Title: Jennifer's Body
Post by: taolurker on September 03, 2009, 10:20:03 PM
So I saw a commercial trailer for this, and it's a horror movie with Megan Fox playing a High School girl possessed by a devil.

It looks pretty predictable and about the only thing that intrigues me is Megan Fox, and maybe the soundtrack.

Trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0dq3ToOBwM

Rumor was she was possibly going to be appearing nude in this but it was cut or fabricated.  :ye_gods:

There were some internet images though

I would like a review of this before trying to find a bad bootleg on the street in the City, so if anyone goes to see it please post and spill everything.

It's written by the Diablo Cody who wrote "Juno" and directed by the woman who helmed "Girlfight" and "Aeon Flux".  That already gives it a level of unpredictability as it isn't being made by geeky boys who want to do nothing more than get girls naked and then see them suffer.

This in and of itself makes me stabby.

I watched a few episodes of "The United States of Tara", the TV show also written by Diablo Cody. It just reinforced my view that she just can't write dialogue for anyone who isn't a teenaged / young adult female. It just comes out sounding wrong.

The only reason at all to possibly see this movie is if Megan Fox has a nude sex scene.  And then you could just download it instead.

Since it appears that there is no such scene, bzzzzt.

Oddly enough I have some hope for this. It looks like it could be just the right kind of quirky to make me enjoy it.

This showed up on one of my movie channels so I Tivoed it. I mean, I love making fun of shitty shit movies and Megan Fox is hot so how bad could it be?

FUCKING AWFUL. There is about 30 seconds of girl-on-girl snogging that's kind of hot (Fox and the blonde kissing). Everything else surrounding this movie is utter shit. Fox's character is a skanky ho with dialog that makes her sound like a hipster retard BEFORE she gets possessed. She's even less interesting after that. The movie is also a bit gross. I'm not squeamish but it was just nauseating in parts. Find the Girl-on-Girl action somewhere on the Interwebz and leave this shit piece alone.

This was Diablo Cody's follow-up to "Juno", right?

That's what I thought, I love quirky movies as well as bad movies but this was just plain bad in a not enjoyable way.

Some of the writing was just so so bad, I realize that's kind of Diablo Cody's thing but I think I mentally checked out after someone used "freaktarded."

Yeah it was Diablo Cody. Most of the characters besides Megan Fox had acceptable dialog. It wasn't great, but it wasn't ear-stabbingly bad like Juno. Fox's dialog, however, was everything that was wrong with Juno in the mouth of an "actress" with none of the talent of Ellen Page.
