Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
This dark comedy from 1989 was a good showcase for Winona Ryder, playing a high school girl brought into a clique of bitchy classmates (all named Heather), and Christian Slater, doing his early Jack Nicholson thing. While Ryder's character mulls over the consequences of giving up one set of friends for another, her association with a new boy (Slater) in school turns out to have deadly consequences. Director Michael Lehmann turned this unusual film into something more than another teen-death flick. There is real wit and sharp satire afoot, and the very fusion of horror and comedy is provocative in itself. Heathers remains a kind of benchmark in contemporary cinema for bringing surreal intelligence into Hollywood films. --Tom Keogh

This is proberbly Winona Ryders and Shannon Dohertys best movie... Always makes you laugh and is a good movie for a quiet nite at home...

5 out of 5 stars i loourved it.......2007-03-13

Well, i have to say this is now one of my favorite movies now. Christian Slater is the epiphany of the perfect phycopath. and he's hot sooo.....yeah. its a good movie

5 out of 5 stars "Dear Diary, my teen-angst...now has a body count.".......2007-01-14

The 'kill them all let god sort them out' version of the going to high school in the 80s some of us only dreamed of at the time . Little did we know that we'd be dealing with the ' Swatch dogs and Diet Coke heads' the rest of our sorry, outcast ,underachieving lives. The best of the teen films of my generation and Winona Ryder is hot despite the lamentable clothing and hair styles. Christian Slater as an eerie precurser of Columbine, wherein teen angst really becomes homicidal.
hard to find generally on dvd so get it while you can-has extras and an acceptable transfer to dvd.

5 out of 5 stars Love Heathers!.......2007-01-03

I freaking love this movie. I used to watch it when I was little when it came on Comedy Central. It's one of my favorites for sure. When I saw Mean Girls, I thought it was a rip off of Heathers. Love Winona and Christian. Just fabulous.

3 out of 5 stars Extreme High School Politics.......2006-12-18

We all go through that stage in which we realize that the world we live in really ticks us off and that revenge shall be ours. Mine involved eggs and not household detergent and guns, but to each his own, or in this case, her own. With "Heathers" we follow the misadventures of Veronica (Winona Ryder) as she and her partner in crime Jason Dead (Christian Slater projecting an image of James Dean but whose speech patterns were downright Nicholsonian) take their Scorched Earth policy through an Ohio high school. Early on Veronica tries to fit in with the Heathers, a mean girls type clique that supposedly are the envy of the entire school. Veronica disappoints them at a party and one of the Heathers scolds her for it. The obvious thing for her to do would be to give up the inane dream of being popular, but then we wouldn't have a movie. So instead she decides to wreak havoc on this Heather's life. Of course wreak havoc is putting it lightly as Bonnie and Clyde depend on "big blue" to off one of the most popular girls in the school. Since the cover up is ridiculously easy more murders follow, followed by more cover ups. The whole issue of teenage death is brought up. Teachers debate proper tributes which lead to the dead being glorified beyond recognition. Seeing this, the other kids decide that the only way to be hip is to do it in the terminal fashion, thus faux suicides begets failed suicides and chaos rules the day.

Since the film is hardly going to take the side of murdering your classmates Jason goes a little overboard and decides to blow up the entire school. At this point the film switches from satire to thriller and becomes a lot less interesting. The ideas from the first two thirds still hold up. Not to sound genocidal but the people that were offed were simply embarrassments to the human race. Jason even says, oh so honestly, that the only things the school lost with their deaths were "Date rape and AIDS jokes." The script by Daniel Waters is the star of the show as its bitter tongue and cynical nature were written in intellectual fashion. The slang does show its age; I hope the last time I heard the word "motor" in place of "hurry" was 1989. Above all it seems to remind kids of all generations that their puny high school existences don't matter. Yes, I know it seems like it does, it really seemed like it did to me, but it doesn't. If you were to drop dead today your school would just make up colorful lies about you and then benefit from your absence. I also enjoyed the way the film took glee in other peoples misery. Early on the Heaters (who are so aristocratic they play croquet) set their eyes and claws upon an obese girl. The public ridicule she suffers may be heartbreaking for her, but for us it is hilarious. It's not our fault that extreme embarrassment is funny, that's just the way it goes. This film has been compared to "Mean Girls" but the main difference is the darkness that runs throughout this one. The main character in that movie is a lost soul who gets involved with the wrong crowd. Here our main character kills without consequence and in the process lands on the top of the social ladder. Sure, she's still a hero, but a dark and flawed one, that's for sure. ***1/2

      Heathers
      This dark comedy from 1989 was a good showcase for Winona Ryder, playing a high school girl brought into a clique of bitchy classmates (all named Heather), and Christian Slater, doing his early Jack Nicholson thing. While Ryder's character muddles over the consequences of giving up one set of friends for another, her association with a new boy (Slater) in school turns out to have deadly consequences. Director Michael Lehmann turned this unusual film into something more than another teen-death flick. There is real wit and sharp satire afoot, and the very fusion of horror and comedy is provocative in itself. Heathers remains a kind of benchmark in contemporary cinema for bringing surreal intelligence into Hollywood films. --Tom Keogh

      Soul Man
      Both underrated and overrated in its day, this 1986 comedy now looks like a clever, non-politically-correct snappy satire with moments of penetrating observation and strong acting. C. Thomas Howell plays an affluent white kid, Mark, admitted to Harvard Law School but denied tuition by his father. In desperation, he applies for a scholarship reserved for African-American students and gets the money, leaving him with the problem of adjusting his skin color. With a few cosmetic changes, Mark becomes the black equivalent of Dustin Hoffman's female alter ego in Tootsie: an intruder in the world of his opposite. Suddenly the target of casual, everyday racism on campus, verbal assaults from powerful, paranoid white men (Leslie Nielsen has a good dramatic role), and pressure to carry the legacy of black progress in America, Mark's consciousness is raised quite rapidly. James Earl Jones is exquisite as a law professor with high expectations. --Tom Keogh

      Girls Just Want to Have Fun
      Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt dance their way through Girls Just Want to Have Fun, a glorious example of 1980s kitsch. Janey (Parker), the new girl at a Catholic high school in Chicago, dreams of becoming a dancer on Dance TV. With the help of new wave hipster Lynne (Hunt), Janey enters a dance contest and gets paired with Jeff (Lee Montgomery), a rebel in spandex, and the two are soon smitten with each other. Unfortunately, they've made an enemy of a snooty rich girl, who vows to take them down. Everything about Girls Just Want to Have Fun is cheap and cheesy--it doesn't even have the Cyndi Lauper version of the title song--but that doesn't make it any less goofily entertaining, particularly when a debutante ball is wrecked by a bizarre combination of punk rockers and female bodybuilders. Featuring a very young Shannen Doherty as Jeff's little sister. --Bret Fetzer

          This dark comedy from 1989 was a good showcase for Winona Ryder, playing a high school girl brought into a clique of bitchy classmates (all named Heather), and Christian Slater, doing his early Jack Nicholson thing. While Ryder's character mulls over the consequences of giving up one set of friends for another, her association with a new boy (Slater) in school turns out to have deadly consequences. Director Michael Lehmann turned this unusual film into something more than another teen-death flick. There is real wit and sharp satire afoot, and the very fusion of horror and comedy is provocative in itself. Heathers remains a kind of benchmark in contemporary cinema for bringing surreal intelligence into Hollywood films. --Tom Keogh

          5 out of 5 stars "Dear Diary, my teen-angst...now has a body count.".......2007-01-14

          The 'kill them all let god sort them out' version of the going to high school in the 80s some of us only dreamed of at the time . Little did we know that we'd be dealing with the ' Swatch dogs and Diet Coke heads' the rest of our sorry, outcast ,underachieving lives. The best of the teen films of my generation and Winona Ryder is hot despite the lamentable clothing and hair styles. Christian Slater as an eerie precurser of Columbine, wherein teen angst really becomes homicidal.
          hard to find generally on dvd so get it while you can-has extras and an acceptable transfer to dvd.

          5 out of 5 stars Love Heathers!.......2007-01-03

          I freaking love this movie. I used to watch it when I was little when it came on Comedy Central. It's one of my favorites for sure. When I saw Mean Girls, I thought it was a rip off of Heathers. Love Winona and Christian. Just fabulous.

          3 out of 5 stars Extreme High School Politics.......2006-12-18

          We all go through that stage in which we realize that the world we live in really ticks us off and that revenge shall be ours. Mine involved eggs and not household detergent and guns, but to each his own, or in this case, her own. With "Heathers" we follow the misadventures of Veronica (Winona Ryder) as she and her partner in crime Jason Dead (Christian Slater projecting an image of James Dean but whose speech patterns were downright Nicholsonian) take their Scorched Earth policy through an Ohio high school. Early on Veronica tries to fit in with the Heathers, a mean girls type clique that supposedly are the envy of the entire school. Veronica disappoints them at a party and one of the Heathers scolds her for it. The obvious thing for her to do would be to give up the inane dream of being popular, but then we wouldn't have a movie. So instead she decides to wreak havoc on this Heather's life. Of course wreak havoc is putting it lightly as Bonnie and Clyde depend on "big blue" to off one of the most popular girls in the school. Since the cover up is ridiculously easy more murders follow, followed by more cover ups. The whole issue of teenage death is brought up. Teachers debate proper tributes which lead to the dead being glorified beyond recognition. Seeing this, the other kids decide that the only way to be hip is to do it in the terminal fashion, thus faux suicides begets failed suicides and chaos rules the day.

          Since the film is hardly going to take the side of murdering your classmates Jason goes a little overboard and decides to blow up the entire school. At this point the film switches from satire to thriller and becomes a lot less interesting. The ideas from the first two thirds still hold up. Not to sound genocidal but the people that were offed were simply embarrassments to the human race. Jason even says, oh so honestly, that the only things the school lost with their deaths were "Date rape and AIDS jokes." The script by Daniel Waters is the star of the show as its bitter tongue and cynical nature were written in intellectual fashion. The slang does show its age; I hope the last time I heard the word "motor" in place of "hurry" was 1989. Above all it seems to remind kids of all generations that their puny high school existences don't matter. Yes, I know it seems like it does, it really seemed like it did to me, but it doesn't. If you were to drop dead today your school would just make up colorful lies about you and then benefit from your absence. I also enjoyed the way the film took glee in other peoples misery. Early on the Heaters (who are so aristocratic they play croquet) set their eyes and claws upon an obese girl. The public ridicule she suffers may be heartbreaking for her, but for us it is hilarious. It's not our fault that extreme embarrassment is funny, that's just the way it goes. This film has been compared to "Mean Girls" but the main difference is the darkness that runs throughout this one. The main character in that movie is a lost soul who gets involved with the wrong crowd. Here our main character kills without consequence and in the process lands on the top of the social ladder. Sure, she's still a hero, but a dark and flawed one, that's for sure. ***1/2
