Jennifer's Body - Jungs nach ihrem Geschmack

Meine Herren, das ist aber ein reiner Drehbuch- und Regie-Trash. Und daran ändern auch die Tatsachen nichts, dass im Film einige gute Sprüche sind, dass man in ihm ständig fickt und dass in ihm die feuchteste Muschi des gegenwärtigen Showbusiness halbnackt erscheint. (13.03.2010)

He, he! This is no silly wannabe horror for teenagers, but a very well made and sharp satirical comedy that requires an audience with a sense for insight. With Megan Fox I wasn’t sure until the end whether she acts like that because she doesn’t know any better, or because that’s what they wanted from her. Either way, I got used to it after a few minutes and it no longer irritated me. We could argue about the story and the way it develops, but I will refrain from it this time because I don’t think it’s important – what matters here are the dialogues and the one-liners. If you want to enjoy Jennifer’s Body, you will enjoy it. 7/10 (03.11.2009)

This was a nice surprise. The grapevine lied (deliberately?) and the end result is a fine girly adventure where a guy doesn't necessarily have to be ashamed of his own balls, although it's clear beyond measure that Diablo Cody is surely healing some of his low self-esteem issues by writing them down, and through his protagonists. Moreover, when a woman is behind the camera and the main character is played by probably the hottest hot ass of my generation, you can either solemnly throw it off the cliff of eternal damnation or accept the rules of the game, which requires the optics of horny high school girls. The throat-biting is the least of it. PS: The unconventional soundtrack suits the film. (13.11.2009)

A movie centered on Megan Fox can't turn out well. She might be fine as an added element to Transformers, but a lead role is a bit much for her. Amanda Seyfried, on the other hand, surprised me again and proves she can play almost any role. I didn't like the film's music at all, though. I felt that it steered the film in a completely different direction than intended. This made it very unpleasant to watch. The direction is also not top notch... hence the 2.5 stars. (02.08.2011)

It wasn’t as bad as I feared. The screenplay was definitely intriguing and, in a thieving blend way, original (you see, nobody has blended these ingredients together before now). In terms of acting, pretty decent (even Megan managed to squeeze something out if herself) and, if it weren’t for the tired direction, maybe I would have given one more star. (27.11.2009)

While Megan deserves a full rating on her own, Amanda doesn't look too bad either, and the film itself surprised me several times with a good idea and a quality scene, it's still nothing more than a terrible mess full of stale sexual innuendo that blends comedy and horror as clumsily as one could possibly imagine. To be more precise, it's neither funny enough to be a comedy, nor scary or gory enough to even resemble a horror movie, which is a pretty big problem. So what does it matter that the hottest chick of the moment is in front of the camera half-naked and showing her breasts when she is part of such a boring and bland spectacle? And what on earth prompted the iconic Bishop to join in the crazy feminist games at the end? I felt really sorry for him. :) 50% (05.07.2013)

The film "Jennifer's Body - Watch Out, She Bites!" is actually a classic movie about how to deal with finishing high school. But it is presented as a horror film, a very bloody horror film that actually works and has strong aspects precisely because it goes beyond the limits of bloodiness, although not too much, and also because it is entertaining. I enjoyed this movie, although a bit of editing would definitely not hurt it. (12.10.2015)

Although the concept of the film is a thousand times warmed-over from perhaps every possible point of view, the story itself is told in a rather appealing way. Megan Fox is downright delectable (though unfortunately it works just the opposite), and together with Amanda Seyfried they have created the quintessential beautiful/ugly girl archetype. After the excellent Juno, Diablo Cody has strayed into slightly more "primitive" but all the more fun and darker waters, giving rise to a typical popcorn film that delights and works really well as an unpretentious diversion. A weaker 4 stars. (17.11.2009)
