ComingSoon.net reports, 20th Century Fox has set a September 18, 2009 release date for Jennifer’s Body, starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, Adam Brody and J.K. Simmons. The horror comedy was written by Diablo Cody (Juno) and directed by Karyn Kusama.

In the film, a gorgeous cheerleader (Fox) is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a small Minnesota farming town. Her “plain Jane” best friend must kill her, then escape from a correctional facility to go after the Satan-worshipping rock band responsible for the horrible transformation.

The Vomit shot out of Megan Fox like water from a geyser. A ghastly movie concoction that looked like a mix of used motor oil, lawn clippings and the slag at the bottom of a Souplantation trash bin, the black puke sprayed actors Amanda Seyfried and Johnny Simmons, whose characters were doing their best to fight off a cannibalistic fiend, an otherwise popular cheerleader named Jennifer Check.

It was among the more gothic scenes in Jennifer’s Body, a closing battle with fewer rules than Ultimate Fighting, pitting Jennifer (Transformer’s Fox) against her longtime friend Needy Lesnicky (Seyfried, of Mamma Mia!) and her relatively wimpy boyfriend Chip Dove (Evan Almighty’s Simmons). The movie’s swimming pool location, inside a derelict juvenile hall slated to become a hospital for British Columbia’s criminally insane, was forbidding in its own right. The flotsam in the pool’s filthy water — leaves, a wheelchair, beer cans — made the entire setting for the film stomach-turning, especially since the young actors had to swim in it.

Jennifer’s Body Advance Review

Over at JoBlo.com you can check out the first advance screening review of Jennifer’s Body… And it ain’t good. See the site to read the full review. Here’s an excerpt concerning Amanda’s performance:

The film’s performances are pretty decent. Seyfried does as good as one could to hold up the film even though it’s this bad. Megan wasn’t horrifyingly bad but neither was she good. There was a scene where it’s a real big close up of her kissing another chick (YES!!!!). The men in the audience hooted and cheered even though it was completely random and the director put it in as a a kind of apology for not giving up the real goods (no Megan Fox boobage).

Honestly, who cares if the reviews are bad. I personally LOVED Juno and the reviewer apparently didn’t. Jennifer’s Body is my most awaited film of the moment and I’m sure it’ll make me happy, even if it doesn’t please the Juno hating crowd and others who simply don’t get the awesomeness of Diablo Cody.

“We make out in one scene [in Jennifer's Body]. That’ll probably be the trailer, in slo-mo.”
