Critics Consensus

Jennifer's Body features occasionally clever dialogue, but its horror/comedy premise ultimately fails to be consistently funny or scary enough to satisfy.

Kjerstin Johnson Bitch Media It's not just a feminist thumbs down, it's like a... movie thumbs down. Dec 22, 2020 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com What I love about this movie is, surprisingly, that Megan Fox is excellent. Rated: A- Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Mark Kermode BBC.com Not without its problems, but it is an enjoyable romp. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) There’s so much righteous anger in this movie, not just about the way girls are treated and about bodily autonomy, but also about the recession and America’s weird post-9/11 jingoist patriotism. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review For a horror comedy, Jennifer’s Body is conspicuously unfunny and unscary. Rated: 1/4 Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry While not all elements of the film fail to come together as cohesively as others, Jennifer’s Body proves itself to be one wild, satirically horrific experience.

Ralph R Rewatching Jennifer's Body reminds me why it left such an impression the first time around. The opening narration paired with the "before and after" sequence was a brilliant way to introduce the characters and set the tone for what was to come. It strikes a balance between ominous and quirky, pulling you into the strange, twisted world of Devil's Kettle. Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried's chemistry is one of the highlights. Their dynamic as Jennifer and Needy feels authentic, charged with tension, and full of layers. Megan Fox, often criticized for her emotional range, really brought something extra to this role. She captures Jennifer's dangerous allure and underlying insecurities in a way that makes her both menacing and fascinating. And let's be honest-Fox's charisma and screen presence are off the charts here. What I like is that the movie has more going on under the surface. Sure, it's about a demon-possessed cheerleader eating boys, but there's also stuff about friendship, jealousy, and even how women are underestimated or exploited. There's a lot of deeper meaning if you take the time to think about it (or look it up online, let's be honest). The production overall was pretty good. The locations were well chosen, and the cinematography had some cool details, like those subtle shifts in perspective with handheld shots and close-ups. It really added to the tension without being too flashy. For me, Jennifer's Body is one of those movies that just works. It's fun, has great performances, and leaves you thinking a bit more than you'd expect from a horror-comedy. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth a rewatch-and yeah, Megan Fox totally owned this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Audience Member lo mejor de la pelicula es definitivamente la relacion de las protagonistas, lo demas es disfrutable pero nada del otro mundo Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review joão batista d this film is horror movie but try be serious Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review akakwkwjabdje p 1 estrela por ser clássico, mas o filmezin ruim Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Ilove A Did we all watch the same movie…. Why is the rating so low… Anywho, this movie honestly changed my outlook on the world. How Jennifer being the popular girl she is can still have her own problems. How everyone experiences that feeling of not belonging. Maybe you all aren’t looking at the real meaning behind the movie but it’s a fantastic movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Hailee B I'm not going to lie, this was a movie, but Megan Fox and Needy had me on my knees weirdly kind of m. Damn, that band group im glad she went after them at the end of the movie and happy she got some abilities. Needy is the bad ass now go get em, girl!!!
