Synopsis
Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) has sacrificed everything in order to preserve her place in Westerburg High's most impenetrable social clique, the HEATHERS. As the only member of the group not named 'Heather', Veronica has to work extra hard just to stay afloat. Going against her own morals and intelligence, Veronica succumbs to peer pressure on a daily basis, faking her delight in the humiliation of the school's less popular students. Bored of the frat parties and cow tipping so popular among her friends, Veronica's curiosity is peaked when a mysterious new guy named JD comes to town. The dark, brooding JD (Christian Slater at his best) observes Veronica among her pack in the lunchroom (where social hierarchy is most clearly displayed), concluding that Veronica is not a Heather at heart. When Veronica confides in JD that she hates her friends and wishes Heather

5.0 out of 5 stars For all the geeks and losers (over eighteen), 4 Aug 2005
By dude (England) - See all my reviews
Heathers is a film about cliques and physcos and perfects the style of extreme teen film. The story begins by watching how the evil clique of 3 girls all called Heather control and hurt the population of Westerburg High.
Veronica Sawer is a special member of this group of girls and is hating every second. But a new guy who goes by the name of JD is willing and ready to make Veronica free of this clique.
He has a way with words, women and guns.And uses his very unique talents to rid not only Veronica but the world of the warth of the Heathers.
The film uses lots of levels to potray high school in a way that just blows you away. It's very very!!!
Heathers has an impressive tone tha goes from bright to dark in seconds and has a funny and vibrant script that uses dark and sick ideas to create a masterpiece.
A must-see film that will knock you out in more was than one no matter how many times you watch it!!!! Say greetings and salutations to the best teen film in the history of cinema!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 3 Mar 2005
After hearing rave reviews about this film I decided to get myself a copy.Its always been mentioned in the list of great 80's teen movies so being a fan of those films I decided to see what all the fuss was about.This is definitely one of the best of the genre and blows all the rest away (literally!).After watching it I was completely hooked because everything in it is brilliant from the acting to the dark humour.No other film that I have seen has dealt with such controversial yet real issues (teen suicide) but yet manage to stay so damn funny and not cross the line into bad taste.What else can I say about this film its edgy,funny,satirical, great to watch and never looses interest.However not for everyone as you need to have a slightly twisted and dark sense of humour to really understand it.Great 80's movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars A lesson in life, love and death, 30 Jul 2005
By Francisco "hifranc" (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Veronica is an ex geek. She went from being an awkward high IQ person to become someone beautiful and desirable. She's also just become a member of the top clique in school -- The Heathers (so called as the other 3 members are called Heather).

The Heathers constantly belittle her and require her to belittle others if she wants to stay in their group. She finds solace in a boyfriend. Together they start committing murders. Veronica, for it's her story, has to then decide what she really wants.

The characterisation was reasonable and so was the acting. Some aspects of the second half weren't convincing which is why I've deducted one star.

It's an interesting take on the traditional teen movie examination of belonging, friendship, life, love and finding out who you really are.
