Hi,
Last night’s movie was Jennifer’s Body, directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux), written by Diablo Coby (Juno). Starring Megan Fox (Transformers), Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia) and Adam Brody (The O.C).
Two high school girls, best friends since childhood, have their world turned upside down when one becomes a man eating demon!
I was looking forward to this, not just for the concept of the film, demon man-eating female, but for the writing and also seeing if Megan Fox could act. Well talk about disappointed on most counts.
If this was a horror – comedy if failed in both genres, I didn’t find it remotely funny, not even darkly funny, and as a horror film it had no scares, no tension and not much gore! This is a man eating demon there should have been plenty of gore.
As you might have guessed the writing wasn’t that funny, if people are comparing this to Heathers or Mean Girls for the bitchy script it’s not a patch on either of them.
The acting, I will give Fox the benefit of the doubt here, I think she was let down by a poor script and not the best direction so I’ll reserve judgement for now. She wasn’t bad though!
Overall, not really impressed by much at all from this film, the soundtrack was possible the best thing in it. (3/10)
Well had reasonable hopes for this film until I read some of the reviews. My expectations fell and I went in expecting the worst. The film wasn't particularly good or funny but my extremely low expecatations buffered my actual experience. Ok it wasn't the best film in the world but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Almost everything apart from the soundtrack was sub standard. Not a DVD purchase 4/10
