Rotten
Lame shock scenes, crucial plot points inserted without setups, and an unsuccessful attempt to exploit the camp value of some actors cast in minor parts are the least of the problems in this black comedy.
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

The producers of this film, which depicts teen-age girls as an assemblage of negative stereotypes, are female. Can females practice misogyny?
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
Only the soundtrack (the Donnas, Imperial Teen) and the irrepressible McGowan make it fractionally more bearable.
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
Rotten
It's a tired lousy movie, a terrible twosome that deserves your heartfelt indifference.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
Not quite a satire, not quite an homage, Jawbreaker falls into a third category: audaciously unoriginal.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
