Description

Fox herself worried that the film's subtler message might be obscured by misperceptions. As she told The New York Times Magazine, "The movie is about a man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader, and that pretty much eliminates middle America. It's obviously a girl-power movie, but it's also about how scary girls are… If I was to have a message, it would be to be a different kind of role model to girls. With Jennifer's Body, I want to say, It's OK to be different from how you're supposed to be. I worry that's totally lost." Frazier, Adam (December 15, 2007). "Jennifer's Body". Counting Down The Hours. Archived from the original on July 8, 2011 . Retrieved April 9, 2008.

Jennifer's Body is a similar attempt to create a horror film (or in this case a horror-comedy) primary driven by and about women. While both films are written by women (Moira Buffini and Diablo Cody respectively), this one also has a female director in the shape of Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux). Ultimately it's neither scary nor funny enough to match the standards of the best horror-comedies, but it's an interesting little film worthy of its cult status which deserved to do better at the box office. Our own Peter Bradshaw is also quietly impressed. "Fox is pretty scary, though somehow not as scary as she was in Transformers," he points out. "Amanda Seyfried is convincing as her timid best friend." The honest truth is Jennifer’s Body is not really a sexy movie in the way that it was advertised. It’s much weirder and much more unsettling than that. The "waterfall that goes nowhere" is the Devil's Kettle, at Judge Magney State Park in Minnesota. The water disappears into a glacial pothole.Jennifer’s Body is not funny, nor is it sexy (the girls keep their clothes on), nor is it scary (it’s all just special effects),” said Combustible Celluloid. When Jennifer is lighting her tongue with the lighter, her hair is front of her ear in distant shots, then behind her ear in the close-up. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Desowitz, Bill (September 22, 2009).

Retrieved September 26, 2009.Only Time Magazine's Mary F Pols seemed to have found a more subtle approach in the film, writing that "[Its] depiction of the ways in which women like Needy are willing to compromise themselves to indulge an ultimately less secure friend is spot-on." According to the screenwriter, Diablo Cody, the film was marketed "all wrong". She had argued with executives who wanted "to market this to boys who like Megan Fox. That's who's going to see it. And I was like. No! This is a movie for girls too! That audience, they did not attempt to reach." [53]

I’m sure that if the film opened today, it would be a sleeper hit,” said Horror Geek Life in February. “As it is, one day they’ll be teaching it at the intersections of cinema studies, film theory, and women’s studies.” Giving a partially negative review of the film was Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York, who said the "movie has a centerfold sheen to it—and some lesbianic soft-core flirtation to match—as its plot dives deeply into Twilight-esque heavy-melo meltdown in the last act" and that "Cody throws one too many losses at Needy; the screenwriter loses her satiric way about halfway through. But for a while, this has real fangs". [45] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post said, "There's a certain kooky, kinky fun to be had with Jennifer's Body" but that "[a]dmittedly, this is the stuff of lurid adolescent distraction, not great cinema" and "is strictly a niche item but provides a goofy, campy bookend to Drag Me to Hell (2009) on the B-movie shelf. Watch it, forget it, move on". [46] San Francisco Chronicle 's Peter Hartlaub stated, "Enjoy the film for its witty dialogue and fun performances, but know that there isn't a single good scare. An episode of Murder, She Wrote has more thrills." [8] Hartlaub felt the film is not bad, is "almost always pleasing" and that Fox "proves that she has some [acting] range" but "the chances that it will be somebody else's pop culture reference 27 years from now are slim to none". [8] Joe Neumaier of New York Daily News said, "Fox merely needs to look either vacant or evil, which the Transformers boy-toy does spookily well" but "[w]ords and story are still the lifeblood of a movie, and Jennifer's Body is filled like a Twinkie with half-fleshed-out ideas". [47] Disagreeing with Fox's performance, Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips called Fox "a pretty bad actress" who "doesn't seem to get Cody's sense of humor. At all". [48] He reasoned the "movie's partially redeemed by Seyfried, who makes her character more than a repository for audience sympathy" and "her make-out scene with Fox is handled with more suspense and care than anything else in the movie".

Patience and time

Retrieved September 26, 2009. Nine years later, the tables have turned. Now, Jennifer’s Body shows up on New York Times lists of great horror movies directed by women. The Telegraph thinks it’s Cody’s “oddest and most intriguing work.” Syfy Wire has declared it “still socially relevant.” a b c d e f g h i j k Kwan, Jennifer (September 14, 2009). "Cody exorcises demons from "Jennifer's Body" ". Reuters. Archived from the original on September 18, 2009 . Retrieved September 23, 2009. Unfortunately, what the film was doing is still unusual in today's cinema landscape. As Grady said in Vox: "Jennifer's Body is good now. More precisely, Jennifer's Body was always good, and everyone is just now starting to get on its level."

At some point over the last 10 years, people began rediscovering Jennifer's Body via DVD/Blu-Ray and streaming services. And the narrative surrounding the film slowly started to shift; it's now being touted as an iconic feminist horror cult classic. (Fox also starred in the 2010 critical and box office failure, Jonah Hex, based on the DC Comics antihero, which did not experience the same redemptive arc—probably because it is a genuinely bad movie.) The reclamation of Jennifer’s Body that we’re witnessing now begins by tossing out any attempts to read the movie as a fantasy for men. Instead, Jennifer’s Body apologists read it as a fantasy for women — and when you look at the movie that way, everything starts to change.

About the movie

The men in this movie are really beside the point. Some of them are victims and some of them are antagonists, but none of them are as important as Jennifer and Needy — either to each other or to the audience. The fate of Jennifer’s Body speaks to the question of who gets to set the conversation on what movies Jones, Brent (September 2, 2009). " 'Jennifer's Body' creeps into theaters ... and comics". USA Today. Archived from the original on March 4, 2016 . Retrieved September 27, 2009. There's something deeper going on within story which I'm not going to even try to analyze or express. If someone wants to start a discussion around this in the comments I'll try to contribute some of my thoughts. Channel 4 Film's Catherine Bray is one of the few to deliver a positive verdict, and even she can only summon up three and a half stars out of a possible five.
