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

Consensus: Jennifer's Body features occasionally clever dialogue but the horror/comic premise fails to be either funny or scary enough to satisfy.

Reviews for Jennifer's Body
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.
11/06/09
An enjoyable teen horror with terrific performances and a nice line in jet-black humour thanks to Diablo Cody's excellent script.
11/06/09
Despite a few good ideas and flashes of genius in the script, the whole film is a total bore.
11/06/09
The satirical spin on female sexuality and high-school hierarchies implied by its Carrie-meets-Heathers cinematic reference points are more confused than cutting, and there's also a fatal lack of genuine scares.
11/06/09
A snappy script and a lively approach to the genre make this a gleefully grisly teen horror movie thoroughly entertaining
11/05/09
Occupying similar territory to Heathers (1988), Ginger Snaps (2000) and Teeth (2007), Karyn Kusama's film is sharp, witty and diabolically funny
11/04/09
It's more clever than funny ha-ha, and has a handful of seriously creepy moments ... the movie a smarty-pants horror buff cooks up while ticking off grade-Z slasher clichés.
11/03/09
Cody's blend of humor, horror, and satire is not entirely assured, though she scores more hits than misses as she explores both the victimizing and predatory nature of female sexuality
10/31/09
We've seen episodes of Supernatural that are scarier and funnier - plus Megan Fox has a "no nudity" clause in her contract!
10/21/09
Though Fox and Seyfried are convincing, the rest leaves little to be desired in the end with a clunky pace and distracting screenplay...
10/17/09
Tonally inconsistent, at least it errs on the side of ambition and cleverness; its box-office failure suggests that male genre fans don't want to be asked to identify with the victims instead of the menace.
10/06/09
Feeling awfully long for a short movie, two-dimensional characters and spotty editing fail to capitalize on a clever idea.

Your better smelling garbage teen horror pic.
09/27/09
'Jennifer's Body' is a good idea that just doesn't stack up.
09/26/09
What might have been a penetrating high school comedy - a new Heathers or Mean Girls - turns out to be nothing more than a cheap horror flick packed with lowbrow titillation.
09/25/09
A pathetically worthless horror piece from nearly top to bottom that fails in virtually every genre and subgenre it wanders into.
