The makers of "Jennifer's Body" probably knew that what they set out to make wasn't to be taken too seriously!
How else would you explain Oscar winner Diablo Cody penning such a laughably ridiculous teeny-bopper-Gothic-satanic-horror-comedy and whatever-other-genre-you-wanna-add picture!
Megan Fox stars as Jennifer, the flirtatious teen who is the hottest girl in school and best friends with one of the nerdiest girl with specs, Needy (Amanda Seyfried). Both of them venture out to a rock concert in one of the local bars at Devil's Kettle (the name of the town they live in). That is where the fateful events depicted in this funny film start to take shape!
At the outset, it seems like some stupid teenybopper horror flick with lots of stupid dialog. But then it seems to get cleverer in a couple of scenes or more! The dialog gets better too. Further in the film, the 'horror' premise does show a little bit of promise, but ultimately it all comes down and what is offered to us is the same old nonsense that you may have seen in countless B-horror films albeit with some fresh faces and that's about it!
That said, this film does have some juicy moments for those looking for some wet-dream-come-true moments and plenty of gore to go along with it! Fox and Seyfriend deliver good performances to make this film at least somewhat watchable in its approximately 107 mins running time.
Otherwise it is passable fare! Watch if you have nothing better to do and you just happen to run into a DVD of this! 4/10..
