In what seems to be a hybrid of classic teen flicks HEATHERS and CLUELESS, three of the most popular girls in school (Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart and Julie Benz) pretend to kidnap their friend as a prank, shoving a jawbreaker in her mouth to keep her quiet in the process. The plot unfolds around the friend's unfortunate demise after she chokes on the jawbreaker.

Distributor Notes: First, I guess you need to know something about them, "The beautiful ones. The flawless four. Everyone wanted to be them. You know 'em". They went to your school, too. First there's Courtney "Satan-in-heels" Shayne (McGowan) and her pawn, the dense but dangerous Marcie Fox (Benz), a legend in her own little mind. Then there's angelic Julie Freedman (Gayheart), doomed to be popular because of her pretty face, and lastly, the teen dream herself, Elizabeth Purr. When an ordinary kidnapping prank leaves the future prom queen dead (accidentally gagged with a jaw-breaker), a deadly sweet prank leads to cover-up makeover in this edgy and unpredictable comedy. But there will be no mercy as prom night arrives, bringing this spirited tale to its cruel tiara-dropping conclusion.

Review 1:
"...Wickedly hilarious....This zesty film rekindles fond memories of HEATHERS....Stein deftly keeps things crackling between his actresses, while Grier easily commands the screen every second she's on camera..."
