ourselves and our ability to recite whole paragraphs of dialogue to each other. And now, for your reading...
Pros: great cast, hysterical plot, Christian Slater. ;) Cons: Possibly too close to reality these days. :(
In this post-Columbine era, -Heathers- might seem a bit, well, extreme, but back in the days when the idea of blowing up your high school over your angst was merely fictional, this movie was both hysterical and theraputic.
Pros: a funny, dark comedy that is one of my favorites Cons: an absolutely HORRIBLE underuse of the capabilities of DVD
This is a review of the DVD release of "Heathers".
"Heathers," starring Christian Slater and a very young Wynona Ryder, is a classic dark comedy. Anyone who has grown up in a public High School can identify with this film,...
Pros: Great dark comedy. Cons: May be a bit morbid.
This is my all-time favorite comedy. Yes, I have a very dark sense of humor but so must many other people because this is one of the most popular cult films to come out of the late 80's. I have watched this movie probably about 200 times over the last...
Veronica seems to have it all. She is pretty, smart, and part of the most popular clique at Westerburg High. The catch is, Veronica secretly hates her friends, the "Heathers" of the title.
