Los Angeles Times
Wickedly hilarious. [19 Feb 1999] - 40
Washington Post
[McGowan's] serene psychopathology is the movie's most consistent pleasure, and to see her is to both love and fear her. - 38
Chicago Sun-Times
A slick production of a lame script, which kills time for most of its middle half-hour. If anyone in the plot had the slightest intelligence, the story would implode. - 38
Chicago Tribune
It's not particularly funny or trenchant, and its portrayal of noxious high school cliques never amounts to more than was shown in "Heathers." [19 Feb 1999] - 30
Variety
The strongest dimensions of this self-conscious but centerless film are four sexy actresses parading in colorful costumes and Amy Vincent's radiant lensing, which makes the picture seem hipper than it is. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Jawbreaker has all the heart and soul of last week's mystery loaf (a dish that made the weekly rounds at my alma mater, sadly). And like that unidentifiable bovine by-product, the film is a chilly, messy anti-treat, sweet on the outside, sickly on the in. - 30
Washington Post
Why sit through a lesser imitation, when you could just rent "Heathers" and those other movies for a far more enjoyable time? Drop-dead bitchery? Been there, done that. - 25
Christian Science Monitor
Unoriginal.
