Review
"The movie could have explored its intriguing ideas in even more depth, and it certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel. Jennifer's Body is still a better-than-average horror movie, and considerably more pointed too. Several moments are genuinely creepy. Other moments are darkly funny. Cody's script - under the director of Girlfight's Karyn Kusama, who brings a top-notch visual style - manages to combine those things into something that is a lot of wicked fun. The message: inside every adolescent girl is a figurative man-eater waiting to be unleashed. And inside every teen boy is a desire to be feasted on by the hottest girl in school. You can agree with that sentiment or not, but it may just define adolescent sexuality. If nothing else, it makes for a hell-raising good time at the movies." - Mike McGranaghan, The Aisle Seat
