Review of Heathers (1989) by Keith M — 09 Jun 2012

There's the rich kids, jocks, stoners, loners, nerds, and then there's the Heathers. 'Heathers' skews all the cliques there are in high school and makes you wish they didn't exist. It mixes dark comedy with high school drama and works perfectly because everyone wishes that the jock asshole or queen bee bitch would just disappear.

But 'Heathers' by far exceeds our expectations, and makes fun of the subject of death without making it seem like an awkward funeral. The dialogue between Veronica and Heather Chandler is very funny alone because it lies on the verge between deeply poetic and completely perverted, which is what almost every high school student talks like; if it was all put into metaphor.

Overall, you feel all the emotions that Veronica feels towards Heather Chandler and can relate to her completely which ultimately works. Cult classic.
