Jennifers Body made like a Tree and blew

Is anyone else surprised Jennifer's Body didn't do a bit better than $6.8 million? Megan Fox is the hottest draw in Hollywood right now, and Diablo Cody has a reputation of being incredibly edgy, or so she claims, so why did this movie come in fifth to Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs?

You can't blame it on the marketing, everyone knows they've seen the tease about Megan Fox kissing the other fine looking girl in the trailer, and images have been getting clicks from horny little fanboys since last year. So, is it that they focused too hard on the male demographic, or what about the fact the film was about one female, fighting off another crazy female in a movie directed by a female and written by a female?

Alright, so my take is the reason it bombed is because of the cheesey value. The movie looks like a mediocre version of Army of Darkness, without the prime attraction, Bruce Campbell. Let's face it, Army of Darkness is an aquired taste, and the movie bombed horribly in theaters, but got a cult following later on. Besides, the star of Jennifers Body has only been in a few movies, and really only was the star of the two Transformers movies, so she doesn't have much of a loyal fanbase yet.

I would say, all these reasons and more, combined with Megan Fox acting like a crazy person in interviews means this movie will eventually get picked up as a cult phenomonon, but don't expect any money in theaters. What do you think, was it the female thing? Is it because Megan Fox can't act, or Diablo Cody can't write, or is it because the movie will most likely blow? Discuss:
