  • Starring: Adam Brody, Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox
  • Summary: A sexy horror film with a wicked sense of humor, Jennifer's Body is about small town high school student Jennifer, who is possessed by a hungry demon. She transitions from being "high school evil" - gorgeous (and doesn't she know it), stuck up and ultra-attitudinal - to the real deal: evil/evil. The glittering beauty becomes a pale and sickly creature jonesing for a meaty snack, and guys who never stood a chance with the heartless babe, take on new luster in the light of Jennifer's insatiable appetite. Meanwhile, Jennifer's lifelong best friend Needy, long relegated to living in Jennifer's shadow, must step-up to protect the town's young men, including her nerdy boyfriend Chip.

    The difference between “Juno” and Jennifer’s Body, I realized, was that Diablo Cody's disgustingly smug dialogue -- supposedly so winning when spoken by Juno -- is much easier to swallow when it comes from characters who actually are disgustingly smug -- like Jennifer.

    The movie has a centerfold sheen to it--and some lesbianic soft-core flirtation to match--as its plot dives deeply into "Twilight"-esque heavy-melo meltdown in the last act. Cody throws one too many losses at Needy; the screenwriter loses her satiric way about halfway through. But for a while, this has real fangs.

    Fox is fun as a demonic harpy, but sadly the meeting of Hollywood’s two rock’n’roll queens is closer to safe studio product than slash-and-burn envelope-pusher.

    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 the teen horror genre.

    Definitely not Oscar-worthy by any means but still very entertaining. Some very disturbing scenes highlight the movie (especially when Jennifer returns to Needy's after being kidnapped) along with some hilarious dialogue which added humor to the movie. Both lead actresses do a fine job. A very hot, and very entertaining movie.… Expand

    The film has an attractive cast, is filmed with striking imagery, basically lives up to its interesting premise, and brings enough wit and humor to please. Yet, through the whole movie you can't figure out if it is more of a comedy than a horror flick. I give this film 79%.… Expand

    _Jennifer's Body_ is a fun and frightening combination of horror, comedy, and drama. Cody cuts back the kitschy dialogue, while still keeping her flair for stylistically "hip" language. Blood and guts, while distantly present, are merely features to an otherwise compelling story about maturity and friendship, of course a friendship strained by flesh-eating and demonic possession.… Expand

    Jennifer does have a nice body. Alright, make that a very nice body, and she has a real sexy look. That
