Plot:

It seems that the main character Veronica Sawyer (played by Melanie Field) is a bit depressed. Her suicidal boyfriend blew up the school and she faces judgmental cliques everywhere she goes to school. She eventually meets JD, who gives her advice on how to kill herself but promises her that he can make her murder look like a suicide so she won’t be blamed. It’s sort of a twisted love story mixed in with death and deceit, but not without its humor.

There’s plenty of dark humor in the film as well, which helps to keep it light even though you know there are some pretty heavy things going on in it. The character of JD is always joking around and causing trouble with his friends. He also helps Veronica get away from her troubles, and he even tells her his secrets, which may just make her start a new school where she can feel normal again. Veronica is the main character in this film but she doesn’t have much in the way of friends. She’s usually alone, which causes her to be depressed, which causes her to think about suicide more often.
