They are at the height of their popularity when an innocent birthday prank accidentally kills Liz, the sweetest member of the clique. During their panicked attempt to cover up the murder, the class nerd, Fern Mayo (Greer), stumbles upon them. In order to keep Fern quiet Courtney offers to make her popular, and the results are a dark, comical Faustian tale of corruption, redemption and makeover madness! Sony Expand.
In what was meant as a harmless birthday prank, three of Reagan High School's most popular girls, Julie, Marcie, and Courtney pretend to kidnap their friend, the latter shoving a jawbreaker into the victim's mouth to keep her from screaming. Their plan goes awry when the girl accidentally swallows the jawbreaker, choking to death.
The cool and calculating Courtney tries to cover the crime but is found out by school geek Fern Mayo. In return for her silence, Courtney transforms the gawky Fern into the stylishly beautiful Vylette, leaving the conscience-stricken Julie out in the cold, threatening to set her up for the girl's murder if she breaks her silence. What happens when you take the movie 'Heathers', sprinkle on some 'Clueless', and add a pinch of 'Carrie'? Well, you get the phat movie Jawbreaker, a good movie which really lets Rebecca Gayheart and Rose McGowen shine like the stars they are! The movie itself is somewhat true to the lives of teenagers-there was always that incredibly exclusive group of kids that NOBODY but NOBODY could be good friends with. Well, this movie lets us see into one of these groups.and what lies underneath is totally rotton.
The series, based off of the 1999 film of the same name, features a clique whose world is turned upside down by an accidental killing at a bachelorette party. Does anyone remember MTV doing a special the weekend the movie came out called 'Jawbreaker: No Candy Ass Special'? The popular African American VJ at the time interviewed the cast and showed some clips (as MTV often did with new teen movies around that late 90's period). Does anyone else remember watching? It's the one thing I can't find on YouTube!

Rose McGowen is a total witch, much to the dismay of Rebecca Gayheart.who has to solve the puzzle of Courtney's scheme after her character Julie is tossed from the clique. The ending is pretty memorable.reaching back to it's roots of Carrie. Speaking of Carrie.P.J.
Soles is in the movie, as well as the cool Carol Kane (When a Stranger Calls). I really enjoyed the movie as did my friends. A laugh-a-thon that doesn't try to take itself TOO seriously, and remembering that is a good thing.
Oh, and Rebecca Gayheart is grrrreat!
