Of his concept for the film, Stein has stated, "The jawbreaker just came to represent the duality of the poppy sweetness of the girls, of high school and of youth, versus the whole idea that this thing could break your jaw."[2] The film was released on February 19, 1999, and was a critical and financial failure, although it has come to gain a cult following.
