About
If you enjoy candy-colored, mean-girls black comedy with a nasty edge, this fits alongside Insatiable and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion; Not for you if you want realistic teen drama or dislike dark, morbid jokes.
Pros: darkly funny teen satire; colorful, stylish vibe; catchy soundtrack | Cons: uneven momentum; thin character depth; humor too morbid
