Jennifer's Body

High school besties Anita and Jennifer (Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox) are all but inseparable—though “Needy” Anita is a mousy bookworm and Jennifer a lusted-after member of the color guard—but can their opposites-attract dynamic survive Jennifer’s transformation into a succubus with an insatiable appetite for the flesh of their male classmates? A celebration of the pleasures of camp, kink, and practical gore effects that moves at sleek screwball feed thanks to Diablo Cody’s rat-a-tat screenplay, Kusama’s brisk direction, and the on-a-dime comic timing of its leads. (Not to speak of the redoubtable Amy Sedaris, as Anita’s perpetually disheveled, out-to-lunch mother.)
