Pretty Good

Absolutely the worst movie.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Liz is a nice girl and the most popular in her school. Her three friends accidentally kills her playing a birthday prank when she chokes on a jawbreaker. Mean girl Courtney (Rose McGowan) takes over the leadership. Marcie (Julie Benz) is willing to follow, but Julie (Rebecca Gayheart) is troubled with the death. When geeky Fern (Judy Greer) finds out by chance, she's remade into a popular girl to keep her in line.This has several problems. The most obvious are the girls in their mid 20's, and the Heathers comparison. The girls are all gorgeous. Rose McGowan has a great mean girl persona. But the girls are so visibly too old for high school. It is extremely distracting. And the Heathers comparison doesn't help. The writing and the dialog can't stand up to the comparison. It doesn't have the snappy dialog or the memorable lines. It isn't as funny, and drifts into boring.This movie excels in one thing, and that is the music. It's fun and candy coated which fits the story perfectly. Sure the supermodel walk down the hall is great, but that's a pittance. There's not enough here to recommend this movie.

A group of ultra-hip teenage schoolgirls (from Reagan High!) accidentally kill one of their own in a birthday prank gone awry; they struggle to keep their deed a secret even after a nerdy student discovers the truth. Darkly comic tale, brightly-produced yet full of cynicism, has brief moments that go out on a limb, but is ultimately a rather formulaic "Heathers" knock-off. Holds interest nearly half the way, however the wrap-up is right off the assembly-line. It certainly benefits from a good cast, with the central performances by Rose McGowan and Rebecca Gayheart spot-on, however prominently-billed P.J. Soles, William Katt and Marilyn Manson hardly appear at all. *1/2 from ****

This film can't be taken too seriously; otherwise it won't be a nice movie. But if we see it like it really is, a teen black comedy, we can find it reasonably entertaining… Furthermore, a movie which has a quote like "she's so evil… and she's only in high school" can only be a spoofing one! Well, about the movie itself I think there isn't much to say, because it's a typical High School teen movie, about the also typical "awesome gorgeous girls which dress like models and control it all around, guys included" type. And for the "evil one", who would they choose? Rose McGowan, of course! She has such nice profile for that! She really has the face and the attitude to do the "evil b*tch" role. This movie is not the only one… But I like her as an actress. I think people who can represent such characters must be good actors! Anyway, this movie is nice if you don't expect too much

I only watched this because of Rose McGowan (Grindhouse). I guess if i watched Charmed, I would know her, but Death Proof was my introduction. I thought she was so cool, and she was in this film also. It may have been a campy film about high school, but she was just so interesting.I remember Carole Kane from "Taxi" - boy, does that date me! I always like to see her pop up and she did a great job in this film also.Pam Grier played a police detective and I always like seeing her. I'll be checking her out next in Bones.It's a forgettable film, but it was funny and worth watching just to see some of the cast.
