I was so stoned when we watched this movie that all I remember is my friend saying “Marlyn Manson! He’s here!”
1999 was a golden year for teen comedies, this one feels more rebellious and stylized than it’s competition, which lets it stand out easily.
Pretty solid film. Super underrated and underappreciated in my opinion, but it's kind if of a hidden gem of sorts and I like it that way.
A film that was obviously trying to be Heathers but stands on its own
Some poorly aged moments (why is marlyn manson in this ??) but overall fun film
Quite a memorable film, stands apart from your average 90s teen movie
Not the best but def entertaining, kinda similar vibes to heathers on some level.
Not the greatest movie ever but very fun to watch when you’re bored
Big time loved this, it’s like Clueless and Heathers combined. Super bitchy, super shady, super drama. We love.
Really similar to clueless and Heathers. I expected it to be lighter, but it was pretty dark. No matter what I still enjoyed watching it :)
