Double Feature
Jawbreaker
Death totally bites. When a trio of Reagan High’s teen queens accidentally kill their friend in a prank-gone-wrong, they’ll do anything to keep their secret. But when the least popular girl in class stumbles onto the truth, they’ll enlist her in their clique to buy her silence. But a transformation from timid wallflower to campus goddess could upset the school’s power dynamics and create its own complications. Darren Stein writes & directs a stylish satire with bratty bite. Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, and Julie Benz headline with Judy Greer in her star-making role. With Carol Kane as the principal and Pam Grier as the detective putting it all together.
