Heathers (1989) |
Reviews and Comments




"I love my dead gay son!"Post-Columbine, it's doubtful that a dark comedy about a trenchcoat wearing maladjust who takes it upon himself to rid his high school of jock bullies and mean, popular girls could ever be made. Which is a shame, because "Heathers" is even more relevant now than it was back in 1989.
This is not the typical '80's teen movie Cinderella story about an awkward, unpopular kid who somehow wins the affections of an attractive person way out of their league. Nor does it glorify violence as a solution to problems. It's a hilarious and unsparing look at the high school social hierarchy, well-meaning but out-of-touch adults, and how the news media drools like a dirty old man anytime the flame of youth is extinguished in an especially appaling manner. Anyone who remembers their own wonder years as being less than wonderful should be able to relate.




The Best Dark Comedy Ever MadeThe funniest and most entertaining teen movie/dark comedy ever made. Another good teen comedy is [[ASIN:B00029RTCG Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Widescreen Special Edition)]].
