Review of Heathers (1989) by Matt M — 02 Feb 2012

'Heathers', a high school comedy of sorts, takes the genre by the back of the head, thrusts it in front of a mirror and says, calmly but aggressively, "You look ridiculous." Brilliant, masterful use of every cliche imaginable is the order of the day for this film, which makes it a film buff's delight.

However, this won't be one for the casual movie night. The film appeals, almost exclusively, to the bad-comedy-ophile and as such may go over the head of the casual audience.

Seen no end of bad, formulaic teen comedies? See it. If not, maybe it won't be to your taste.
