Leave your thoughts about Jennifer's Body.
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealThis movie thrives on its intended level of Scream-style horror comedy, blazes through its running time and had me laughing throughout. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyPunctuated by gory episodes, but lacking in suspense and surprise, "Jennifer's Body" works more as a teen sex endorsement ad for hormone-raging audiences to copy their on-screen peers. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsJohn P. McCarthyMore funny than scary, 'Jennifer's Body' is a bodacious tease. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...had the potential to bring some real girl power to the horror genre [but] it's a major disappointment across the board. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeDiablo Cody and director Karyn Kusama seem less interested in cheap scares than in something more substantive: exploring the purgatorial existence of teens caught between being kids and adults. |
| CinematicalTodd GilchristJennifer's Body substitutes hipster credibility for emotional currency, confuses pop-psychology insight with substantive social commentary, and measures terror on a scale that ranges from the word boo to a dead spider. |
| Film ThreatNick AntoscaThe difference between “Juno” and Jennifer’s Body, I realized, was that Diablo Cody's disgustingly smug dialogue -- supposedly so winning when spoken by Juno -- is much easier to swallow when it comes from characters who actually are disgustingly smug -- like Jennifer. |
| SlateDana StevensA wicked black comedy with unexpected emotional resonance, one of the most purely pleasurable movies of the year so far. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's not art, it's not “Juno,” it's not “Girlfight,” for that matter, but as a movie about a flesh-eating cheerleader, it's better than it has to be. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThe film is not without merit and has more corpses and red corpuscles than the anaemic Twilight series of vampire flicks. |
