Fresh and Exciting

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I think I seen that movie around 60 times,but never at cinema,thank you very much for bring this back on the big screen. Fantastic

Hands down, one of the most unusual movies I've seen a long time, "Heathers" feels like a snarky response to the '80s teen movie. And it works pretty well on that level, but even better as a black comedy. It leaves no one out of its cross hairs, from the school faculty and the dumb jocks to - hell, even the state of Ohio. Everyone's an idiot. Or a sociopath.I didn't know what to expect with this movie, but it's sharp, surreal, and very funny. Not to mention Winona Ryder at her cutest.Wickedly entertaining.7/10

Heathers is directed by Michael Lehmann, and stars Winona Ryder as Veronica and Christian Slater as J.D. They're two school pupils that begin dating. Veronica is part of an elitist clique of friends and in order to break free, her and J.D joke about conjuring up the murder of the leader of the group. Only for J.D to go ahead and actually do It. After Veronica's initial shock they decide to make it look like a suicide. Only to go down a slippery slope of bumping more students off, as they try and restore a social equilibrium that goes to the extreme. The best way too describe this film would be, John Hughes with an added flavour of murder.Christian Slater steals the show every time he's in the frame, as the always alluring and unhinged rouge. Winona Ryder plays well of him, and they both great on screen chemistry together. Their relationship feels very real during all phases of the film.Heathers is a sharply written cynical satire on eighties high school sociology. Whilst also being a metaphor about the development from adolescence to adulthood, and that there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two. The films themes are also well thought out, it's a teen comedy that carries Important messages. The only downside I had with the film, was it did feel at times a bit too cynical and heavy handed for it's own good. This approach at times left me feeling cold and uncaring towards certain character resolutions.Overall Heathers is one of the best teen comedies to have come out of the eighties. Despite the craziness and ludicrous plot developments the film takes in the third act. It still remains a fascinating critique of the misanthropic structure of adolescent behaviour and high school sociology.

I think that if any film ever established Christian Slater's reputation for taking on quirky roles it has to be Heathers. As a psychotic kid with a chip on his shoulder he's got one devilish way of leveling the playing field so to speak of the ruling class.Which in this case the female social set is headed in this small town Ohio is headed by a trio of girls all named Heather. Newly arrived Winona Ryder would like to make it to the top, but Heather 1 Pauline Walker pulls some nasty stuff on her.But Ryder does make a friend of Christian Slater who has a mission in life to eliminate those that stand out from the top and bottom. He's nuts, but he's charming. His Jason Dean set his typecasting permanently. My favorite bit in the whole film is him setting up the two dumb senior jocks as a double gay suicide, ruining the memory of these two macho lunkheads forever. This film seemed to be cursed with two deaths of people in major roles. Both Pauline Walker and Jeremy Applegate who plays a scholastic overachiever both died quite young.Even today in middle age Christian Slater still plays variations on Jason Dean. Because he does them so well.
