If you ask me, this is one of the differences between men and “guys”.

I went to Jennifer’s Body in the company of men, and to a man, we all walked out of the theater thrilled to have seen something so honest – and yet so fun.

I really enjoyed this movie, despite the negative reviews. I felt it was funny, I loved the new words, and felt that the sisterly relationship worked much to its advantage.

I love your take on the film. It is extremely smart and very outside the Hollywood box. Congrats.

I haven’t seen Jennifer’s Body yet, but you brought up an important point: understanding. Too many critics just write-off something because they don’t understand why a character acts a certain way or says a certain line. Just because someone doesn’t understand something does it make it worthless. Maybe a better approach is to try to understand.

Thanks to everyone who commented and I’m glad several of you share my thoughts on “Jennifer’s Body”!

I’m also cheered by that fact that more than a few have said that you’re male and love the film. With the divide amongst critics seemingly pointing to more males hating the film (about 70:30 for men versus 50:50 amongst women) it’s great to know that male audience members aren’t writing off the film without seeing it.

That was my entire intent behind writing this post; to put some of the negative preconceived notions to bed and encourage people to see the film for what is and what it intended to be: an allegory for female friendship told through a stylized horror-comedy.

Found your blog through Cinematical. Thank you so much for this extremely well-written and perceptive take. I’m a guy who came in skeptical and left with his head spinning. In a good way. A very good way. Thanks to peeps like you, this movie will live and live live long.
