Teeth achieves something rare by being funny, yet not at all quotable.Many of the best moments are non-verbal, and even the verbal punchlines would fall flat without the atmospheric lead-up.

A cautionary tale about poor sex-ed, a monster movie, a teen romp, a coming of age, and a quirky comedy are all somewhere within Teeth, but cannot be separated from each other.

A pure horror movie along the lines of Teeth would be shamefully ridiculous, but Teeth legitimizes its monster moments by recognizing the preposterousness of its premise.

It's a bit odd that the main character meets very few men who are not rapists, but not moreso than the main character having teeth in her vagina. And it wouldn't be a very interesting movie if only, like, one dick got bitten off.

Don't watch it with your parents, but definitely watch it.

Uh..Brian, Men are always the antagonist, no matter who's got the teeth. Women don't rape men. As for the movie, it was a little strange and a little funny. I liked the girl in the lead role.

A totally original very, very black comedy. Yes, it does hit a lot of genres, but does so in a charming and entertaining manner.

This movie is surprisingly witty. I'm not sure if its scarier, or funnier, but the combination makes for an outstanding take on a very strange topic.

Brilliant film if you can make it through (four people at my screening walked out). It's way underrated. It will stand the test of time as a cult classic. Great suspense, performances (especially the lead), *extremely* funny, disturbing Brilliant film if you can make it through (four people at my screening walked out). It's way underrated. It will stand the test of time as a cult classic. Great suspense, performances (especially the lead), *extremely* funny, disturbing - just all around great. I'm very disappointed in the critics for being too squeamish to look past the severed penises. Expand

Surprising! The whole affair was satyrical, acted well, and gory. It reminds me fiercely of the Kill Bill series (actress, gore and such). But the real spark in Teeth is the wonderful heroine/villain. Just out there, full of ideas. The Surprising! The whole affair was satyrical, acted well, and gory.

The directing could have been improved, but I still adore this album. Expand

Best film I saw at Sundance 2007. I saw it at a press and industry screening and even that audience hooted , hollard and loved it.

Schlocky and occasionally hilarious film. The lead actress gives a terrifically sensitive and assured performance in what must have been an extremely difficult role. An interesting mash up of genres. Director shows real promise in presenting Schlocky and occasionally hilarious film.

The main girl looked perfect for the role. Awesome sound. Subtle and beautiful. Full use of dynamics and clear as anything. The pacing was a bit uneven. Sometimes it was really well paced and interesting and sometimes it was lacking anything happening. It was brilliantly well acted. The actual titular teeth were really subtle and this film benefited from this. Expand
