Continuity mistake: When Julie talks to Courtney at lunch, she's wearing a headband and the ends of her hair are flipped out. When she's waiting for the bus, the ends of her hair are curled under. Later on in the scene her ends are flipped out again.

9.4/10. I really like this dark comedy. I ignored Rose McGowan, whiner. I really thought the movie belonged to Judy Greer and Rebecca Gayheart, They were perfect, one of the best to end the 90's with its dry wit about high school mainly the ones in California which is where this took place I think. Jawbreaker could also have been a metaphor for how some people pretend to be someone's friend only to crush them underfoot at any given moment. It's great, watch it.
Question: The whole point of the trick is to persuade the police that Liz was murdered after having sex with a random stranger. The police decide to accept this suggestion. Why do they accept this, when they know that a woman pretending to be Liz's mother called the school to say Liz wouldn't come in - ie. the police know that a woman must have been involved, yet they decide it was just a man who did it?





Answer: They have no reason to follow up the call or never did all they know is that she was at home.
