Wow. I am ashamed of all of you. I come on here knowing that this film falls into the category of one of the worst films I have ever seen in my entire life, and i see that most of you are pretty content with the film because Diablo Cody wrote it, and Megan Fox is in it. God damn all you Juno fanboys, can't you all see that this movie is a plotless, poorly acted, terribly written piece of shit? I don't know whether I had more fun watching the film, or the knife that I wanted to kill myself with.

About 5 actually funny jokes in this. The only thing that would make people want to see this is Megan Fox being hot. The movie itself is just stupid, boring and tedious. It's not clever, not interesting and not funny. There's no point in watching this when there are plenty of good black comedies that actually have black comedy in them. Skip this unless you love bad movies with hot women.

KMcNeil | 2 16th |
Disappointingly bland. Despite Cody's attempts at being iconic and (self)ironic, "Jennifer's Body" never really chooses between comedy and horror, which is as detrimental here, as it was effective in Raimi's far superior "Drag Me To Hell". The story weaves and staggers through the motions often unsure of where it's heading and instead preoccupied with quirky Cody's Wikipedia-topically horny dialogue. Points for the girl-on-girl-action and for a few almost quasi-scary scenes though.

Raian-kun | 87 61st |
Extremely misunderstood, even by many vapid teens who enjoy it, a much richer, deeper film than most realize, functioning by turns as a Tarantino-esque send-up of B-horror films and teen comedies, a Scream-like campy, tongue-in-cheek meta-horror, a pitch black comedy, a surprisingly moving drama, a Carrie-like meditation on the horrors of high school, puberty, and sexual awakening (e.g. changes/desires one can't understand/control), a sapphic buddy picture, and a Christian feminist allegory.

No, it's not a good movie, but it's sure as hell not a boring one either - in fact, it might just be the least boring movie of 2009. Every five minutes something bizarre and / or interesting happens, be it murder, arson, cannibalism or Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried french kissing for absolutely no reason. Fox offers nothing except her looks, but Seyfried has a real unique off-kilter vibe to her. Maybe she can take the roles Brittany Murphy would have gotten. (Too soon?)

This film has something annoying. Megan Foz is pretty hot, but this is not enough. The scene of the satanic cult of the band, even for a horror movie, is so awful. Like several other scenes. Just... I expected much more.

It's almost impossible to get too much of Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox in her prime. This movie is a trip. A bad trip at times. I liked the director's scene choices and the attention to the female form. But, of course, the premise is a giant load of spooky hokum nonsense. Demons and devil worship is the centerpiece of the stupid story. The ending was cheap. A box cutter? Really? Somewhat entertaining, but basically just another high school slasher movie and every bit as forgettable.

I had the lowest possible expectations for this film. Given that Megan Fox is reliably terrible and Diablo Cody's dialogue wore off its welcome 15 minutes into Juno, I was prepared for the worst. The film was just so bizarre and off-kilter that it was mildly enjoyable. I remember seeing trailers that made this thing look like a straight up horror film, but it's really a horror-comedy satirizing high-school romance. Kind of reminded me of Idle Hands. Worth a drunken watch.

Cody's fanciful and inconstant dialogue is piteous and often slows downs this middling teen horror homage. Seyfried and Fox were second-rate at best, but I wasn't walking in to see acting. I got what I expected in the end: A huge offbeat, aberrant and anomalous horror cliche that should obviously attract an audience consisted of, you guessed it: teens.

Am I the only one who sees this movie as a big, elaborate criticism of indie rock bands? Probably. Oh well. I enjoyed the movie. It was entertaining, campy, kinda sexy, with some capable cinematography (some nice shots like when the goth kid goes to meet Megan Fox... the street looked nice and properlys cary). Some of the dialogue was awful and Cody's style fit more with Juno but still, entertaining flick. Not amazing but well enjoyable.

No, Diablo Cody your screenplay is not witty, clever or anything close to the neighborhood of good. Megan Fox should just retire as her horrible screen presence insults me. Even my soft spots for Brody and Simmons can't help this. It was flat out bad start to finish. Terrible in every way it tried and insightful lines like 'My tit' when being stabbed just made me want to end my existence.

Hey guys! You did it wrong! You all rated it low and now my probability score is something like 45! How dare you! But really, mismarketed would be putting it lightly. It is definitely a sexy movie at times, but it’s themes of friendship and womanhood go way deeper than any of the overly sexualized posters and advertising for this. It’s a shame so many were likely chased away from something that’s delightfully campy and even scary at times. It gets better the more I let it sit with me.

According to my PSI I should hate this movie, but I thought it was pretty fun. Even if I had no fun watching this movie, this isn't a terrible movie by any measure. Karyn Kusama's direction is good, Megan Fox shows more chops than she does in the Transformers, and Amanda Seyfried is great as the emotionally fragile Needy (despite the heavy as a bag of hammers metaphor of a name). As for Cody's writing- she can be hit or miss with her one-liners but otherwise she is a solid storyteller.

Don't quite get the hate for this. No, it didn't deserve any awards or anything. But, it had it's funny moments, and essentially did what it set out to do, some sort of hybrid of 80's teen movies crossed with Species.

Who is this movie for? Ignoring the horrific disservice its advertising did to it, it's too smart and knowing for kids to appreciate it, and too schlocky to be an adult treatise on the matter. Also "pfff Amanda Seyfried, what an uggo!" is not something I expected 2009 to say.

You know, the direction's actually pretty decent and it definitely delivers in the hot girl department, despite the lack of nudity. Unfortunately neither of those things save it from a cliched stupid plot and horrendous dialogue.

Surprisingly excellent! Scary, hilarious, gory, outlandish, weird, disturbing, stylish, not-at-all-serious, well cast, and, most importantly, extremely clever. Diablo Cody's sophomore writing effort fully delivers as the Juno of horror movies, her comic sensibilities are so well suited for this genre, and perhaps succeeds in being an even stronger, more original effort than Juno.

This film was released, like, a decade too early. There is a reason why its receiving a critical re-evaluation. It's a queer coming-of-age tale that was misinterpreted, if only because the culture wasn't ready to accept these stories. On another note, this offered as a nice piece of nostalgia, even if my high school experience ended years prior. My ears perked up when I heard a Black Kids song, as I thought I was never going to think about that song again.

A jack of all trades, master of none. It's trying to be funny, sharp, scary, hip, etc, but in the end it's nothing. And what's up with starting a rock-song every five minutes? It doesn't make the scene or acting any better. Unless you got the hot's for Megan, this might be interesting, but I suggest your time is better spent fapping to her google images or something.

Haha, "offing her male classmates". Get it? HANDJOB JOKE! Entertaining campy movie, and I like Diablo Cody; she manages to find something of a useful fit with her dialogue into this style of flick. Granted, it doesn't work like it worked in Juno - and often pushed past campy, into being worthy of ridicule. But I cannot, in good conscience, give a movie involving Meghan Fox making out with Amanda Seyfried anything less than a 75. I don't think Fox had to fly, though. Never trust Indy Rock bands.

Writer Cody certainly has a distinct writer's voice: girls r clearly the stars of her stories w/ boys confined 2 the more traditional female supporting roles. She also tries 2 steer clear of the more generic horror cliches, unfortunately that often means jarringly forced tonal shifts btwn "comedy" & horror that only insures neither works. Even worse however is her distractingly unfunny tendency (as she did in the 1st 30 mins of Juno) 2 have teens engage in constant ostensibly "cool" wordplay.

Hyped as Juno-writer Diablo Cody's sophomore script, this flick is too clever by half. No scares, no shocks, no laughs, just a load of supposedly teen-centric catchphrases which make it come across as cocky and smartass. Echoes of the classic Carrie but with zero tension. Although Seyfried had some good acting moments, they were cancelled out by Fox's bad ones. The only scene I really enjoyed was the lesbian kissing, I guess that makes both me and the movie pretty sad.

I guess I have to at least give this film props for having an original idea. It would help if that idea wasn't on the stupid side. This review might be a little biased since I passionately hate Diablo Cody, but it doesn't matter. It's got some pretty nice production value, but overall not enough to be memorable. And the occasional smart line of dialogue is completely overpowered by the wealth of cheezy, poorly placed, annoying-as-hell snarks and quips. Not worth it.

Comedy-horror in a high school setting with attempts to write Whedon-style snappy Buffy dialogue. But Cody is no Whedon and it made me realise how much Juno relied on Ellen Paige being able to deliver the goods. Here the same style is given to lesser actors and it falls flat. Fox isn't going to be picking up an Oscar anytime soon but she's noticeably better in this than the Transformers films, and for all its failings this never becomes boring.

I think there's a decent feminist write up to be made from this thing (dealing with trauma, the relationships of women, etc.) that I won't touch on too much cause it's not my forte or place really. Besides that it's a really fun movie. The kills were quite good and there was buckets of blood. The humor in the film also worked quite well despite Cody's somewhat lacklustre script. Also, this had a great soundtrack (Hole, The Sword and Screeching Weasel).

The difficulty many of the actors have with Cody's tumbling dominoes of slangy dialogue simply proves what a splendid thespian magic act Ellen Page pulled off as Juno MacGuff. Fox actually does fairly well playing Jennifer before the monster movie conventions take over, hinting at the vulnerability behind her mean girl exterior. This doesn't mean that her friendship with the pretty nerd played by Seyfried makes a bit of sense. It's a contrivance in a movie that eventually is nothing but.

This viewer was not ready for J.K. Simmons with hair. Lots of violent tilty-head possessed girl shenanigans. It's a bit daft, but has just about enough to differentiate it from the majority of teen horror films. Which isn't to say it's particularly good, just different. They love dances in this kind of film, don't they? Will pass the time if you're in the mood.

It really wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but it wasn't very good at all. I get that they were trying to be comical, but the movie just wasn't that funny, it was boring, and there wasn't a lot of cohesion. There were a couple of decent parts, like when they go to see the band initially. But overall it just lacks. If you want to see a movie with a couple of hot chicks that sucks, just watch a porno instead.

I really wanted this to be the fun cheesy ironic teen horror flick that I've been waiting to embrace with popcorn in my hand and my brain in sleep mode, but the film turned out to be just plain old irritating. Megan Fox can't act at all, but I suppose her creepy plastic surgery face is fit for a scary succubus creature thing. (That was the point of casting her, right? Right?)

I was surprised by this movie. I thought that this movie was going to totally stink, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah, Megan Fox wasn't that great, but she was adequate enough and Amanda Seyfried was pretty good. I was surprised to see some of the actors from 80's sitcoms with small roles in them. Gotta kick out of that. It had a couple of tense moments, also had some bizarre moments as well. but nothing too creepy or anything all that funny. Was alright.

I am shocked by how much I enjoyed this. Diablo Cody's lame, 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 (although that could have been developed more), the indie rock band satire. Its fun, unpretentious, escapist fluff with bitchy teenage girls and heaps of blood, loved it.

Kusama really tries to elevate Cody's material, but there is not enough gore to sustain it for more than a few funny scenes. It's a really self-conscious film -- the fact that the band makes a deal with Satan, goes to internet to find a ritual and then makes it with a girl they just assume is a virgin is there to prove it does'nt take itself seriously. Still, it lacks at least one solid shot and the acting doesn't quite help.

I hesitate to call this film interesting because I'm not sure if it was. Megan Fox is awful in it, but the other female lead isn't bad at all. Like others have said, the film suffers from trying to straddle both horror and comedy lines. But I liked the basic premise: friend becomes an upstart and kills her empowered superior foil, and in doing so gains power. Only I wish the power had meant something, and the struggle had been worth watching. This could be done well in a comic.

I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd seen it as a teenager (it seems to have attained semi-cult status among people who were in high school when it was first released). Seeing it now, it just feels like an average Buffy rip-off with snappier writing.

An underrated horror/comedy that, beyond the campy imagery, is really about the death of a friendship. There's also some wonderful satire of media exploitation of personal tragedy, and overall the film is smarter than it looks.

Super campy with a ridiculous plot, I see all the downfalls people are complaining about but I had a blast watching it. Its completely over the top cheese.

As i was watching this, I wasn't expecting much. Actually I was expecting this to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen. But then I thought; What more can I expect from a teen slasher flick? it's sexy, gory, humorous, and violent. Also the fact that it had megan fox in it was awesome. (Actually the main reason I saw it). One more thing that i've noticed about Megan Fox is that she is really improving and starting to perform better in her films. Overall, this was a fun, enjoyable film. Best t

Diablo Cody is tries desperately to capture the quirks of her smash hit Juno, all the while throwing those quirks for an odd little spin through the horror genre. Constantly attempting wit along with horror seems to somehow fall flat.

The only movie I have ever walked out of in the middle. Meagan Fox is not a good actress, and this movie had no hope from the beginning.

Jennifer's Body doesn't work, nor do any of its individual elements. The writing doesn't fit, the acting is on the whole pretty poor, and there aren't any scares to be found here. There is no reason to watch this film, save for a good performance from Amanda Seyfried. But one performance in a sea of awful is not enough to save the film. Stay away from this one.

Adam Brody as a satanic indie rock star is by far the best part of this movie. If you can find the clip of him and his band performing the satanic ritual on youtube, you've seen the best this has to offer (aside from Megan Fox being all sexy the whole time). Then again, I haven't gone back to rewatch it, so it may have only been good within the context of the rest of the film being so underwhelming.

Diablo Cody is familiar with the horror genre, she makes this clear by namedropping legends like Argento and Lewis in her script for Juno, but she definitely isn't suited for actually competing with these masters of suspense and gore. In the end, with all its deficiencies, Jennifer's Body is actually a superior horror film than the usual fare we're subjected to, which isn't saying much. I can appreciate the black humor and witty dialogue, but Cody has a long way to mature as a storyteller.

Diablo Cody and Megan Fox seem to ellicit reactions from movie fans way beyond "reasonable". Whereas in Juno Cody's 'teenage super cool witty banter' really grated, because it was SO unbelieveable, here it is toned down and is often amusing. Megan fox is ALWAYS criticised for her acting, but here she is stunning to look at and more than adequately holds her own. This is a fun film, and Fox, Seyfried and Simmons are really likeable characters. Sure, its "throwaway" stuff, but so are 99% of films.

A dark comedy worth the fun to watch, and not a bit dum-to-watch at all. It was unrealistic view of the acceptance of everything but normal, yet still having the basis of a friendship and love. A fun horror watch indeed!

Others talk smack about this movie, but I love it. It does exactly what it sets out to do: it's a campy movie about hot teenagers, flesh-eating monsters and how much life sucks when you're growing up in a small town. The plot-line about the indie band is a bit tedious. But Needy, her boyfriend and Jennifer are all super fun. In terms of teen monster dramas, this ranks above The Craft and below Ginger Snaps.

What little fun that could've sprouted from the premise is squashed by the lack of desire to go far enough. With the recent release of Young Adult, I'm thinking Diablo Cody's writing works best when illuminating the underbelly of normalcy. In this case, she normalizes what should be supernatural and makes it mundane.

Tried to give it a chance, but it didn't happen. Me and my mate turned it off in the 45th minute I believe. It's just an awful film, with the overrated Megan Fox starring as Jennifer. The lesbian scene is the only reason this gets high enough to 10. A shocking film!

So if I was to say that I thought Megan Fox was actually decent in this movie, would I still be considered a legitimate reviewer? No? Okay...

Liking this a lot more upon rewatch 10 years later. Cody's dialogue is still hit-and-miss, but it feels like time has caught up with it (in a good way). The choice between victim and monster. The teen demon version of The Witch it's... not quite, but if there was a goat around, Jennifer would probably have some ideas to share.

Really not that bad. A lot more effort was given to making the film engaging than many horrors do by having plenty of funny dialogue, and engagement with the characters by having the problem have to do directly with them than some arbitrary cosmic horror.

Not funny, scary, or sexy. At least Amanda Seyfried tries.

Big noisy teen horror, more gory than creepy. Doesn't really work as a Rabid style body horror or as a Jeckyl and Hyde story. Fox is suitably 'alien' and Seyfried does well too. The Whedon-esque dialogue is what'll make or break this for you. I enjoyed it.

"Do you buy all your murder weapons at Home Depot?" it's one of those movies severely panned because studio's marketing department failed miserably. cody went on to write better scripts after this and I would expect better handling of the generic genre plot for a satire but this is still a decent comedy.

Except the Megan Fox's sexy scenes and the Lesbian scenes with Amanda Seyfried, this movie is full of shit. None sense weird and stupid thing. It's an horror movie without horror and it's thriller movie without THRILLER . If Michael Jackson raise up from his grave and would see that movie he probably wants to be dead again. But oh god thanks for creating womans like Megan Fox :P
PS. : Watch movie in 3x speed and only stop in sexy scenes. It will gain you 67 minutes of your life !

Roleplay, theme, screenplay,scenario,directing,acting was all so poor. And you become to expect nuditity like for most of the sexy dumb hot girl horror movies.. But thats also poor too.. So maybe this is the worst hollywood movie ı ever watch.

Its Wikipedia page contains a few paragraphs on retrospective reviews that suggest it may be a “forgotten feminist classic”, but I’d say that that’s (fully valid) wishful thinking. Everything in this has aged poorly. R-slurs, racism, and a general failure to actually address the abuse of or empower its women would make this a particularly difficult watch - if it weren’t also just a campy noughties thriller full of horrible outfits and ridiculous colloquialisms to chuckle at.

This is a joke and shows Diablo Cody was lightning that strikes once and how Megan Fox is and always will be nothing more than eye candy on the screen. The story is pointless, there is no scares here, & the direction is so fumbled around you shoulda just had a monkey could do better. The movie is horse sh*t but miss seyfield saves the day. She gets 20 not this sorry excuse for horror
