Jennifer's body is shamelessly sexisit, gratutiously violent, and encourages the sexual objectification of women. The movie should be boycotted by any serious feminist organization, and the producers who allowed this trash to escape their minds and reach the big screen should be ashamed of themselves. It smacks of the ancient Christian attitudes of the "Burning times" in which women were accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake for little reason other than trying to be independant from men.
While i have nothing against more traditional "Slasher" genre of media, (its not my cup of tea), I feel that making an entire slasher movie just to promote the physical assets of one actress is an excessively sexualized method of story telling. It promotes sexism, and it mistakenly tells our young women (and our young men) that being a teenage slut to get what you want is alright. It tells our young teenagers that the kind of sexual behavior that the title character engages in when she's not brutally murdering young men is acceptable. It is not.
This kind of objectification of women and blatant promotion of negative sexual attitudes is unacceptable, and I devoutly hope that feminists and parents around the United States boycott the movie that will likely ruin Megan Fox's career in mainstream cinema. If Megan Fox wanted to do something like Jennifer's body, she should have gone to the porn industry where this kind of smut belongs.
