Nerdy reserved bookworm Needy, and arrogant, conceited cheerleader Jennifer are best friends, though they share little in common. They share even less in common when Jennifer mysteriously gains an appetite for human blood after a disastrous fire at a local bar. As Needy’s male classmates are steadily killed off in gruesome attacks, the young girl must uncover the truth behind her friend’s transformation and find a way to stop the bloodthirsty rampage before it reaches her own boyfriend Chip. —IMDb
Diablo Cody's try hard dialogue threatens to derail the entire film but everything else really works - Megan Fox and her creepy plastic sexuality, the general intermingling of sex/death/consumption/pleasure, the lesbian subtext of suffocating female friendships, the indie rock band satire. Its fun, unpretentious, escapist fluff with bitchy teenage girls and heaps of blood, loved it.
The screenplay is good, even if pacing becomes labored. It's somewhat uneven and that takes a lot from the film. It wasn't executed as well as it could have, and this is the director's fault. There are several moments where the technical side is not up to par, and it could be an homage to the genre, but it's never made explicit. Anyway, the performances and dialogue are entertaining so that it's not a waste of time.
I really dont want to watch this movie, by god Im going to say it a loud. This movie is like mixing "Species", "Alien" and all done with an actress that described herself as a Prostitute, due to that she was being paid, for being something she is not....her words not mine. But for the sake of saying, I have seen it, and would like my 102min of life back.
Jennifer's Body hits theaters next week, but since it's opened the Midnight Madness program in Toronto, we can go ahead and get it
I had a strong dislike for JUNO, but I really wanted to like Diablo Cody’s sophomore outing as a writer, JENNIFER’S BODY…it looked like it could be a smart MEAN GIRLS meets SUSPIRIA type of movie… read review
All the hate for this movie is entirely unneeded. I, personally loved the film. I’m so glad that someone decided to make a schlocky, over the top, B-movie-esque film starring Megan Fox. I’d been saying… read review
I’ll admit to not being very excited to see Jennifer’s Body on first look. Coming as a fast-tracked script, hot on the heels of Diablo Cody’s successful debut Juno, it just looked rushed, abused, and… read review
