Lets get this out of the way first. I think Megan Fox is a horrible actress in every way. each time I see her in something she makes the movie worse. She has the look of a mentally ill prostitute on some kind of drug. I also dont like Diablo cody who wrote this film. Her ridiculously over the top hip dialogue is mostly awful. While the dialogue in Jennifer's body is not as bad as Juno it is still a bit painful at times. Now onto the film. This pretty much a more boring and crappy version of Carrie. Think of every single teen movie cliche mixed with most horror movie cliches and you have jennifer's body. Anyway for various stupid reasons revolving around a fire at a bar, Megan Fox's character Jennifer gets a thirst for human blood and her friend Needy must try and stop her.
First of all Needy is a stupid name. Second of all this film could have been a bit better with another actress instead of Megan Fox. Someone like Evan Rachel Wood would work. The only reason Megan Fox was cast is her looks, which I find quite overrated. The film is pretty predictable, Jennifer kills people and various crappy comedy is thrown in for the hell of it. There is a random lesbian thing thrown in too, which some may see as being an important scene, but no it is not. That scene is there because guys like to watch girls make out. I know people may say the scene shows the power Jennifer has over people, but there are so many ways that could be shown that aren't crap. Overall this is a bad movie. Not so bad its funny, but bad in a trying to hard to be funny at times way. The only good thing about the movie is the Needy character. Stupid name aside, she was a pretty good character and the actress who played her wasn't bad either. The painfully bad dialogue, Megan Fox, and pointless lesbian scene make this one of the worst movies I have seen this year. I love cheesy horror films, but this one just tried too hard.
Overall I give it a 2 out of 10.
