(SPOILERS) Jennifer’s Body has that angry teenage energy and doesn’t care what you think about it. That leaves me halfway between loving it and telling it to be home before 10pm or else. On the one hand, it’s a crafty, entertaining story about two best friends after one of them becomes possessed by a demon. On the other, it’s riddled with some cringe-worthy dialogue. Jennifer and Needy, best friends since childhood, head to see a touring band play their podunk dive bar. Jennifer being the high school hottie and Needy her nerdy friend, they interact with the band before the show starts. After they narrowly escape a fire, the band takes Jennifer off to the woods to do a ritual sacrifice to make their band popular, assuming she’s a virgin. Instead, she becomes a blood-hungry succubus.

Lots of entertainment value here. Jennifer's Body was also a big kickstart to the careers of several cast members. I just wish i was 17 years old while I was watching. 7 high school snappy retorts out of 10.
