A possessed Megan Fox goes boy crazy.

Rating: 14A
Stars: Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody

What's the story?
Jennifer Check (Fox) is the popular and gorgeous head cheerleader at her high school who loves breaking the rules in her small town. Needy Lesnicky (Seyfried) is her best friend who is very much the opposite, with a steady boyfriend and a do-the-right-thing attitude. After going to a pub for a night out, Jennifer ends up as the sacrifice for a satanic ritual, resulting in her becoming possessed by a demon. The new-found evil in her causes her to prey on the boys at school while Needy does everything she can to stop her rampage.

Why see it?
Written by Academy-award winner Diablo Cody (Juno), Jennifer's Body contains unexpected, witty humour that can be compared to movies like Mean Girls and Juno. So if you’re looking to have a few laughs at the theatre, this one is worth checking out!

Problems?
Certain scenes contain the Scary Movie ridiculousness which tends to leave you dumbstruck, so if you want to see a film that keeps you thinking all the way through, you will want to look somewhere else.

All in all:
A solid film with some some hilarious one-liners and a standard Megan Fox performance.
