Save your money: rent Heathers.
2 January 1999
Though it bills itself as a comedy/thriller, my viewing group failed to find any humor in the film. A chronicle of friends with no stress management skills, this attempt at dark comedy comes across as a string of appalling atrocities with no redeeming value. There is nothing truly comedic or thrilling about this film; the only time I laughed at the film was prior to the first murder, and the "thrills" are obvious, tedious, grim, plodding, inhuman acts. Grim and thrilling are not synonymous. Five of us attended the movie and all of us encouraged friends to avoid it.

Save your ticket money and rent Heathers; you get to see Christian Slater in a movie that does much better black comedy.
