Critics Consensus

Jennifer's Body features occasionally clever dialogue, but its horror/comedy premise ultimately fails to be consistently funny or scary enough to satisfy.

It's not just a feminist thumbs down, it's like a... movie thumbs down.

What I love about this movie is, surprisingly, that Megan Fox is excellent.

Not without its problems, but it is an enjoyable romp.

Fox and Seyfried’s chemistry that electrifies the film. Their dynamic is both haunting and captivating, with queer undertones that invite audiences to interpret the relationship through their own lens.

It is empowering to women and spits in the face of misogyny. Much like many things in life, it is more layered and intricate than it seems upon first glance.

There’s so much righteous anger in this movie, not just about the way girls are treated and about bodily autonomy, but also about the recession and America’s weird post-9/11 jingoist patriotism.

Kind of a cult classic - and it's understandable. Seyfried and Fox have enough chemistry to go on for a long time and the feminist take on slashers is a fun way to bend the genre. Practical effects and the contemporary rock soundtrack add to it. The mix of genres and tones does not always work in favor of the directors best intentions, unfortunately.

this move has so many going on. the backstory was interesting on how the main character turned into a monster. Even through there were some scenes where it is adult stuff but overall the movie was good and would watch it again.

I really enjoyed this film. Jennifer's Body is a darkly funny and surprisingly smart horror film that mixes teen drama with sharp satire and killer performance.

Funny and a little gory, Jennifer's body mixes horror and dark humor. The movie has friendship and popularity with great dialogue and bloody scenes. At the release of the movie it was overlooked, now it's a classic because of how it delivered to its audience.

Jennifer’s Body is a sharp, darkly funny horror-comedy that blends teen drama with supernatural horror. Megan Fox delivers a magnetic performance as Jennifer, a high school girl possessed by a demon, while Amanda Seyfried anchors the emotional side as her best friend, Needy. The film mixes gruesome kills with witty dialogue and satirical commentary on gender, friendship, and the pressures of adolescence, making it much more than a standard horror movie. Its campy, self-aware tone, combined with subversive themes, has helped it grow into a beloved cult classic over the years.

It's such a good movie that blends different genres in together so well. It's pretty funny while still having a horror aspect that sticks with it. I think it's a cool movie that can be rewatched and it's a movie that'll definitely be better watching with people.
