(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1   2/4 "Jennifer's Body is an ambitious film, but its juggling of two genres isn't up to par."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "There's not a moment in Jennifer's Body that's intentionally scary, and the characters never reach beyond the level of stereotype."   Examiner.com   Adam Lippe "Occupying similar territory to Heathers (1988), Ginger Snaps (2000) and Teeth (2007), Karyn Kusama's film is sharp, witty and diabolically funny"   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel 5/10 "Though it clearly admires %u2013 even borrows from %u2013 such solid girl-power smackdowns as Ginger Snaps and Heathers, Body fails to capture much of their bite."   CampBlood.org   Brian Juergens D "Cody still exercises her fastball now and again, aiming her one-liners toward the teen characters, who spit out the mallrat razzle-dazzle unconvincingly, as if reading the smeared verbal diarrhea off cue cards."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "about as formidable and entertaining as a case of blue balls."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin C "Punctuated 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."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2.5/4 "...a hopelessly uneven endeavor that's good for a few laughs but little else..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "Your better smelling garbage teen horror pic."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Jennifer's Body could strip away its violence and otherworldly elements and would still work as a supernaturally-tinged emblem of teenage life."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C+ "What felt fresh and original two years ago, in Juno, has lost its luster now."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "A pathetically worthless horror piece from nearly top to bottom that fails in virtually every genre and subgenre it wanders into."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B "It's better than Juno, I think: more layered, more interesting."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "Though Fox and Seyfried are convincing, the rest leaves little to be desired in the end with a clunky pace and distracting screenplay..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. C "You have to give Cody and her cohorts credit for trying to pump some new blood into a stale genre, and there are moments of inspired cleverness...but they're not frequent or sustained enough."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/4 "If you're in search for a way to ogle Megan Fox's body, there are a lot better ways to do it than subjecting yourself to this."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "the various ingredients Diablo Cody tosses into the script blender mix into a lumpy mess, rather than the smooth concoction you might expect."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "We've seen episodes of Supernatural that are scarier and funnier - plus Megan Fox has a "no nudity" clause in her contract!"   fantastiqueZINE   James O'Ehley 3/5 "" ... a brisk, bloody mix of gory horror and high school comedy, Mean Girls of Darkness or Army of Heathers, to put it in pitch-speak.""   Redbox   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy "More funny than scary, 'Jennifer's Body' is a bodacious tease."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   John P. McCarthy 1.0/4.0 "Feeling awfully long for a short movie, two-dimensional characters and spotty editing fail to capitalize on a clever idea."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 1.5/5 "The writing is amateurish, which is sad since it comes from an Oscar winner. The directing is self-defeating. And the lead actress is... well, is Megan Fox."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr D+ "...had the potential to bring some real girl power to the horror genre [but] it's a major disappointment across the board."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "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."   Horror Hacker   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "Wants a lot but doesn't manage to achieve any of it."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "It's as if everyone in Jennifer's Body knows they're a character in Jennifer's Body: The New Movie From Badass Chick Screenwriter Diablo Cody..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A good example of how someone [like writer Diablo Cody] with a fresh perspective and an original voice can make even a genre picture better."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Cody has a few nice points to make here about the frenemy dynamic of some girl-girl relationships: the drama, the connection, the power plays, and the excitement."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1/5 "A bag of goods that is so shabby that if it had been written by anyone else, it probably would have landed squarely in the direct-to-video trenches and even there, it would have suffered in comparison to its competitors."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3.5/5 "A snappy script and a lively approach to the genre make this a gleefully grisly teen horror movie thoroughly entertaining. And it also features terrific performances that break stereotypes and pull us into the carnage."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Stays on the level of a smarter-than-average Saturday-night demon-fest. It's still better than most of what we horror fans are served, haters be damned."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B- "The real saving grace of Jennifer's Body comes in the way its two principles play off against each other."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux 2.5/5 "The integral problem with Jennifer's Body is that of tone. Or lack thereof."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg  (1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 35% Rotten Page   1
