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.

Diabolo Cody always writes these extra-super-duper smart and canny lines for her female leads to make them appear extra-super-duper cool and badass – and the rest of the script is a mere vehicle. To keep things short, the plot is lame, the execution annoying and since I hold no fascination whatsoever with Megan Fox, I don’t care whether she gets naked, spreads her legs or makes out with her BFF.

After the first 10 or 15 minutes, I was like "Hey this is actually pretty funny" but then it all went to hell in a hand basket. No ending, either.

Basada en una historia de la efimeramente celebre Diablo Cody (después de Juno y esta otra pendejada, ¿alguién ha escuchado algo más de esta vieja?) esta cinta demuestra que no todas las directoras hollywoodenses pueden aspirar a ser Katherine Bigelow ó Lexie Alexander. El material que compone esta comedia (supongo que debe llamarsele asi) tenia la suficiente cantidad de irreverencia y mala leche para que pudiese dar como resultado algo minimamente interesante. Sin embargo, la absoluta ineptitud de Karyn Kusama le hace un flaco favor al asunto, al grado de que, en comparación, a estupideces similares como Twilight y demás, los hace ver como modelos de virtuosismo tecnico y complejidad narrativa. Obviamente, el único punto a favor de esta madre es la "actuación" de Megan Fox como una dizque virginal colegiala poseida por un espiritu demoniaco. El taquito de ojo esta garantizado.

A tremendously underrated film. People tend to have certain views on it because of it's high-profile star Megan Fox. This is actually a very well made movie, with an extremely clever script from Diablo Cody, which manages to include comedy, scares, and gross-outs. If you can approach this with an open mind you will see that there is much more to it than the majority would like to believe.

When a film is trying to be the object of cult, for the sake of it, it rarely stands the chance. I still think Jennfer's body will become a cult film in the future, but it's a mess. It's not scary (like great horror-comedies are) and it's never actually funny, just amusing and fun to watch. It is, however, wickedly sexy and compulsively entertaining. So much femininity can get smothering, but they - the women in the film - all deliver: Fox by just being what she's been for the last two years (read: the most provocative starlet since Angelina Jolie), Cody by putting her writing skills to good, albeit exaggerated use, Kusama by shooting the film with flair, and Seyfried (the best part of the film) by being such a fine and talented young actress. Which Fox isn't.

Ridiculous, yes, but all the information gets tied up well enough that it (and by IT I mean Megan Fox becoming a succubus) all makes sense at the end. It's pretty funny, and partially in an intelligent way. Instead of some crazy psychopath stalking young women for perverse sexual reasons, there's this ditsy chick who becomes a blood-lusting sataness all of a sudden, and only kills horny, simple-minded dudes AKA many

The dialogue deserves a better movie. Diablo Cody can write dialogue, but it is always in the key of hostile. Her characters speak like they are fighting over the only feather boa at a strip bar, regardless of context. "Close your legs. No one wants to see your kiki!" "Do you have a tampon? You seem plugged."

Okay, I liked this. More than Juno, for sure. Diablo Cody's hyper-pop dialogue is only tolerable in a movie like this, something wholly tongue-in-cheek. Absolutely self-aware absurdity at every turn, every aspect exaggerated and embellished, I couldn't help but have a blast thanks to its complete shamelessness.

I have to be honest, I think this is probably one of the most underrated films of the year. I have to agree, it's definately not perfect, but it deserves alot more credit than it's been given. Fox, and especially Seyfried give fantastic performances, and I would probably have to say that after "Drag Me to Hell", it was one of the best horror films from 2009.

"What's new Vagisil?" Holy shit. There is also some mention of guyliner indie guys being "salty," though I'm not entirely sure where Cody was going with that. There is also a reference to Thai food smelling like sex. I'll bet you've never heard that one before. Probably because it makes no sense. But seriously, if the movie had a passable plot that didn't get so boring I would have really enjoyed laughing at it.
