A sample of reviews from critics across the country.
It's not art, it's not "Juno," it's not "Girlfight," for that matter, but as a movie about a flesh-eating cheerleader, it's better than it has to be.

The movie deserves -- and is likely to win -- a devoted cult following, despite its flaws.
Diablo Cody's glib teen-hip dialogue mostly feels like self-conscious splatter over a sorely lackluster scare flick.
Jennifer's Body is not as hot as you hope it would be.
A campy pastiche of horror and high-school movie cliches, the film only rises above standard-issue scare fare by dint of Cody's sneaky sense of humor.
This high school horror romp tackles its bad-girl-gone-really-bad premise with eye-rolling obviousness and, fatally, a near-total absence of real scares.

A literal man-eater.
