Diablo Cody's new movie Jennifer's Body starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried opened last night at the Toronto Film Festival, and some reviewers are saying that movie just doesn't deliver. One review says, "The film will most disappoint those who hoped Juno had introduced a writer with a fresh point of view about young people in today's world."
However, horror film fans will be entertained by the absurd story because of the bloody visual images and the use of shadow and gloom. The story follows best friends Jennifer (Megan) and Needy (Amanda) who go to see a concert by Adam Brody's character's band. While there, a freak fire occurs killing many. And since the band made a deal with the devil to sacrifice a virgin, Jennifer's body becomes possessed by demons. Also, because she was not a virgin, she becomes a man-eater.
The reviews also state that the director, Karyn Kusama has made her actors really over do it with the emotions, making the characters into caricatures. It probably would have been better if she had just made them play it normally, so as not to force the audience to go "This is a comedy."
Overall, the movie is said to be entertaining, and how can it not be when Megan Fox is eating men? I don't think she's particularly hot or talented, but I know loads of people who would really buy or see anything she's in. I just really open that the opening is to Hall & Oates "Maneater".
