DVD Reviews of Heathers - 20th High School Reunion Edition
DVD Review: Great pate, mom, but I gotta motor if I wanna be ready for that party tonight
Summary: 5 Stars
From the opening shot of Heathers we already know that the Heathers are worthy of our deepest hatred. The way they stomp on the flowers when playing croquet, you just know that they are royally spoiled, and they have not a care for any other living creature beside themselves.
Heather McNamara: It's your turn Heather.
Heather Chandler: No, Heather, it's Heather's turn. Heather?
Heather Duke: Sorry Heather.
Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) is the only non-Heather in the Heathers clique, and she is still being hazed by the full-fledged members. It's brutal in High School. They make her forge notes for pranks on the misfit kids. She reluctantly goes along -- for now.
At home Veronica is the trendy teen with a perky quirky vocabulary of the latest slang.
Veronica Sawyer: Great pate, mom, but I gotta motor if I wanna be ready for that party tonight.
Then she meets a stranger. J.D. (Christian Slater) is a dark and brooding teenager dressed in black. He must have been trying to play the entire role using his Jack Nicholson impression voice. His continual brooding is occasionally supplanted by a mischievous grin.
J.D.: Seven schools in seven states and the only thing different is my locker combination.
Veronica is impressed, but a bit taken aback. J.D. it seems was also acutely aware of the cruelty of the Heathers, as was she. This strange realization created a bond between them that was beginning to grow. J.D. constantly challenged Veronica's involvement with the Heathers. The more he did, the more their own bonds of affection grew.
Veronica Sawyer: How very.
Christian Slater and Winona Ryder are both very young, reckless, and beautiful here. It is worth watching the film just to see them. Winona is astonishingly beautiful, and Slater carries his half of the film with panache.
J.D.: [lying on the ground with Veronica under his jacket] Mmm. I thank you. That was my first game of strip croquet.
The film is a black comedy, and the only problem is that it takes as its subject school shootings, bombings, and violence, and in a post-Columbine world, such subjects are never as funny as they seemed in those halcyon days before Columbine.
Bad break for Heathers. If only it hadn't been so prescient about events yet to come. It could have been a cult film, yeah, it is a cult film, but it could have been a cult film with a much larger cult.
Heather Chandler: I brought you to a Remington party and what's my thanks? It's on a hallway carpet. I got paid in puke.
Veronica Sawyer: Lick it up, baby. Lick. It. Up.

Description of Heathers - 20th High School Reunion Edition
It made overnight stars of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater,shocked uncool film critics everywhere and became oneof the biggest cult classics of the ?80s. Twenty years later, HEATHERS remains the only brilliantly black comedy about peer pressure, malicious croquet and having abrain tumor for breakfast. At Westerburg High where cliques rule, jerk jocks dominate and the most popular girls are all named Heather, it?s going to take a Veronica (Ryder) and the mysterious – and possibly psychotic – new kid J.D. (Slater) to give teen angst a body count. Shannen Doherty co-stars in the most cruelly hilarious high school movie ever made,featuring a new, high quality transfer. The extreme always seems to make an impression: Heathers is back like you?ve never seen or heard it before!Bestsellers in DVD
