Despite a strong premise, Megan Fox, and a screenplay by Juno darling Diablo Cody, it appears Jennifer's Body is more than a little bit of a letdown.
"Jennifer's Body represents a cornucopia of ideas, both comedy and horror, and the determination of the filmmakers to simply play the odds of getting more elements right than wrong instead of pursuing a purer vision makes it a mixed viewing experience, though often a very strange and funny one."
— Ryan Stewart, Slant Magazine
"An unoriginal and mostly unscary horror-comedy from, surprisingly, the pen of Diablo Cody."
— Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
"A premeditated cult classic..."
— Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
"...this high school horror romp tackles its bad-girl-gone-really-bad premise with eye-rolling obviousness and, fatally, a near-total absence of real scares."
— Justin Chang, Variety
