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,…

There is a shot as Needy rushes over the night-dark field to a distant abandoned ruin to face off with Jennifer and save her lover (and the gentleman-in-distress is a welcome change) that is a painting or a classic horror-romance novel moment or some better film's emotionally sweeping moment. I feel like I've seen it before, maybe over and over again, some melodramatic Gothic trope. Regardless, it is a beautiful moment. The rest of the film has its share of notable visuals, but nothing else compares to that moment, except maybe her entrance into the ruins through fairytale bramble, her pink dress struggling, the shadowy ruins draped around her. Maybe that moment, too.
I feel like there's a missed opportunity…

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!

How did this movie about vengeful bisexual teenage girls make me care about the boys in this film? Why does this female centric movie have more interesting male characters? I'm upset. I thought it was gonna be more gay than it was.
But very well made, the sets and the costumes and the credit cards were perfect.

I knew Jennifer’s Body was going to be bad before I sat down to watch it this week. I knew, and yet watched it anyway. What a poor choice on my part.
After the success of Juno, Diablo Cody sat down and wrote Jennifer’s Body - most likely trying to replicate the quirkiness that everyone loved so much. I’ll break down this review into two sections:
1) Juno was awful. I had originally enjoyed it for being something completely different, but after it began to catch on with tweens and teens alike due to the dialogue and the pro-life message it spurted, I started distancing myself from the film. I didn’t want to become associated with the messages being put…
