Reviews Update!

Rotten Tomatoes, a review archive that determines whether a movie is 'rotten' (good) or 'fresh' (bad). So far, only 10 Jennifer's Body reviews have been posted by critics, and things aren't looking too good. It's 20% rotten, good or what the fuck ever (I don't get how this site works), which means only 2 of the 10 reviews were really positive. Check out the some of the reviews below:

It is not nearly as funny or clever as Cody and Karyn Kusama
evidently think it is and it telegraphs its intentions too bluntly to be
scary.

--Pam Grady, Boxoffice Magazine


Jennifer's Body plays it safe and familiar. Juno would not be
pleased.

--Geoff Berkshire, Metromix.com (WTF? Safe? Familiar? Like we ever had a movie with a cannibal flag team leader in it! WHO GOES BOTH WAYS.)

The brains are there, and even if Jennifer's Body turned out a
little muddled and lifeless in parts, it's a good thing that it's out there at
all.

--Katey Rich, CinemaBlend.com

The film itself isn't that great ... [but] underneath all of the
stuff that doesn't quite work is a film about teenage girl best friends that is
spectacular.

--Uncle Creepy (WTF?), Dread Central

The thing is, critics are mostly middle-aged men who talk shit in fancy wording because they impressed people with said fancy wording. I do not, and have never, rely on critics, and you shouldn't either. They are not the movie's target audience, nor should they have the right to tell us what movies to go see. One man's trash is another man's treasure, right? And alot of people are offing it out because they're, likely, weirdly jealous of Megan or something, but Roger Ebert is praising Megan's acting, so check it out! With that being said, the UK reviews are looking pretty good judging by the UK poster (above), can't wait for those!
