Amanda Seyfried doesn't look like a high school outcast/wallflower no matter how nerdy they made her glasses.
who the hell would mistake Megan Fox for a virgin?
Only someone who was deaf dumb and blindI'm guessing that's not the case with this film.
JB tried to steal the formula to Ginger Snaps, but it left behind the heart.
And that is one of the most important things about a film. The only exception being the script. Believe me, I know what its like when both these things don't work in a film. When they don't work, its usually an awful movie in my opinion.

I forgot to say, the plot turns on the notion that this band thinks Jennifer (Megan Fox) is a virgin and they sacrifice her to Satan to be granted success. Because she wasn't really a virgin, some supernatural side-effect causes her to come back murderously possessed.
I really thought the funniest part of the movie was in the first three minutes. After that, neither the humor nor horror work very often. -

Stumbled upon an interesting, and long in depth discussion about
Ginger Snaps
and how it relates to
Jennifer's Body.

I totally agree that Diablo Cody ripped off the basic elements of
Ginger Snaps
when she did Jennifer's Body
but did anyone notice the not-so-subtle wardrobe rip-off of
Napoleon Dynamite
, in "Needy's" prom dress?.
It was essentially a bad bridesmaid's dress, complete with giant pink sleaves, but the movie did not have any of the good-hearted awkwardness that was integral to
Napoleon Dynamite
, so it comes across as an out-of-place, bad visual punchline.
Yeah, yeahThe contrast with the "hot" Jennifer and all thatbut all I could think was "I like your sleaves. They're real big."
Please tell me I'm not the only one.

That was a common criticism of Jennifer's Body when it came out. I haven't seen it, but I don't buy Amanda Seyfried as a dowdy, nerdy girl, nor do these two late twentysomething girls look like very convincing high schoolers.

As unconvincing as Amanda Seyfried was as a dowdy nerd (although she played it as well as someone that naturally attractive could), she
could
pass for a highschooler. She has youthful features.
Megan Fox on the otherhand, definitely looked older than a high schooler. Even most undergraduates look younger than her. I think it's because generally one loses fat off their faces as they age, and her taught features (and obvious surgeries) look more at place on a 20-something centerfold, than a teenager.
Admittedly she could look like a really strung out high-schooler (Like Lindsay Lohan, if her downward spiral started earlier), when she was needing her succubus "fix". That was only just believable.
The rest of the time it was like"Uhthe original cast of 90210 made more convincing high-schoolers" Well, maybe with the exception of the chick who played Andrea Zuckerburg, but you get my drift.
Anyhow, just my opinion. -

The scene where Ginger wears the form fitting outfit and walks down the hallway and all the guys look at her was filmed so similarly in Jennifer's Body when megan fox walks down the hallway. Both scenes even had blue lockers in the background.
