Jennifer's Body



Jennifer's Body (2009)


Directed by: Karyn Kusama


Written by: Diablo Cody


Staring: Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody




Anita Lesnicki was once your regular teen with a boyfriend and her best friend by her side. Now Anita is a mental inmate in solitary confinement after a rare incident with her best friend. Jennifer is your typical girl next door, seductive and gorgeous. Despite all their differences and having nothing in common Jennifer and Annita are best friends. After both girls attend a concert at a bar, Jennifer starts acting really strange towards everyone. On some days she look her normal, beautiful self and on others she looks exhausted and slowly decaying. We find out about the events that led to this thrilling disaster.

Jennifer's Body is a perfect example of "Femme Fatale". Megan Fox plays a seductive role and ends up feeding off of men. Jennifer's Body had a ton of mixed reviews. Personally I really enjoed it. It's a black comedy so even though it has some gore I found it funny. I guess people didn't quite understand the black comedy part of the movie. The movie is dark and has lots of blood but you can't take it seriously. Its funny to me. Another reason why people did not like the movie was that Megan Fox did not show her body as much as people wanted to. Personally I'm fine with that!
