Andy's away on a trip to Connecticut, and I went through his movies Saturday and it kinda blew my mind that he had this one.
Heathers gets a lot more credit from me for its balls than for final product. Ostensibly it's a dark comedy, and there are a couple of big laughs, but I think mostly you appreciate it more conceptually than anything else. And I don't mean that as a negative, exactly. The movie is so peculiar and unqiue, a dark, cynical teen comedy with a weird, dreamlike feel to it, that you got to give it up for Heathers. It's not a great movie, but it proudly does its own thing, and does it in an entertaining manner.
