Bird Watching – In Defense of “Jennifer’s Body”

February 28th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

I get why Jennifer’s Body (2009), from screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Karyn Kusama, wasn’t going to be loved by everyone. Probably the two genres that are the most subjective as far as whether they “work” for a viewer are horror and comedy, and a…
