It's not just a feminist thumbs down, it's like a... movie thumbs down.

What I love about this movie is, surprisingly, that Megan Fox is excellent.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 28, 2020

Not without its problems, but it is an enjoyable romp.

The real shame is that, devoid of proper context, the dialogue now really does seem - as the Cody- haters contend - like little more than a series of unattached, curled-lip one-liners.

But while the movie is almost always pleasing, it never develops very much momentum.

The bitingly smart, funny teen-speak is carried over from "Juno," along with sharp pop culture references and a sassy feminist attitude, but the million-dollar question has to be: Is it scary? Only occasionally, I'm afraid.

This is the greatest movie of all time.

"Jennifer's Body" is not scary enough for horror and not knowing enough for commentary on horror.

| Feb 18, 2012

Has substantial bite.

| Original Score: B | Mar 30, 2010

By tapping in to the same vein of 'hormonal horror' as the excellent 'Ginger Snaps', this offers a witty, subversive look at the darker side of teen friendship.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2009

The premise - Mean Girls with demonic possession and a feminist subtext - is promising. But the film fails to deliver either laughs or scares in sufficient numbers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

A genre high-school horror flick with a satirical edge.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Although Jennifer's Body offers up both comedy and horror, each is doled out in only the meanest of amounts, with the film just scraping through to a lacklustre and unsatisfying finale.

Is it about female empowerment or is it a slasher story? Probably both, but it doesn't work as either.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

After the quick-fire wit of Juno, this is disappointing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

It's barely scary, but it's a treat for every boy (or girl) who'd hack off their right arm to hear Megan Fox purr: 'You've given me such a wettie.'

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Fox is fun as a demonic harpy, but sadly the meeting of Hollywood's two rock'n'roll queens is closer to safe studio product than slash-and-burn envelope-pusher.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Despite a few good ideas and flashes of genius in the script, the whole film is a total bore.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

The flashes of competence just emphasize the extent to which the film has no idea what it's doing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 21, 2009

[Cody's] glib teen-hip dialogue mostly feels like self-conscious splatter over a sorely lackluster scare flick.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2009
