Sandra Oh and Anne Heche play college frenemies who come to blows in a dark satire that will have you in stitches.
Their war of attrition continues over five years of vicious brawls but the mixture of sledgehammer satire and brutal comedy is hard to stomach.
A pair of ultra-competitive female friends struggle for dominance in an entertaining if gruesome way.
