Review of Teeth (2008) by Triquetra4715 — 14 Jan 2016
Teeth achieves something rare by being funny, yet not at all quotable.Many of the best moments are non-verbal, and even the verbal punchlines would fall flat without the atmospheric lead-up. A cautionary tale about poor sex-ed, a monster movie, a teen romp, a coming of age, and a quirky comedy are all somewhere within Teeth, but cannot be separated from each other.
A pure horror movie along the lines of Teeth would be shamefully ridiculous, but Teeth legitimizes its monster moments by recognizing the preposterousness of its premise.
It's a bit odd that the main character meets very few men who are not rapists, but not moreso than the main character having teeth in her vagina. And it wouldn't be a very interesting movie if only, like, one dick got bitten off.
Don't watch it with your parents, but definitely watch it.
