Review of Heathers (1989) by Steven H — 17 Aug 2012
One of the greatest dark comedies of all time--long before the now, almost daily school tragedies and psycho nut jobs--Christian Slater's JD tops them all. A love story that will reverberate throughout the ages.
The truth about high school, bullying, the caste system of popularity, and those who rule the school are all skewered in this delightful romp. Homicides staged to look as suicides and the popular just keep their status even after death.
Great performances by Christian Slater, Winona Ryder, and Shannon Doherty. This film is filled with great memorable quotes. One of my favorites: Heather says to Veronica- Transfer to Washington. Transfer to Jefferson.
No one at Westerburg is gonna let you play their reindeer games.
