Comments: I'm not exactly sure why there was so much negativity surrounding Jennifer's Body. It's an extremely entertaining comedy-horror hybrid that never sets out to be anything that it isn't. Sure, it's not Juno, but Diablo Cody's script is solid (as solid as a movie about sacrificing a virgin and demons can be) and her dialogue is as ingenious as ever. There were so many funny lines and quips that I was consistently impressed with her creativity. The only part I found annoying was the voice-over used when the always reliable Adam Brody was singing; it sounds absolutely nothing like him and it was very strange watching him lip sync. Otherwise, Jennifer's Body is a solid piece of entertainment that most should enjoy. Don't take the movie seriously, as it's not meant to be seen that way. Take it for how awesome it is to hear Megan Fox talking about getting it up the ass, for all the side-boob shots, for the great humor, and because it's completely awesome to see Fox and Amanda Seyfried make out, tongue and all.
