Heathers
But then again I admit that I have totally loved “Superbad”, but then again, “Superbad” was about guys and – that is its biggest plus for me – it was about nerdy guys in a 2000s setting instead supposedly popular, bitchy girls in an 80s setting.
“Heathers” could only lose – just look at that hair and the horrible, horrible blazers which, back in the day, made me think that blazers always make you look like a silly mannequin. Nowadays I love wearing blazers, although not like the ones the Heathers wear. My favorite aspect of “Heathers” is actually the color scheme: I love how Heather 1 is red, Heather 2 is yellow, Heather 3 is green and Veronica is blue. I especially love how the camera shows Veronica’s blue shoes and blue tights while playing cricket. It makes me want to dress up in a single flashy color too – but which one? My least favorite aspect of the film is the fact that the Heathers didn’t actually show up that much. Whereas “Mean Girls” heavily featured amusing antics of the Plastics, the three Heathers seemed awfully generic – you couldn’t believe it can get even worse. Instead, it was all about Veronica and her dude being all rebellious and murderous. First, I thought it was funny, then it turned a little bit into ridiculous blah blah, and it is only the style and the hilarious absurdity of the story that saves it.
Winona Ryder had some strange yet awesome roles, and this one is no exception. I think that “Heathers” is worth its hype, but at the same time, it didn’t blow me away.
