The Review

The only reason one would see this movie is because of Megan Fox, and knowing that the writer behind this is Diable Cody, the writer of the Oscar ‘Juno’.

I braced myself when I entered the theater expecting the worst, and came out kinda perplexed in fact. Well it’s not a classic, and I’ve seen worst movie.

The thing is I could really categorized the movie. It seems the producers are hell bent on not to follow the rules of its genres, I couldn’t tell if the film is a satire, horror, comedy or drama.

It’s kinda strange to me, but it does has it good moments. The selection of songs was good, but was drowned by heavy use of cliché’d scenarios and dialogue.

The plot is pretty straight forward, basically Jennifer (Megan Fox) turned bad, and it’s up to her friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to make sense of the situation and stop Jennifer.

This is a film with two pretty hot girls with no acting skills. Megan Fox apart from being beautiful which is by no fault hers, didn’t amount to more then a few lines, while Amanda was slightly better.

The pace of the movie is fast which is good, as I was hoping to be over and done watching it, haha.

The Good

• A good date movie
• Hot girls
• Excellent musical build ups

The Bad

• Too many usage of flashbacks
• Strange movie
• Cheesy lines
