It’s no surprise almost everybody got “Jennifer’s Body” wrong on its initial release. As with Megan Fox’s title character, they made assumptions based on looks. Rather than a teen horror comedy with a heavy dose of sex, Karyn Kusama made a wicked-smart, funny/not-funny exploration of female friendships, in all their intimacy and occasional toxicity. With the occasional gout of blood. -Lee Gardner
