the " fab 4 " of ronald reagan high are four stuck - up girls , played by rose mcgowan , rebecca gayheart , julie benz and charlotte roldan , who overdress like 4 posh spice wannabes .
their daily ritual is to parade up and down the school halls like royalty , and their constant reflex action is to grab their compacts so they can check their make - up and powder their cheeks .
under no circumstances will they ever let themselves be seen eating in public .
in writer and director darren stein 's jawbreaker , it is n't as funny as it sounds .
in fact , it is n't funny at all .
stein has taken the black comedy of a teen movie like heathers and stripped it of any intelligence , wit or charm .
his actresses toss off their lines so fast that they do n't have time to add any emotion .
and all of his female characters have considerably more lipstick than brains .
the setup for the movie has one of the fab 4 , liz , who is referred to as " the princess di of reagan high , " be killed when a prank by the other 3 goes wrong .
the princess di reference is in bad taste , as is much of the movie .
granted , bad taste can sometimes be funny , but the mere presence of bad taste does n't guarantee it .
liz 's girlfriends stick a jawbreaker that is literally larger than a golf ball in her mouth , tape her mouth shut , and stick her bound body in the trunk of a car .
when they open the trunk later , liz is dead .
they eventually put her blue and bruised body into a sexual position and make it look like liz was the victim of a brutal rape .
these realistic and disgusting scenes of a dead , seminude teen have a pornographic feeling that is hard to forget and will likely turn the stomach of many a viewer .
the film 's dialog
not only is n't funny , it 's trite .
one nerdy young girl introduces herself with " my name is fern mayo , as in hold the mayo .
"
when fern discovers what has happened , the fab 3 make her an offer she ca n't refuse -- make - up !
they cake it on her and welcome her to the clan .
the parents in the movie brag about learning parenting skills from watching oprah .
the teachers fare no better , especially in the ridiculous lines they are given .
" miss shayne , please cover your bosom , " one young teacher , who has been made up to look old and ugly , says without any conviction .
"
this is a learning institution , not a brothel .
" besides the obvious question of why this movie was ever made , there is one other question that i 'd like to ask the director .
why do you have a phone number start with 555 if you going to cover the rest of the number anyway ?
in a cameo , pam grier plays detective vera cruz , who investigates liz 's murder .
as she interrogates the other people , she stares at them like they are all idiots , proving that she is the only one that gets it .
i am sure that if the hard nosed detective cruz were to see this movie , she 'd walk out after about 5 minutes , and you 'd be well advised to do the same if you should happen to find yourself in a theater showing it .
jawbreaker runs 1 : 27 .
it is rated r for violence , gore , profanity and sex .
i would advise everyone to avoid it , but if teenagers go they should be older and mature .

susan granger 's review of " legally blonde " ( m. g. m. )
it 's a " pretty in pink " / " clueless " coming - of - age story for the new millennium
as elle woods ( reese witherspoon ) , a perky southern california sorority queen , switches from fashion to law in order to win back her yuppy boyfriend
( matthew davis ) .
the girl - power story begins as this sweetheart of delta nu is unceremoniously dumped by a bonehead who says : " if i 'm going to be a senator by the time i 'm 30 .
..
i need to marry a jackie , not a marilyn .
" determined to prove she 's as smart a snobby brunette ( selma blair ) from country - club connecticut ,
elle not only applies to harvard law school but gets in , much to the amazement of family , friends and faculty .
once there , this flaxen - haired fish - out - of - water not only survives but tenaciously thrives , befriending a local manicurist ( jennifer coolidge ) , dazzling a professor ( victor garber ) and rescuing a defendant ( ali larter ) in a celebrated boston murder trial , plus finding a more worthy beau ( luke wilson ) .
in the tradition of teen - comedy film - maker john hughes and his disciple amy heckerling , there 's wit , cheerfulness , a fidelity of observation and a penchant for problem - solving .
first - time feature director robert luketic is blessed with reese witherspoon who 's joyously incandescent in this utterly formulaic light comedy written by karen mccullah lutz and kirsten smith , based on a soon - to - be - published novel by amanda brown .
the supporting cast is terrific , particularly raquel welch and holland taylor - and i particularly got a kick out of the gag of elle distributing scented resumes in pink ,
her signature color on the granger movie gauge of 1 to 10 , " legally blonde " is a frivolous , funny , feel - good 8 . filled with ditzy blonde ambition , it 's a movie for high - school kids that their parents would be happy to have them see .

note : some may consider portions of the following text to be spoilers . be forewarned .
james toback 's return to directing after a eight - year layoff , two girls and a guy , is a film which is comprised , more or less , of just that : one guy , blake ( robert downey jr . ) ; two girls , carla ( heather graham ) and lou ( natasha gregson wagner ) ; one primary setting ( blake 's absurdly spacious bachelor apartment ) , and a great deal of dialogue . embracing a near real - time approach , this is a highly theatrical feature that completely hangs upon the performances of its three actors and the quality of the dialogue written by mr . toback for his bantering characters .
fortunately , the film 's cast is up to the challenge , and the wordy exchanges between the triad of characters , while admittedly variable , are occasionally wickedly amusing .
the film 's setup is fairly generic in nature , and opens rather unpromisingly .
we meet self - possessed blonde carla and feisty brunette lou , both waiting outside a soho loft .
as they engage in idle chatter , it is revealed that they 're both waiting for their respective boyfriends to return from the airport , and it does n't take long for them to come to the realisation that they 're being two - timed by the same guy .
more indignant with him than catty with each other , the duo break into blake 's loft and await his arrival for a confrontation .
it 's when blake returns to his abode where the film hits its stride .
played with magnificent bombast by mr .
downey jr .
, blake is a cad , all right , but a captivatingly dynamic , blusterous , and stealthy piece of work that bursts onto the scene and raises the stakes to new heights .
it 's fascinating to watch this character in his natural habitat ,
and perhaps the film 's best choice was to have his two girlfriends scamper off into hiding upon his return , allowing us to size up blake not with his interactions with others , but by his own innate behaviour .
whether he 's flamboyantly behind his piano in a rollicking rendition of vivaldi , or on the phone leaving messages to his beloveds ( carla , lou , and his unseen sickly mother )
, it 's never less than wildly entertaining and insightful .
though at this point i almost hoped the film would transform into a one - man show -- a typical afternoon in the life of blake , if you will -- carla , and then lou , reveal themselves , and the sparks begin to fly .
( one of the great touches in the film is how blake , when startled by carla 's unannounced appearance , begins to both verbally and physically backpedal even before he realizes that the cat 's out of the bag . ) double - teamed by the understandably aggrieved women ( who are more smirkingly inquisitive than ferociously vengeful -- they want a justification for his ongoing hypocrisy ) , an increasingly - flustered blake weakly defends himself with apologetic and even self - righteous declarations against their verbal jabs .
surprisingly delightful in the waltz of scathing witty banter
shared by its trio of characters , two girls and a guy concludes its first sequence with an unexpected apoplectic act of such outrageous audacity that it seemed nothing was off - limits for this film .
however , it 'd be unfeasible to attempt to string along carla and lou 's outrage to full feature - length , and it 's as the movie gradually transforms into the sharing of exploratory profundities on the nature of fidelity and relationships that it slowly but surely begins to unravel .
the dialogue becomes less and less engaging and clever , the film 's tempo loses its liveliness , the dynamic between the characters evolves in unconvincing fashion , and several sequences fall flat .
subtle and not - quite - subtle allusions are made (
a poster of jules et jim hangs prominently on the wall ) , and secrets are revealed which barrel the film toward an uncompelling weepy finale .
one key turning point in the film is the kinky sex scene between blake and carla .
two girls and a guy was embroiled in a bitter , long - running dispute with the mpaa with regards to this scene -- contractually - obligated to deliver an r - rated film , mr .
toback was forced to resubmit fourteen scaled - down versions of the steamy interlude before the mpaa withdrew their nc-17 rating in favour of an r -- and while admittedly titillating , the net effect of the vignette on the film 's thematic narrative is rather dubious .
if anything , two girls and a guy serves as a showcase for the phenomenal talents of mr .
downey jr . , whose versatility is put to the test in this film .
he plays the gamut from indignant to humbled , from self - assured to disconcerted , yet his acting gears shift so smoothly as to not be registered .
it 's a wonderful performance in a role custom - tailored for him ;
mr .
toback wrote the screenplay in four days shortly after mr .
downey jr . was arrested on drug charges , and it 's hard not to see echoes of reality seeping into his character -- in a monologue to his mirrored reflection ,
blake 's self - chiding to " get [ his ] shit together " is disquieting in its resonance .
while
mr .
downey jr .
's
showstopping performance is undoubtedly the primary strength of the film , both actresses are solid in more broadly - observed roles .
ms .
graham is quickly becoming one of america 's more daring actresses , involving herself in three successive risky projects -- two girls and a guy and boogie nights are both quite sexually frank , while lost in space has a screenplay penned by akiva goldsman .
she 's quite appealing here , playing a character at once both dainty and sultry .
meanwhile , ms .
gregson wagner initially portrays lou with such an unwarranted spunk that audiences are likely to find it either annoying , or , like me , endearing .
she tones it down substantially as the film progresses , but i found her more fun to watch as the artificially excitable chatterbox .
the film was reportedly shot in eleven days , filmed mostly in sequence , and the resultant artifacts of this rapid shoot are evident throughout .
two girls and a guy has an agile , spontaneous sort of feel , and one senses that mr .
toback encouraged a good deal of improvisation from his three actors .
while the film could be transposed directly to the stage more or less intact , it does n't feel constricted ; the expansive apartment setting is well - used to vary the background , and mr .
toback allows his camera to wander and linger on his characters in an effective manner .
two girls and a guy falls short of its potential ,
but thanks to some stellar work by mr . downey jr .
, it 's still often an enjoyable , bitingly funny romp , particularly as we watch the surprisingly - resilient blake evasively try to rationalize his behaviour and even turn the tables on his girlfriends .
"
i 'm an actor , " he tells them at one point , using the ol' tried - and - tested occupational - hazard defense .
" actors lie .
"
but not , they all seem to agree , denzel washington .
