Jennifer's Body (2009)

Easily and without a doubt the worst movie I've seen in ages.

I was one of the few (around here at least) that really enjoyed Juno, so I was kind of looking forward to seeing what else Diablo Cody could pull off. It might be too early to file her as a one hit wonder, but she sure as hell missed the mark on this one. They tried way too hard...it wanted so desperately to be Evil Dead meets the hipster culture, but it failed miserably. The dialogue is nothing short of painful - while it worked to an extent in Juno, here it just made everyone sound like either a complete idiot or a pompous asshole. There wasn't really even any gore to save it...pretty much all the deaths were offscreen.

I can't think of anything redeeming at all about this movie. Megan Fox is utterly talentless, and hearing her spew Cody's horrendous dialogue has to be one of the most despicable cinematic combos of all time. I will admit that she's somewhat attractive, but it takes a lot more than that to make a movie watchable.

If I wasn't with a group of friends, I would have left about 20 minutes in. I'd suggest staying away from this garbage no matter what. It's banking on all the Hot Topic hipsters and Megan Fox worshipers to drool all over it. The sad part is...they probably will.

Edit: _V_ - Just noticed that you checked it out as well. Thoughts?
