Jennifer’s Body Hitches Prospects to Megan Fox’s Body

Jennifer’s Body, penned by Diablo Cody, has already started screening in Los Angeles in advance of its Toronto premiere and September 18 bow, and the advance word from three sources I’ve spoken to pegs it anywhere from the sort of bad that induces shrugs of dispirited disinterest to flat-out, aggressively terrible. Nevertheless, one can expect another surge of interest in star Megan Fox, and certainly a spike in internet searches for these sorts of photos. But will e-sex appeal translate to box office punch, when not paired with marauding robots? Hard to say, though Movieline’s Kyle Buchanan delivers a relative defense of Fox’s skills.
