Movies

The best thing about 'Jennifer's Body" is Megan Fox's body. She's quit the dish ... as the kids say. Otherwise, this teen vampire flick lacks much to recommend it.
Screenwriter Diablo Cody pops off a few "Diablo Cody" lines --boys can be such a drag! -- and snatches a laugh ot two along the way, but this attempt at a comedy horror picture is light on both kinds of yuks.
It's not "A Vampire in Brooklyn" horror-comedy lame, but it's not much better.
Basically Fox plays Jennifer, a high school hottie turned into a vampire by a rock and roll band. Jennifer then takes out her frustrations on the local boys who have wronged her, but she doesn't stop there. Soon she's nibbling on any neck she can find and MUST BE STOPPED!
Done straight up and with a heavy dose of grind house luridness, this could have been a fun outing. But it's not and so it's not.
