AN UNDERRATED CLASSIC
omg kennedy ily also yes a very underrated classic
Kennedy Walsh omg ur here hi ilysm
Kennedy Walsh KENNEDY!?! Omg we love a movie commentary watching queen
omg kennedyyyy
Kennedy watching Dylan is the crossover I needed
The fact that Dylan didn't recognize Chris Pratt until he took off his sunglasses proves that the Marvel trope of main characters wearing baseball caps and sunglasses as disguises is 100% effective
True
😂 may work with people you don't really know, aka celebrities. But I'm pretty sure I'd recognize my coworker with glasses on.
It proves that overly idiots exist
Lmaoooo
Anisa Mincy i think its because chris pratt was had facial hair for the marvel movies
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T SEE THE PART WHERE SHE MURDERED THE BAND OMG
YES
IKR literally made me so mad if he had just been patient for like one minute
I did the same lol. But If already asked before i checked haha
I honestly don't remember the scene but he needs to see it!
I KNOW I GOT SO MAD
Jennifer saying "my tit" when she was stabbed shows us that even in a life or death situation, Jennifer is still prioritizing her physical appearance because she has always believed that is her greatest power and the reason she has worth
True just like needy said “TITS IS HER TRADEMARK “ 😅
this was more of a final joke, not a serious thing
actually isabel is right lol. The director of Jennifer’s body said this
@@anisbenammar7864 just proves men dont get the movie
@@anisbenammar7864 shut up
"she's only interested in guys that are interested in amanda" yea because she loves amanda....
Needy*
The reason why this movie flopped:
Women didn't want to watch it because of Megan's hypersexual reputation and saw this movie as too "objectifying".
Men didn't like this movie because they didn't get to see Megan Fox naked. (No really, that was actually one of the complaints in a review)
Overall, no one understood that this was the whole point of the movie - women who embrace their sexuality are demonized by the public. I mean yeah, the dialogue is cringey but it's no better than other cult classics like Mean Girls and She's the Man.
Megan Fox could never get serious acting gigs because she was 'too beautiful' yet 'too outspoken' when men tried to take advantage of her. A lot of women did not support Megan because they assume she is a willing participant in how men and the media sexualize her.
No - this movie flopped because people didn’t take Megan Fox seriously and the marketing for this movie was trash. After seeing her in transformers and on so many magazine covers - people were sick of her and annoyed by her. Men weren’t interested in the movie because it wasn’t advertised as there being anything in here they would like. The trailer and it staring both Megan and Amanda Seyfried would leave men to believe it to be some “stupid high school chick movie” with a twist. Which is why the kiss between the 2 of them was heavily publicized and also in the trailer- to try to bait men. This movie back then wasn’t necessarily seen as a commentary or a satire, it was just seen as a bad film with bad dialogue. It is a smart movie in ways - but Mean Girls IS a much smarter movie with way way way better dialogue. At least Mean Girls dialogue is super quotable and has aged well. Things like “Cheese and fries!” Or “it smells like Chinese food in here have you 2 been fucking??” Is VERY cringey and hasn’t aged well at all. The reason this movie is considered underrated now is because people are starting to see what they were going for when it was made.
This movie has got nothing to do with "women who embrace their sexuality are demonised". It's about female relationships and how toxic they can be. It's also about the insecurities girls can have if their best friend is incredibly beautiful and the sexual tension between girls. The director herself explains this. The succubus part is just a backdrop; the entire movie is about Jennifer and Needy's relationship, how Jennifer wants to be with Needy but Needy wants to be with Chip which is why Jennifer dislikes him; she's essentially fighting for Needy's attention and why she "likes" the guys that Needy likes.
@@peachesandcream8753 welp, Jennifer suffered because of her sexuality, the band thought she was a virgin, but her being not one made her into a demon. I do think it's related to how women's worth is tied to her sexuality or lack thereof. And that also, ironically, bled into the reception of the movie.
@@hartyhart6154 i loved your take on this.
I think a lot of ppl would benefit in looking up the interviews with the directors Bc you are 100% correct. There’s also the fact that this movie was made for women & girls and men were mad about that Bc ya know...this also contributed to how underrated it is. Bc of course anything made for girls automatically isn’t taken seriously.
Fun Fact: this movie was actually targeted towards woman and not men, and people think that’s the main reason it flopped. Because the trailers advertised Megan fox and they thought it was going to be a hot Megan fox movie (it is) but not about her killing men
yeah I saw that on Twitter and how it was supposed to be about the toxicity of female teenage relationships. I think it would've been way more successful if it were marketed at girls
mar yeah the marketing doomed an amazing movie
yh the marketing turned me off at least at the time. I didnt realize that the main story was about a toxic friendship, I thought it was just sexy megan murdering people, and the "oh the hot chick is dangerous" marketing really bored the heck out of me
mar ya the people in charge of marketing didn’t even understand the movie which was annoying
I wouldn't have watched anyway, people-eating monsters aren't my thing.
btw If i am correct the scene where the band was sacrificing Jennifer and sang the song was a reference to SA and how assaulters tend to make it into a joke and have no empathy for their victims. it was supposed to be a disturbing part of the scene, it was not intended to be funny/ quirky. I believe the director said something about this in an interview.
Reference to SA? What’s SA? Genuinely asking.
@@jasoncastlecomedy SA is Se*ual Assault
that detail really is fucked up to me. it takes you a bit to realise what's going on, but it cuts directly from these murderers mocking her, to jennifer screaming in pain and fear. the movie clearly took that scene seriously by focusing on her experience.
Ofc the director said it some bs like that to make it very symbolic n ppl eating it up.. It's the same thing the director of amazing spiderman 2 said abt the opening scene of Peter web flying over a giant clock and he chose to have such shot bcuz it's representing peters time. Peters right time to become spiderman and serve well in society and be this masked hero.. Some bs "deep" Symbolic shit like that
@@ivermory3283 appreciate it, didn’t know the acronym.
It’s amazing how confidently and frequently he criticizes what is happening while blatantly being oblivious to what is happening and why.
What you need to watch is essays and analysis not a commentary.
This is a movie commentary made for entertainment... not an analytical essay
So is nobody going to tell him he missed the credits scene where Needy kills the band?
Yes! I was like, "They do show the band again!"
YES! HE NEEDS TO SEE IT HAHAHAHA
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING HE MISSED HER KILLING ADAM BRODY
There needs to be more comments on this or something so he will see this
I was like wait that’s not the ending lmao
Who tf is still sending him movie recommendations have y’all learned *NOTHING?!*
I really wanted to see his reaction to 365 days and now he wont do it because of the recommendation😭
RIGHT like it stresses me out
Or Trin Love
wait i don’t get why we shouldn’t send movie recommendations. maybe i’m just being dumb but can you tell me😂
@@flaurprod He has said multiple times not to send him recommendations. He doesn't want the comment section of videos to be spammed with movie suggestions. Also, very likely that he'll make a point not to make a commentary video on a movie he gets spammed with. Just like here with 365 Days.
Dylan the sacrifice scene isnt supposed to be funny its a rape allegory 😭😭
17:06 when you pointed out how megan fox as jennifer undressing in that scene made u alarmed it perfectly captures why this movie flopped so hard. marketers made this film seem like some raunchy film for boys where she’s constantly eye candy, but the camera and jennifer use that sex appeal as a form of preying on the men, rather than men preying on her…
yeah no shit
the fact that made it flop is so fucked up 😭
*Chris Pratt wearing glasses*
Dylan: *confused*
*Chris Pratt takes glasses off*
Dylan: “OHHHHH CHRIS PRATT!!”
Same energy as Doofenshmirtz not recognizing Perry without a fedora
Clark Kent effect
@@bitingthehand
A platypus?
-Fedora on-
*Perry* the platypus?!??!?
That's why no one knows Clark is superman confirmed
OMG!!!!
the fact that Dylan skipped the post credits scene where she kills the band is going to annoy me for the rest of my life
get this comment to the top, that post credits scene creeped me out the most.
Yeah I was like whaaat?!?
absolutely me, I was so waiting for the post credits scenes....
SAME TT
WAIT I HAVEN'T SEEN THE POST CREDITS SCENE
The irony of dylan missing the entire point of the movie (satire, assault and revenge plot, womens friendships) is hilarious. This is a grade A example of a man not understanding a film purely because its plot is centered around a womans experience, and showcasing how everything in life ends up revolving around men.
Bro? His whole channel is of making jokes, he made jokes THE WHOLE VIDEO, he’s not taking the movie part serious, it’s for comedy
I’m a women n even I don’t get this wtf r u going on avout
Jesus Christ it's written reaction not analysis, he's not taking this movie seriously at all, that's for most movie he reacts to. You guys are too caught up in you fantasy surrounding this movie and how good it is (it isn't, good message, terrible execution), that you can't see the obvious.
Well, he got mean girls and that was about girls' relationships. So maybe he didn't get this one because it was poorly portrayed. I didn't get it either the first time I watched it and I'm a girl, but I bet noone would accuse me of that because I'm a girl. And he was actually excited about the male characters because he LOVES the actors portraying them and I get that
you’re taking it in the wrong way i don’t think he’s sexist he’s just stupid lol
Regardless of the comment controversy on symbolism, I would like to point out the band murdering the girl scenes are entirely based on a real life murder done to a girl named Elyse Pahler in the name of a satanic sacrifice by a band (which included sexual assault and necrophilia). You can look it up, the movie's portrayal is actually a lot more mild compared to what happened in reality.
it's a shame this movie was marketed so horribly
Right I just feel like it was too ahead of the rolling trends. 09 wasn’t the time for comedy driven horror. A few years later and this movie would’ve done better I feel.
Totally agree, this was a great movie but marketed terribly
Agreeee
Nah the movie sucks
I watched it when I was like 10 lmao what was I doinggg. Anyways I only remembered a few scenes like the les makeout and the tongue lighter scene so it was like watching it for the first time again.
You really just sat there talking about how they should have added a scene or did something with the band BUT IF YOU WOULD HAVE JUST KEPT WATCHING FOR 5 MORE MINUTES INTO THE CREDITS you would have seen that it does show Amanda go to a hotel and slaughter the entire band in their room But NOOOO Dylan you impatient beanpole you just couldn't wait
IKR HE MISSED IT
I WAS THINKING EXACTLY THAT
😂😂😂 beanpole !! Yea the D don’t really watch movies just talks out his roof hole 👀
Ohmygod BEANPOLE😂😂
Too caught up in his quirky funniness. He can be really annoying at times, like punchable-annoying. Still love him.
He's more interested in Chris Pratt who is literally dead than the actual female leads
watching him react to this makes me realize more and more just how much this movie was made for women. so much of the overall analogy is going right over his head and you can especially see that in his cheering of adam brody’s character on the screen and the way he sexualizes megan. i understand this is meant to be a dark comedy/thriller but i just find it very fascinating that he sort of plays into the stereotype of men watching this, while obviously using more critical thinking. while women are able to see how the men are manipulated by megan, dylan seemingly falls into her trap with the rest of them. i really enjoyed this considering i had only seen women react to before and i liked seeing a different perspective.
Watch "Regarding the Hush video" on his second channel Ooga Booga. It'll give you some insight
He cheered for Adam because Adam is one of his favorite actors from his favorite show
@@insertreferencehere.8066 i know that i’m not shaming him at all. i was just pointing out how i thought his perspective (which is different from my own) was interesting to watch
he just likes adam brody..god damn
(this is a year later so bare with me lmao) i don't think this was intended to be a serious review at all so we shouldn't hold it to the standard of one. i think he definitely missed some of the symbolism that a lot of women get from first watch, but also, this movie is not good. that symbolism is poorly structured and the script is really bad. making it sound like some piece of insightful art isn't really accurate. i like the idea and there's specific concepts i like, but for someone like dylan who is professionally interested in film i understand why he got caught up in the horrible writing
_“Don’t insult someone’s insults when your insults are insultingly bad.”_ - Dylan 2020
That insult was so good
i just read that when he was saying it. xD
it was perfect. xD
His face when he was saying it was hilarious. He had to think so hard to figure it out.
Wow
Omg your profile picture is so cute! Also could you please explain how you do the cursive?
nobodys talking about how dylan didnt realise throughout the entire movie that chris pratt died in the fire lol
that makes no sense she says “i’m fucking a cadet remember” later on, so why would she talk about him in the present tense
he actually didn't!! there's a deleted scene where it shows him finding chips body and telling his mom
@@sydneybrewer2847 doesnt she approach the other jock saying smth like chris pratt would be happy for us or like fucking in his memory? idk
@@isabelleegarcia3255 no, she was talking about CRAIG, the boy that hit on Jennifer when she first got to the bar. he was a student at the school and best friends w the jock she killed
I've seen this movie an unhealthy amount of times
@@sydneybrewer2847 hahahahaha
i think the horror in the beginning of the movie when the band is sacrificing jennifer is meant to resonate with women/femme presenting people more than anything. men might be able to understand what the scene means, but i doubt many would understand just how terrifying the it can be.
along with that, there's other references to SA in this as well. like roman (who is definitely an adult) sleeping with jennifer, an actual high school student.
Right, and a police cadet… Plus she says she lost her backdoor vįrgınītÿ to him which really hurt all next day which… it doesn’t need to be *that* bad like it depends but its another point against him.
I was a teenage girl when Jennifer’s Body was out and watched it in cinema almost as soon as it was released. however, the meaning was missed by me as well. I could blame the toxic atmosphere of the mostly male audience I was a part of, or the movie being shot in a way that doesn’t properly convey it themes, but honestly it’s not that at all, perhaps I just wasn’t open to the idea that Megan Fox could be casted in a movie that isn’t only about sex, or perhaps I didn’t even try to analyse it and devour its contents in my mind. and it’s not Megan’s fault. I saw JB trailer before that and assumed it was filmed by men for men, and everything that makes it the cult classic now was just mistakenly taken as a weird choice of producers who were targeting male teenagers mixing sex, gore and supernatural antics.
chill out and don’t take everything so seriously. being misunderstanding isn’t really a result of a conscious process. it’s not like Dylan specifically silences strong female themes in cinema because it’s a part of his agenda or something. at least, as we know of lol.
I believe, it’s enough to politely inform Dylan and everyone else of what was missed without any blaming and naming things. we all could be better. and we all still can be.
I mean okay.. but this movie was made by women for women, the bit that failed to convey that was the marketing. its fair to miss the point, it's not fair to laugh at sexual assault and then make jokes at the expense of lesbians.
@ALC2271 so well articulated and so true. said it better than I ever could!
FILM 101: If you alienate your audience, then your movie is DESTINED to flop.
I think it's ok to like Dylan and ok to think he missed the mark on this one. every comment I've seen about it is just of disappointed women sharing their disappointment.
no cuz i still don’t get the meaning and symbolism, i’ve read comment after comment but they all fly over my head, im just very bad at picking up these things and these comments low key make me feel stupid
“I received a lot of requests to watch a movie called 365 days so that’s why I decided to watch Jennifer’s body cause who still thinks I take recommendations” legend.
He saw through the bs
I'm going to be here when he watches it lmao
@@Vincisomething no he's gonna harm himself, Dylan can't stand bad movies and this is #1
DON'T. DO. IT.
Abduction, Stockholm-syndrome, and rape is not fun.
the fact that this type of commentary is why the movie was considered a flop😕
dylan skipping the "no im killing boys" and "my tit" "no your heart" is so funny. he is the EXACT person this movie is criticizing
Babes the movie isn’t criticizing anyone, it’s an edgy mess of poorly strung together ideas
The “no I’m killing boys” scene didn’t even end up in the movie but other than that, agreed
The "no im killing boys" scene wasn't in the movie and he didn't skip the "my tit" part.
@Froggy
Yikes, imagine STILL not getting the message of this movie after all these years. In the world of information, being willfully ignorant is morally criminal.
@@FauxFoxPaw chill dude, it's just a hollywood movie.
“I received a request to watch 365 days and that’s why I decided to watch Jennifer’s body” Dylan you so made the right decision.
simply melody ! when no one disliked this cause they know it’s right
When i watched 365 days i couldn't stop thinking about how Dylan would react to it which made me laugh every 10 seconds
Ughh ik I tried to watch 365 but I honestly just couldn't
Yeah that movie was wrong in so many ways.
Yeah thank God 🤚🏻😳
Dylan: What happened with the band
Also Dylan: she’s gonna kill the band
Dylan once again: what’s up with the band
Dylan: SKIPS THE PART WHERE AMANDA BRUTALLY MURDERS THE BANDS HES BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT IN A HOTEL ROOM
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THAT PART
Dylan needs to watch the rest! D:
lowkey mad he missed it 🤣
Yes thank you!
Aaaayyyyyyyyyy
With this and Heathers I think Dylan just doesn’t get satire of high school/teen girls. Or maybe it’s just hes not the target audience
yeah his heather commentary made me so irritated
maybe, but how many movies are you able to see the good in despite NOT being the target demographic?
@@itstheverve he does this for a living though. and he's shown to have a fair bit of knowledge surrounding film/directing. the fact that he completely missed the mark here speaks more about his own inability to look past his own biases
@@thatb1h855 that's what I'm saying. I was refuting the argument that he missed the mark because he's not the target demographic. it's just not a good excuse :/ I mean I like fight club but I'm def not who they made that movie for, that's for sure 😂 but I'm still able to empathize with the main characters intentions as well as the intentions of the film.
Dylan can’t understand films that don’t centre around men
Dylan: *sees Chris Pratt for 2 min of the movie* Dylan: where’s Chris Pratt go. He’s coming back right. He has to come back. Where Pratty Pratt. He’s definitely gonna show up. He has too. I need him to.
The whole time, he isn’t 😂
Chris Pratt plays in a Pixar movie
Myabe he's gay for Pratt
I think you took a few of those scenes a bit too literally. For example, you took that fight scene at the end where Needy yanks off Jennifer's BFF necklace and Jennifer falls as the necklace giving her powers. Definitely too literal. The meaning was, these are best friends who have been best friends since childhood. When Needy yanks off the necklace, she's basically "breaking up" with Jennifer. Jennifer, who honestly thought there was nothing Needy wouldn't forgive her for, came to that crashing realization that her best friend, the one person she admitted that she would *never* truly physically harm, had abandoned her and so she gave up. It's not that the necklace gave her powers, it's that Jennifer stopped fighting when the necklace, the symbol of their friendship, was ripped away.
Bratist SO WELL EXPLAINED THX
w o a h 🧿👄🧿
Thanks I didn't knew that
Even 8yr old me watching this movie knew that. 👌
Exactly! Dylan does sometimes take some things in movies to literal and that's why he at times doesn't really get the metaphors or satire in certain scenes.
I’ve watched so many commentary videos on this movie and didn’t even realize they were all be female creators until I saw this video and couldn’t believe how much he was missing the point. Yes it’s a comedy, yes it has some cringey outdated humor, but it deals with some heavy shit.
For me at least, it’s really clear that the whole deal with Jennifer and the band is an allegory for SA, and the joke about the van being an “89 rapist” wasn’t trying to be edgy, it was calling out what Needy was almost certain happened to Jennifer at that point. Idk, something about Dylan laughing at it all rubbed me the wrong way.
His reaction to the van line proves that the only thought he’s put into SA is jokes; it’s his gut reaction when presented the topic
Just disappointment, is all I can express and say rn
revisiting this now to ask if anyone knows if dylan ever mentions anywhere about him not seeing all the stuff that happens in the end credits? also, i'd love if dylan would revisit this movie with a fresh perspective with all the criticism in mind. i really thought this was going to be a movie dylan was going to enjoy and have great insight on, i'm sad he didn't :(
unfortunately, he has not. he still considers hush to be his "biggest backlash" which shows hes not even acknowledging the criticism here
@@lexiarie6545 that is really unfortunate! for someone who enjoys violence in media so much, i thought he’d love this :p
yeah he made a video a while ago talking about the hush movie commentary and he mentions Jennifer's body and what people are saying. It's on his ooga booga account
@@lexiarie6545 he did acknowledge it tho..
Amanda's character was so gay for Jennifer my girl really looked at a demon eating food off her floor screeching like a pterodactyl and said: you dont have all the facts. I love her.
I never saw this movie, but based off Dylan's video, its sad for me to see that Jennifer was killed by Amanda.... I rooted for that couple..... I shipped them fast
Jen was also mega gay for her too tho
Megan Fox said she acted out this character to be a closeted lesbian lol
omg ME
@@SasukeUchiha723 that's why we have headcanon and fanfic... personally I choose to believe Jennifer survived they realized they're both in love and killed low shoulder and just lived their best lives as murder wives
** Dylan repeatedly saying that Jennifer's Body is copying films that came out after Jennifer's Body**
If you’re talking about Twilight, the book Twilight was published in 2005. It was a book originally not intended to be read by anyone but Meyer and her family. The book series was finished in 2008, when the first movie was released. So, incorrect
Michal Kate C. Do you have proof the director or screenwriters of this movie ever read those books tho lol
@@austinm8334 if you need a cited source that a screenwriter heard of the most popular book series in the late aughts, you're an idiot
You know Twilight the movie came out the year before Jennifer's Body right? Lmfao.
@@HisSnuggleBear18 Did you forget the movie is based off the book?
Dylan I love your vids they’re so bingeable but this is the most you’ve missed the mark EVERRR
Now come on now… “nice insult Hannah Montana.” Is the best line ever
Dylan: They didn't do anything with the band
Also Dylan: Skips the credits where it shows what happened to them
That upset me SO HARD! hahahaha
That's what I'm saying
Needy: "I thought you only ate men"
Jennifer: "I go both ways" .
LITERALLY THE BISEXUAL QUEEN. And you can't forget the makeout scene. My bisexual awakening 👀🏳️🌈
my lesbian awakening lmao

ikr he always wants the girls to kiss and SKIPS IT THIS TIME
Dylan: "I'm like the knock off version"
Me: "I'm dead 😂😂"
she’s also bisexual in new girl
I was really disappointed in Dylan's reaction of this movie. I've seen a lot of these comments about how Dylan is only talking about the men in the movie, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and decided to watch anyway. i wasn't expecting him to get the deeper meaning of the film because not that many guys that I talk to do the first time. What really made me sad was the was he kept talking about the men in the movie. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good male performances in this movie, but this movie is about women. Even if you didn't pick up of the SA allegory it still portrays female friendships. Sure it has Adam Brody (who I also love) and Chris Pratt, they are not the main points of the movie. The reason the band was singing during the sacrificing scene is to show how people who sexually assault people sometimes play it off as a joke, or not serious. It is just really sad that people think that this movie is stupid because it really isn't. A lot of women love it because they can connect with it. Most women in their life have had, or will have to deal with sexual harassment and assault done by men.
It would do you good to watch the Hush video on his Ooga Booga channel
I honestly found it unnerving, to say the least, how he laughed throughout the whole scene of the band sacrificing Jennifer. That scene isn’t supposed to be funny. It’s supposed to show how cruel the band members are, how they don’t care at all about a young girl begging for her life to be spared.
For me that scene is extremely hard to watch because I always think about all the women in the world who have been hurt and murdered by men who typically have a physical advantage. And how often men make jokes about the r*pe and killing of women. They think it is funny because it most likely will not happen to them. Male privilege at its finest.
@@erenjaeger6125ok “eren jaeger”. I think using a genocidal, self-centred lunatic as the basis of your whole account is insensitive and immoral, but it’s different then because….?
This is how I feel too. It’s really disappointing that all the men I see/hear talking about this movie can’t comprehend anything about it. It’s not that difficult.
Also, it really frustrated me how this smart movie technical aspects guy missed the whole FREAKING point of the frames/second. She’s being assaulted and murdered, so it’s not going to be this crisp, clear, 24 frames/seconds vibe. For her, it’s like reality is skipping around.
Also for the memories, how they’re not clear, how they’re distorted.
Like, didn’t he go to “college” for this?
Lmao. I say this and still enjoyed his video (mostly enjoying how wrong and off he was about everything lol).
"is this twilight? Is this a parody? Now I'm just alarmed" - every boy and man watching this and missing the story of the two female leads.
The interpretation of the story doesn’t have anything to do with someone’s gender. This whole comment section is really annoying
@@onaarchie6837 it definitely does. the film was made from the perspective of a woman. it explores feminist themes: violence against women, revenge, toxic female friendship, queerness. and he missed ALL of it. the fact that he did, as someone very informed about cinematography, yet so many other female reaction channels didn't, shows us that his own gender and experiences as a man made it difficult for him to see this movie as anything other than a shallow gore thriller
@@thatb1h855 The movie is literally a shallow gore thriller riding off the peak megan fox sexualization period. Just because a few girls found a few relatable scenes doesnt makes this movie any less campier or mediocre. It clearly shows how inexperienced the writer/directors are in this movie. None of the characters are believable, acting is laughable, music is inconsistent, cinematography is nothing special, even the concept is unorignal. Your experiences as a woman will not make this movie anything more than just bad. I am not a woman nor i am a lesbian but I recently watched "portrait of a lady on fire" and that movie was amazing. i didnot relate to a single experience in that movie but the characters are believable, movie is perfectly shot because it is made by a masterful "woman" director Céline Sciamma. I encourage you to watch her movie, like "Bande de Filles" or in english "Girlhood". Gender/Sex/race/religion do not matter when deciding if the movie is subjectively good or bad. Alot of people who try to justify this movie are just trying to justify that the movie they watched when they were 14 and thought it was deep are just coping over the fact that they liked a bad movie, which is fine btw, but justifying it using your gender and experiences card is ridiclous.
PS watch more non english foreign movies, then you will see how you can empathise with people whos experiences you cannot even experience because we live in such developed nations
“I would’ve been into it any other time but now I’m just alarmed” means that Dylan was not sexualizing the scene of Megan stripping , he was anticipating something bad was gonna happen. Which is… honestly what I felt too, as a woman who watched the movie first time. Your comment is taken out of context.
Dylan: Where are her parents? Where are any parents?
Every teen show/movie: You must be new here
So true 😔
The fact that Amanda Seyfried is portrayed as a nerdy/uglier friend is so crazy cause she is so gorgeous
ik it’s crazy bc i remember some of my first thoughts abt mamma mia and mean girls being how hot i thought she was
@@half-bakedthot the only thing I think about when I see her is that one scene from Ted 2. Look up "fuck me eyes ted 2" for reference.
it’s weird bc she was the popular girl in Mean Girls. It was the same with Molly Ringwald. She was the nerd in Pretty In Pink but the popular girl in Breakfast Club😂
The fact that none of you obviously went to high school where there were a lot of girls who were cute and pretty, but were still unpopular due to their lack of interest in their physical appearance and because they didn't have an extroverted personality, is sad. Why do you think girls suddenly become popular in teen movies? Because they have a MAKEUP transformation. Slap on some makeup and put any girl in the right outfit, then people will start noticing them. But, a lot of girls (no matter what society thinks) just keep to themselves and have an awkward personality. Many of them aren't good with people, and those are the outcasts who sit to the side. Besides, what freaking qualifies as an ugly and nerdy girl? Compared to Megan Fox, she is the ugly nerdy friend.
@@bonks49k33 first off, why is that sad? Second, outcast? Not being popular necessarily make you an outcast. Third, Not wearing clothes that doesnt draw attention to you doesnt mean that that person dont care about their appearance. Some women dont like makeup or just have a different style. It's so odd how you categorize peope who just happen to be not as known as others. It's weird. It's like you're either thus or that. Some people just like to keep to themselves.
dylan: what about the band?
also dylan: *closes the movie before the credits sequence where you find out what happens to the band*

you're right
SIMP DETECTED
Got me bamboozled bro
u didn’t notice the last part when needy stab jennifer , it looks like she’s not dead she became fresh again her skin is not so pale anymore bc she came back being a human not a demon
omg WAIT - I NEVER NOTICED THAT
WHAT,AFTER SO MANY YEARS... WHAAAAAT
She's definitely dead, Needy stabbed her in the heart. But after she died, she looked like her normal, human self because Needy killed the demon and it left her body.
I don't think them singing the song as they murdered her was supposed to be a joke. It just shows how truly evil and deranged those guys were.
Agreed!
Yeah, kinda like A Clockwork Orange, but that scene just screams “derivative” and isn’t anywhere near as dreadful as the Clockwork Orange one.
My tit--No your heart is like the thesis statement of the movie. It's like a comment on how people were treating Meghan Fox at the time.
the “cutting boxes” joke was that you would expect she’s about to explain her motivation for stabbing Jennifer, but it turns out she was referring to the literal purpose of the tool she’s using to do it. so “this [weapon] is for cutting boxes” rather than “this (the reason i'm stabbing you) is for killing my boyfriend” or something along those lines.
when needy ripped off the bff necklace it didn't physically take away jennifer's powers but it shocked her because she realized she officially lost her best friend and this wasn't just another fight that they could brush off later. and a best friend is the most important relationship for teenage girls so losing that is like losing everything. i feel like dylan missed a lot of points the movie was making (and also the ending credits scene).
Or how Needy used to sense Jennifer right before she showed up, but when she was changed Needy could no longer sense her. CHILLS!
Spankyx13 yes! I thought the same too!
That’s literally everyone when this movie came out. That’s why it flopped in 2009 and it was marketed wrong- it was marketed for dudes to see Megan Fox naked and a lesbian and left disappointed.
I loved this movie back then and I still do :)
I wasn't kidding when I aid shawols are sensible and smart.
@@AdamIshak01 I know this is completely unrelated, but your channel description is like a time capsule and I absolutely love it. I was listening to Porter Robinson at the same time and I teared up a bit so... idk thanks for that haha
The dialogue makes a lot more sense when you consider it’s written by Diablo Cody, the same person who wrote Juno 😂
Damn, this entire video I couldn't stop thinking about how similar the painfully pushed quirkiness was to Juno
& now I know; thank you, kind soul
She won an academy award for Juno. I guess the dialogue just worked better for that movie
Came here to say the same thing lol
Juno's dialogue is forced at times but it has its really good moments as well and makes sense for the characters, this movie has none of that
Thank you! Like thats what I was thinking!
Damn, 'Dylan IS in trouble' from all these comments
the fact that his favorite actor said a corny line seems funny to him and when the 2 girl characters says the same it's so dumb for him like bro can you not be obvs lol
Am i the only one hoping that low-rise jeans NEVER come back in fashion?? Lol.

Low-rise jeans are the devil 😂😭

they shorten your legs and give you a unflattering figure if you wear them alot.. so no thanks
Idk about others but Megan Fox pulls it *off*
I can’t believe u lost the credits where is when the band is murdered
I was about To Say that... Wtf Dylan!?
It's the best part!
Ikr I'm so pissed 😭
@@gabrielasofia2444 Fr, I was waiting for him to let it play.
Im mad, lol
I was thinking the same thing, i watched this when i was young and I remember the ending like the band was just a mess at the end! They got murdered in the hotel
Diablo Cody wrote the script. She also wrote the script for Juno, which she won an Oscar for. This film has a similar feel as far as the terminology and language the teenagers use. For some reason, this movie is considered way less appealing because of the wording. I personally love it!
I think the marketing (seemingly aimed at guys) really did her dirty. Plus in Transformers Megan Fox was essentially JUST there to be eye-candy right? So when it's marketed to guys who only know her as eye candy, it's not hard to figure out just how skewed the expectations were. Meanwhile Juno was kind of advertised as what it was. Didn't find either movie to be particularly good but I figured I just wasn't the target demographic.
I like Juno and this (Jennifer's Body) but I do prefer Juno more in terms of dialogue it was easier for me to understand. Some of the lines in this I had to literally pause the film to think about what they meant lol Also, I had and still have the biggest crush on Juno's actor, Elliot Page so I've definitely rewatched it more.
I made my family see Juno in theaters without telling them what it was about 🤣 I've had my dad start watching Umbrella Academy with me recently and he was like wasn't that the pregnant kid? Now when he sees Vanya (Elliot's character in season 1) kiss another character he literally says hopefully they don't get pregnant again.
You missed the joke line Jennifer says after the cutting boxes- she looks at Needy and says “God you’re butch*
There is a really cool video called " Jennifer's body and the horrors of bad marketing" that does an analysis on how the markening team tried to sell the movie to men cause it had megan fox in it, thinking it would be better than marketing how the screenwriter meant it, for women. Also it talks about how the movie's intention was to talk about the parasitic nature of some female friendships.
That's how i found out about this movie !
I SAW THAT VID! It was so good
yes i LOVE yhara zayd i was just abt to come reccomend that vid
7:40 Dylan now realising what Regina George meant when she said "I was still half a virgin when I met him"
Guess I always took that as a more 'just the tip' type situation.
Kerry Christensen when has just the tip ever really been just the tip?
i thought it was just small
@@qwertzuiopu9989 made me choke on my jolly rancher 😆
Ikr. Half a virgin equals -back door-
20:43 I’m glad Dylan brought this up. In the original script, Chris Pratt’s character plays a more significant role. The reason they mention him being in the academy is cause he was meant to arrest Needy in the beginning of the film. Jennifer manipulates him to make Needy seem crazy crying demon. Hence why she says after the kissing scene “I have the cops in my back pocket, Needy. I’m f’king a cadet remember?”
Jennifer’s Body is an excellent movie with important themes, it’s just presented in a self-aware dark comedy. It’s hard to talk about serious issues in general, but in a dark comedy the ideas often get muddled for lots of the audience. That’s why this movie did so poorly when it came out (plus they marketed in toward teenage boys when it’s a movie made for women, by women).
It is pretty disappointing to see Dylan miss every big theme in this movie, ESPECIALLY the assault scene. It shows he didn’t take it serious from the jump. Not offended (as many of the comments are saying) just sad that one of my favorite commentary channels did this movie so dirty. Jennifer’s Body is a cult classic for a reason
Folks not realizing the movie is self-aware is probably the main reason most audiences don’t see this movie as a serious piece of film. Pretty disappointing. I love Jennifer’s Body, all the actors were wonderful in their roles
FILM 101: Do not alienate your audience or else your movie is DESTINED to flop.
Elizabeth Banks should've learned this by now after Charlie's fucking Angels!
I felt similar, but thought that fps switch was a smart choice. It was a way of conveying the terror of her experience-that break in filming style is an intentional disruption to get across a sense of the horror from a victim’s perspective. The convention in slasher movies is to film violence from either a voyeur’s pov or the attacker’s pov. This is an intentional departure. Karyn Kusama ftw
@@mrsbillforshort same, it's also not giving trauma porn vibes like other movies which is really triggering. As a victim of SA I could actually watch this movie, and felt seen and advocated for which was really nice.
Dylan: I hate movies that start with narration
Tangled: Am I a joke to you?
Probably because they showed while narrating. I think this just told

Dear Dylan, They resolve the band “problem” during the credits.
YES! I was like noooo just wait. He skipped past the bit where it was and missed it thinking it was later. I hope he sees this and goes back and watches it
Really, how?
Omfg, right?!
I was like Dylan, stfu and watch dude!
Tanya Casey damn wish we could have saw his reaction. He’ll see on reddit probs
UP!!!!!!!!!!
Absurd how this movie features an Oscar winner, an Oscar nominee, an Emmy nominee and one of the most successful actors of the last decade. Absolute master piece :D
That you're laughing along with the men during the sacrifice scene which is a metaphor for rape... I can't even. The singing wasn't a badly placed joke. It just backs up the point that they're using her for their own gain & care nothing for the pain they're causing. It's achingly clear you completely missed the point of this movie
He didn't even laugh along and said he hated how they were singing. Also, it's a fictional scene so it's unfair to judge judge as though he's watching a real assault. Anyone would react differently to the real thing.
Dylan was complaining about the end and how the band faced no consequences. DYLAN!!! WATCH THE CREDITS MY GUY.
Can you explain it to me please? I havent watched it fully myself so i dont know what youre refering to (might just not remember it)
Zahra M it shows the crime scene photos from the band’s hotel room. They are all dead and then you see security footage of a bunch of groupies heading down the hallway and then Needy in her hoodie.
Zahra M SPoiler!!!! the ending of the credit shows a clip of them all getting killed at a hotel room
In all my years hearing about this movie, Chris Pratt NEVER came up
We don't like talking about his death. :(
@@rockbeauty3439 we're talking in the movie right? Cause otherwise I am missing something
Sameee
@@charismajolly3496 yeah
@@rockbeauty3439 ok lol making sure
You were so dense in this commentary. Like, dude, the protagonists are the female characters. How did you miss all the subtext of the movie?
The fact that he think Needy's boyfriend is the lead... like, bro... there is no male lead in this movie.
he prolly meant that as the leading male role bc before he also said that amanda seyfried is the lead
literally.
@@ninaz4112 yeah i know he meant leading male role, i'm telling you there isn't one. He's a secondary character. Both leads are girls.
@@amaeliss7827 I guess he just thinks the guy's supposed to have a pretty big role, bc he's like the main characters boyfriend but idk

Dylan: "One way to protect yourself..."
Me: Is he being sponsored by condoms?!?
Karla Ewe 😂
I don't think it's his fault, because he's not the intended audience, but it made me actually sad that his lack of female prospective kept him from getting the point of some of the things in this. Specifically the murder scene where he's uncomfortable with the guy stopping to sing the song. He acts like this is a joke that didn't go over how it was supposed to. It's supposed to make you uncomfortable to highlight how awful this moment was. Jennifer isn't a good person, but this such real and traumatic moment for her that there's no argument that she was wronged. Her actions aren't excused, but they're finally being explained.
This is literally such a smart and witty movie, and your commentary is the exact reason why it "flopped" at the box office but is a cult classic now. Diablo Cody wrote this for girls/women but it was marketed towards men (the kiss was written into all the contracts that it HAD to be in the trailer to attract men) who can't relate to how girls think and act. Also the little things that are said like "cheese and fries, there's somebody here" are things that people in small towns really do say. Love ur videos but u missed the mark on this one.
P.S. WATCH THE CREDITS!!! NEEDY KILLS THE WHOLE BAND BRO
Also her “audition” for transformers was to wash Michael Bay’s car in a bikini. I believe she just turned 18 when that happened. Ugh he’s such a freak.
She was actually FIFTEEN when he made her do that. Super gross.
She had just turned 18 when the first transformers movie came out and she was actually 15 when she got hired for bad boys 2 which was the scene Megan said in the interview that they sexualized her. Not long after she had to do the washing car audition to get hired for Transformers, when she was still 15. I think she began filming the movie when she was 16 going on 17. So it goes a lot to say yeah grown ass men really did hella sexualize a teenage girl 😕
Then don't take the job. Do you feel like you're being sexualized and exploited? Don't work for the person who's trying to exploit you. Where were her parents when she was 15 auditioning in a bikini? She was fine with it at the time obviously and then came back 10 years later to make a big Ruckus. It makes no sense

The only exception
hearing you say adam brody is a douchebag irl actually made my jaw drop. i’m a bit of an adam brody expert, have talked to the man multiple times, and i can full heartedly say he is one of the kindest, selfless, good hearted people in hollywood. i can’t speak for when he was in his 20s, i can see how being on a popular teen soap could make you act a certain way. but now? he is literally the nicest man ever.
The marketing for this movie did it so dirty like it was made for teenage girls that is the intended audience but all the advertising was like oooooh megan fox is hot which kinda put off the intended audience - I love this movie so so much its so good I watched it when I was like 13 and 10 years later still among my faves. It really explores the effect of sexual assault, obsession, female friendship and just being a teenage girl thru this unique lens its just so great
when he's so used to women being used as plot devices he cant understand when a guy is

I remember in the DVD commentary with the writer, the horse in the backyard was supposed to come across as Jennifer is the type of girl who asked for a pony and got it
The sacrifice scene was based on true events, it's not funny at all.
I love Dylan and his videos but i think he should have done his research on that beacuse it may offend some people.
The scene is deeply disturbing and people should be informed that THIS was and (god forbid) may be someone's true experience. Evil lives in people and horror, unfortunately, is part of life. In order to prevent this terrible things from happening we should use social platforms to inform and repeat and repeat what IS wrong and what - right.
Please, be safe and show love to everybody!

gurrlll!!😭😭 why are you know just finding this out😹
so wasn't she supposed to kill the boyfriend at first then?
What about Ahmed and the jock?
This theory makes no sense. The jock? The boyfriend was supposed to go first?
I think it's more because Jennifer is very insecure and within her friendship with Needy. Jennifer bullies Needy to feel better about herself. And so in a way she's jealous of Needy.
Maybe he should come back to this movie after some research
The fact you are only a couple years younger than me and you can tell you never hung out with chicks during this time.
I’m never going to forgive Hollywood for how they treated Megan Fox
And then had the nerve to label her difficult!! They did the same thing to Sarah Michelle gellar from Buffy. She was always standing up for her cast mates when production would mess with them and then she got a little blacklisted in the early 2000’s
How did they treat her?
watching her interview with diablo cody really broke my heart.
knowing that they chose to market jennyfer's body to guys between 18 -24 because "jennyfer is sexy" is honestly disgusting
@@zethayn She got called shallow and difficult by the industry when all she wanted was to be takin seriously and not have to put up with sexist bullshit.
the “cutting boxes” line is cause she meant that jennifer is shallow. also, i’m kinda disappointed that he didn’t watch the scene where she killed them (or like, it was implied that she did) with the blood and stuff. it was lowkey gruesome.
I thought it was a reference the when people call a vagina a box. Like Jennifer is just a box and that’s it. That’s all she’s good for.
literally the knife she has in her hand is for cutting boxes open
Kelly ohhhh IVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. nvm lol
the cutting boxes thing was just because the knife she was holding was one of those tools you use to cut open cardboard boxes and packaging.
@@TheRokersha the line is a double entendre. It's literally used to cut boxes as well as what @Kelly said
I feel like Adam Brody's acting in this is criminally underrated I agree with you, he has big presence! He stole the show for me personally, he appears in just a few scenes but they're so powerful, he gives me the creeps especially the ritual scene (Megan was extremely good in that scene too!) the speech he gives about his motives, total sociopath and sooo creepy and it's funny because it's so different compared to his role in OC, this shows he's a very versatile actor!
16:02 “Cullen Grey, that’s just a mixture of Christian Grey and Edward Cullen” as if Fifty Shades of Grey isn’t a twilight fanfiction
Jennifer's Body is honestly so underrated. This movie has been done dirty by the studio.

last time i was this early dylan was still trying to make ‘sanitary’ happen lmao
dont play with my feelings like that 🥺
My heart stopped for a moment
Good times lmao
I don’t even know what that IS
Kyle, Speaker of Useless Knowledge i see you're new here..
I know I am late but I was binge watching Dylan’s old videos and I came across this video. I know this is one years old and he may has changed but some of the comments made me uncomfortable, even if they were a joke.
I am not lesbian but it rubs me the wrong way. I’m pretty sure Dylan knows about how wlw relationships get fetishised-that’s why he is making a joke about it-and how it effects each and every person in the community.
Even if Dylan played it off as a joke it still is very insensitive as he knows.
Also, I remember when I first watched this movie I started searching it up on google to read the reviews and was shocked by the reviews. To me ,a female, the movie was amazing and I thought that everyone would think the same. But the more I read the reviews the more I realised why people watched the movies.
To see Megan Fox.
To see her how she was portrayed in Transformers, sexualised.
And to see you, Dylan, make the same remarks some of those reviews ,written by many men, really hurt. This movie is a HORROR movie not a lesbian movie for little, immature boys, like YOU, to have fun with- to fetishise.
Truly horrible for you to play it off by saying “LoOk At ThE cOmMeNtS tHeY mAdE iN tHiS, mUcH wOrSe ThAn MiNe”. This movie was made in 2009. It has been OVER A DECADE since this move came out, so yes the comments/remarks are going to be rude and outdated but back then it was normalised. Now, in this day and age, it is NOT.
I have seen you make insensitive jokes like this but I was like “it was 3 years ago, times have changed”. To see you still make this ‘mistakes’ again and not apologised is disgusting.
To conclude, I am just disappointed in you for CONSTANTLY making this rude comments and never addressing it.
I honestly don't know how to feel.. idek what I should doo, because I am so in love with Dylan but seeing how he's making so many people feel.. yikes, idk what to do lol :\
I haven't seen the movie so I can't really comment on that. But I'm a queer women and the lesbian jokes that he made throughout this and that he makes throughout a lot of his videos makes me hella uncomfortable. They're not his jokes to make and it was honestly pretty gross. He's not all that problematic but this video wasn't a great look. He still does it in his more recent videos and it's pretty gross. Idc if people are attracted to it, that's not my problem. But don't bring it into the real world it's so insensitive, he doesn't have to deal with sapphic relationships being sexualized and being sexualized for simply existing with your partner and it shows. Jokes are jokes, but if they're not yours to make don't make them.

Exactly and this movie really proves that she’s a good actress. I think she should’ve done more horror stuff tbh because this movie really shows that it’s what she does best. Transformers literally was the wrong movie for her to be in. But this...this is her thing! This is what she should be best at. I hope she comes back to the industry soon to do more horror
