April 19, 2012Black horror comedy for teens starring Megan Fox? indeed. Ooook first problem here is the fact this film is rated R, so teens can't see it, at least young teens who lust after celebs like this and adults will find this complete and utter poo soooooo......
Plot is utterly utterly... read more -
March 25, 2012When it came out, "Jennifer's Body" looked like it would be a massive hit, bringing Riot Grrl attitude to a long-overdue girls-on-top reversal of many of the tropes of the horror genre.
Dreamed up by Diablo Cody (fresh off her Oscar-winning triumph with "Juno") and starring su... read more -
December 29, 2011Jennifer's Body has its occasional moments when it's actually kind of clever. But it has a thin story and frankly, it just isn't scary or funny enough. Megan Fox is quite simply the eye candy. But this is probably her best on screen performance. Unfortunatly, her character is ve... read more

September 26, 2011For all you haters out there...It's a frickin' comedy. The film knows that it's cheesy and all that stuff. But it makes fun of the fact that it is. And it does it pretty good. So ease up... Megan Fox is good. But Amanda Seyfried really lifts up the movie. So from me...it's only 3... read more

August 24, 2011This was not a good movie, but it was much better than I expected. The plot was very boring, I never was having much fun and it seemed just like a way for guys to watch two hot actresses have sex and get naked. The cast was actually not bad, I really enjoyed Seyfrieds performan... read more

August 14, 2011Fresh from an Oscar win and a helpful hand in creating American teenage slang for the next three years, Diablo Cody should have delivered a product that entertained with the same malice and yet tenderness as Juno, or at least something as witty and eccentric. Instead we're given ... read more

June 3, 2011It is what it is. But I have to comment on one thing - casting. I don't buy Amanda Seyfried as a high school student for ONE second (and it's almost creepy when she's with her boyfriend, who does look 16), and Megan Fox playing a teenager is equally laughable. They cou... read more

January 25, 2011Megan Fox's character really suited her. She would have done the same thing (murdering people to look pretty) in real life. I kinda liked this movie. Not mind blowing or anything but quite enjoyable.

December 25, 2010Idiotic "Jennifer's Body" is pointless as a teenage parody, inept as a horror film and ridiculous as a film.
Diablo Cody overindulges in her first post-Juno gig and bangs out a bumbling screenplay that works very little. Paired with the disastrous "Aeon Flux", director Kary... read more -
December 6, 2010Jennifer's Body doesn't really have all that much to do with...Jennifer's Body, other than it gets possessed by a demon - gee, what an original premiss.
OK, I was entertaining a niece of a certain age, and had this film in reserve. She enjoyed the off-beat (and addmittedly so... read more

The flashes of competence just emphasize the extent to which the film has no idea what it's doing. Full Review

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
[Cody's] glib teen-hip dialogue mostly feels like self-conscious splatter over a sorely lackluster scare flick. Full Review

Apparently, there's nothing like lean and hungry times to awaken the undead. Full Review

There are probably worse ways to go out than being devoured by Fox... but the film squanders all the fun from what could have been a hilarious, gore-filled romp. Full Review

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Director Karyn Kusama finds resonant terror in details: the look Anita and Jennifer exchange before Jen's fateful ride, or a victim's last-minute ah-hah. Full Review

Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News
It's a fun premise -- a twist on the usual girl-in-distress scenario of the standard-issue horror film -- enlivened by Codyspeak.

[T]here's something a bit sour about the whole enterprise, a lack of fun that becomes more evident as the injuries and indignities piled upon poor Needy accumulate, and gradually crowd out the film's ... Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
The tone wavers, the direction's slackly indecisive and visually drab, and in the middle of it is a thinly conceived antagonist played by Megan Fox. Honestly, she's a pretty bad actress. She doesn't s... Full Review

Jennifer's Body falls into the dispiriting category of dumb movies made by smart people, in this case a glibly clever writer and a talented director who think a few wisecracks are enough to subvert th... Full Review
