Strictly average movie

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

And to the person above who asked "am I the only one?" No, you're not. I did not like Juno at all and this movie is just embarrassing... this actually deserves a negative rating.

Jennifer's Body sure is a different kind of film. Megan fox did really well with her starring role of Jennifer. I also really liked Amanda Seyfried here in her co-starring role. I feel like the rest of the cast did a pretty good job, and I especially liked the actor that played Chip, Amanda's boyfriend, I just really thought that that was a good casting decision and I really liked how they developed his character. Amanda and her boyfriend chips chemistry and relationship was very well-developed in the movie. I also thought the acting was really good, and the writing wasn't too bad, it's pretty average for a teenage flick. Some of the killings and the bloody violence was just a bit too gory for my taste and I thought went too far. There is one particular scene in which the killing and the aftermath is just so graphically portray that it's hard to keep looking at the screen. Also, during the Satanic ritual in which the band sacrifices Jennifer, I thought that the way they went about it was kinda strange, I thought that scene was both layed out poorly and written poorly. You certainly do get a lot of things that you don't usually see a lot of in a movie with Jennifer's Body. That list includes a Satanic ritual and sacrifice, spontaneous totally out of the blue lesbianism (that seemed forced and didn't make a lot of sense to me), and such heavy material geared towards the high school age group. Overall, Jennifers body is a pretty average teenage flick with good acting but far too graphic bloody violence.

Released in 2009 and directed by Karyn Kusama, "Jennifer's Body" stars Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried as curious best friends in Devil's Kettle, Minnesota. I say "curious" because the former is a hot cheerleader and the latter is a geek. When an up-and-coming band from Minneapolis plays at the local bar Jennifer (Fox) disappears in the band's van and returns beat up and evidently malevolent. As bodies start piling up, Needy (Seyfried) and her beau (Johnny Simmons) try to solve the mystery.Fox is superb in the title role. She's undeniably foxy, but she's not my type. The same goes for the too-thin Seyfried, although Amanda certainly has a stunning face. While "Jennifer's Body" isn't as good as I expected it to be, it's good enough to marginally recommend if you like horror flicks in the high school/vampire vein. The tone is odd in that it tries to be serious while not taking itself too seriously. There's also a questionable subplot obviously derived from the tragic Station Nightclub Fire of February 20, 2003.The film runs 102 minutes (107 minutes unrated) and was shot in the Vancouver area and Devil's Kettle Falls, Minnesota.GRADE: B-

Jennifer's Body (2009): Dir: Karyn Kusama / Cast: Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, J.K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris: Here is an interesting take on vampires that may remind viewers on the puberty reference in the werewolf film Ginger Snaps. Title regards infatuation as well as the male student body in which Jennifer feeds upon. She is a cheerleader who was a sacrifice to Satan by a struggling rock band. When she resurfaces she has vampire powers and feeds on the blood of males in order to retain her youth. Well written although third act is the standard face off. Directed by Karyn Kusama with ominous production visuals. Megan Fox is enchanting as Jennifer going from seductive cheerleader to vicious vampire. Amanda Seyfried plays her long time best friend who loses Jennifer at a concert only to have her resurface drenched in blood. She plays a great counterpart to Fox since both have very different backgrounds in film. We can expect a cat fight between the two as well as revenge on the cult band. Johnny Simmons plays Seyfried's boyfriend who becomes a target for Jennifer until Seyfried cuts in. Unfortunately this subplot ends on a sour note. Only J.K. Simmons as a professor is underused, which is unfortunate since he has been known as a scene stealer in past movies. Graphic and steamy horror entertainment recommended to vampire fans. Score: 5 ½ / 10
