Review: Jennifer's Body (2009)
Rating: 8.9 of 10
Jennifer (Megan Fox) is the most beautiful girl in Devil’s Kettle High School, while her best friend Anita “Needy” (Amanda Seyfried) is a frumpy, simple girl. Needy have been loyal to Jennifer for all of her life, but she just might have to fight Jennifer when she turned evil–not just “high school evil”, but “evil, evil.”
Let me say this: Jennifer’s Body is really good, but sadly it flopped at the box office (and received only lukewarm, some might even say negative, response from the critics), because nobody knew what to expect. The somewhat tacky poster gives the impression of a hormone infused B-movie, the demonic premise implies a scary movie, and the “comedy” label tacked-on on promotional pieces lead people to expect more laugh-out-loud moments. Instead, Jennifer’s Body is none of that–or all of that and more, depending on your point of view.
I would say the best way to describe Jennifer’s Body is that it’s a teen drama movie, with some horror/supernatural stuff mixed in. Think Mean Girls, but with actual murder. Both Jennifer’s Body and Mean Girls have the same wit, the same commentary on high-school female friendship dynamics, and the same emotional resonance between the two lead girls. Okay, Jennifer’s Body is not as funny as Mean Girls and not nearly as quotable, but I don’t think it was ever meant to be as funny as Mean Girls (I meant it when I said Jennifer’s Body barely qualifies as a comedy, but I do think Jennifer’s Body and Mean Girls have the same spirit). The horror stuff are an integral part of the story, but they’re clearly not meant to shock or scare you “just because”. It's pretty funny, but not at the expense of its story. It’s also sexy, but in the way that serves the story. At the core, Jennifer’s Body is just a drama between two friends–and a very effective one at that. It’s also worth noting that Jennifer’s Body is written and directed by women, and that makes Jennifer’s Body a uniquely female horror movie. I understand that not everybody’s gonna understand what Jennifer’s Body is trying to do, but I definitely enjoyed it.
I also believe, it flopped because audiences have rock-bottom expectations of Megan Fox. Megan Fox has been the poster girl of bad movies and bad characters (although not nearly half of it are her fault), that people just assume that Jennifer’s Body will be terrible and not go see it. But after Amanda Seyfried’s flawless performance as Needy, Megan Fox is actually one of the highlights of the movie. Yes, her character Jennifer is shallow, promiscuous, and manipulative, but Fox played her with such degree of self-awareness that it’s a delight to see.
TL;DR If you’re looking for a fun, sexy horror movie with emotional weight, Jennifer’s Body might be the one for you.
Mamma Mia lineup for character design class!
Yeah, an utterly fabulous movie. I also loved Harry’s pidgin French as someone who speaks French, that was hilarious.
thoughts after Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again
this movie single-handedly saved this year
holy damn now I understand why Donna slept with all three guys?!?!??
and why the guys fell for her so quick??
literally every person in the movie is a bisexual dream
young Tanya? I’m in love.
Sky got older but daaaamn he got better
the songs were so good
Colin Firth during Dancing Queen cleared my skin, watered my corps and cured my depression
young Bill could get it, like, any time
the guy checking the passports at the dock is way too relatable
the girl in the first row in the church when Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried were singing together is me
Aunt Sofia is so badass, she’s like the Grandma in Mulan
when Harry said he’s spontaneous person I literally snorted loudly
so many great references to the first movie
every single outfit Cher wore was Iconic™
Bill and Harry doing the Titanic pose during Dancing Queen
the way they cut Sophie and Sky singing One of Us in the beginning was so beautiful and smooth and probably my favourite scene in the whole movie
this:
Sophie: Sky!
Sky: I haven’t told anyone!
Sophie: I only told Sam.
Sam: I only told Bill.
Bill: I only told Harry.
Harry: I told many, many people.
seriously Dancing Queen was so good and fun I almost started clapping and cheering when it ended before I realised I’m in a movie theater and I shouldn’t
the dance in Waterloo!! young Harry didn’t get too much screen time, but that was breathtaking
I honestly didn’t want the movie to end. I just wanted two more hours of it
JUST DO A FAVOUR FOR YOURSELF AND WATCH IT
