Jennifer's Body (2009) -- too little horror, too little humor

Caught the last full show of Jennifer's Body with Set and my sister tonight.

Set's right, it lacks something. (And it's not just because of all the damn cuts the MTRCB made.)

I read that it was supposed to be a satire about relationships between best friends, and female empowerment, but I didn't get that message. (Teeth, another horror-comedy flick, does a much better job.)

There are some funny lines, like "Cheese and fries!" (Jesus Christ, get it?), and Adam Brody's bit on indie bands having a hard time making it big. Through The Trees as a running gag is funny. Needy's prom dress in itself is one big punchline. But I thought there would be more horror. Nearly all the good stuff is in the trailer.

There are plot holes. How could Needy see and feel what Jennifer was thinking? Why did Needy have to break up with her boyfriend? Why did Needy make out with Jennifer even when she knew that Jen was a monster?

Needy and Jennifer's pseudo-lesbian relationship is interesting to watch though. Mia said it was like Megan Fox was always flirting with Needy. It wouldn't be surprising if we found out that Jen was a lesbian.

Aaaaand it's nice to finally found out what'd happen if you sacrificed a non-virgin. (Then again, who in their right mind would believe that Megan Fox is a virgin?)

Anyway, I liked it. But given the movie's hype, I expected more.

No picspam because I'm tired and I have a tooth extraction tomorrow. *groan*
