Review of Teeth (2000) by Alex M — 08 Dec 2009
Excellent comedy/thriller about an adorable and sweet high school girl, Dawn (played unbelievably by Jess Weixler) who believes strongly in saving oneself for marriage, but thanks to some shoddy luck, seems to only encounter males who are utter douchebags and chronically take advantage of her, despite her vow of purity. This shoddy luck, however, is counteracted by her amazing luck in having been born with a freakish congenital abnormality - Vagina Dentate (The Toothed Vagina).
I'm not really a feminist, but I do believe that it is a woman's perogative what she will and will not do with her body, and this movie depicts a girl living a lot of girls' dreams - using sex in order to punish men who treat her badly or take advantage of her (which serves the dual purpose of pleasure and revenge).
Original and fascinating screenplay, great acting and direction, and rad make-up and effects.
