Veronica is an intelligent and vivacious high school student who wants to change her good girl image by becoming part of the school's #1 clique, the Heathers, a bitchy trio of girls, who all happen to be named Heather, who rule the school with vicious pranks and a general disdain of the entire stude...

Killing off other students and making them look like suicides is a tricky rope to walk on, but Heathers pulls it off with a dip into absurd comedy here and a dive into look at our culture there.

Heathers is quite a fun watch that has stood the test of time reasonably well (if anything it's even more topical now with the penchant for taking one's own inadequacies out on school children) but it does fall short in the final furlong for me and as such I'll award it a

There is a lot to love about Heathers, the gleefully twisted high-school comedy about embittered popular girl Veronica (Winona Ryder) and her growing dissatisfaction with her place within the most popular clique in school (whose other members are all coincidentally named Heather, hence the title).

The Heathers, consisting of three separate girls all named (youd never guess) Heather, are viciously mean, both to others and to each other, and the only thing Veronica wants more than to punch them all in the face multiple times is to be one of them.

If you want to watch a movie that makes you think, yet makes you laugh, “Heathers” is for you. “Heathers” explores the dynamics of power and how the truly strong stand on their own two feet. “Heathers” makes the distinction between strong and weak so very clear.
