Jennifer is a bitch.
Jennifer's friend is a moron.
Jennifer's friends's boyfriend just turned 12.
Jennifer's friends's boyfriend's mother acts like she be on drugs.Who wrote the lines for this film? I seriously want to meet the person who thinks joking about sexually transmitted diseases, fucking dead bodies and using tampon puns, would be a funny thing to include is an otherwise really well written (not so much) film.
Also, where did the story go? Anyone seen the plot to this film lying around somewhere? If so, please return it ASAP! -
This must be one of the most underappreciated and misunderstood movies of recent times. This is not a horror movie, it's not even supposed to be scary. Diablo Cody's script is hilarious from start to finish and is very deliberately deconstructing the high school horror genre, just not in a Cabin in the Woods way. It is so well made that it makes Megan Fox look like she put in a good acting performance. All of these characters are real, wait the goth kids are not real, highly stylised versions of real kids with a completely made up slang (which I happen to think is genius of Tolkien like proportions) but real in an unreal situation. Oh man, Adam Brody is so fucking brilliant as the lead singer of the devil worshipping indie band he deserves his own spinoff movie/TV series and a role in every movie ever made from here on out.

Poor old Jennifer's Body. This movie gets a lot of hate, and it deserves none of it. Maybe it's because Diablo Cody is a controversial writer; maybe it's because Megan Fox is considered to be a bad actress; maybe it's because it was marketed as a sexy movie for boys when it's actually a movie about female friendship. Maybe it's all of the above.
But while this movie has been written off as a trashy failed experiment in horror comedy, it's actually a thoughtful, perceptive, and scary examination of what it means to be a teenage girl. You could see its two main characters, Jennifer and Needy, as stereotypes; at first glance, they look like the archetypal teen girl characters,…

Part of the 31 Days of Horror
I watched about an hour of this before I couldn't take any more and turned it off. I'm not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to watch this. I knew that I was going to hate it, but I watched it anyway. This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I don't even feel right calling this a film. I think that the word film implies some sort of artistic intent. Believe me when I say that this is completely and utterly devoid of art. It is possibly the most exploitative movie I have ever seen. And it does absolutely nothing right. It is not sure…

Jennifer's body is pretty hot.
The film however...not so hot.

Una película mucho mejor de lo que su envoltorio pudiera dejar entrever. Tremendamente divertida, con una Amanda Seyfried guapísima, y con algunas líneas de guión francamente buenas.

It 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 couldn't have done the same story set in college? Speaking of Fox... She's not sexy, she's just trashy (and not in a good way). As frumpy and plain as they tried to make Seyfried look, she's 100 times hotter than Fox.

I ended up liking this more than I thought I would. Underrated in my opinion.
-
Great dialogue and Megan Fox exudes sexiness in this movie.
Not sure the girl-on-girl make out session was plot relevant but it was very hot!
-
Some structural problems still keep it from being completely great but it is still so funny and fun and clever and nearly poignant. The fantastic performances help sell the more ridiculous turns the story takes.

Heh.

It was on FX, still don't know why I actually watched it.
