Synopsis
With a script from JUNO scribe Diablo Cody, JENNIFER'S BODY smashes together horror and high-school comedy. Megan Fox (TRANSFORMERS) stars as Jennifer, a student whose lithe body hides a flesh-hungry demon. She begins targeting male students, while her friend (Amanda Seyfried, MAMMA MIA!) looks on in terror. Jason Reitman (also of JUNO fame) produces this film that stars Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons, and Amy Sedaris.
Reviews
"[Horror fans] will get a kick out of this absurd yarn of a high-school hottie-turned-psycho cannibal....And there is enough of those arch, self-conscious comic lines to remind us this is a Cody screenplay." (Hollywood Reporter)
3 stars out of 5 -- "There is within Diablo Cody the soul of an artist, and her screenplay brings to this material a certain edge, a kind of gleeful relish, that's uncompromising." (Chicago Sun-Times)
"[With] a sensibility that mixes playful pop-culture ingenuity with a healthy shot of feminist anger." (New York Times)

3 stars out of 4 -- “It’s the smarts in the script by JUNO’s Diablo Cody that sneak up on you....Fox shows a comic flair that TRANSFORMERS never investigated.” (Rolling Stone)
3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith a script by JUNO scribe Diablo Cody that's loaded with gimmicky teen-speak and one-liners....A superior slice of snarky, entertaining escapism." (Total Film)
