Adam Brody talks about negative coverage of ‘Jennifer’s Body’

• Adam Brody thought back on the iconic Jennifer Body cult classic from 2009.
• “It wasn’t my movie, so I didn’t take the brunt of it, but it still felt a little unjust.”
• The movie’s female leads and cast should have received more attention.

According to the Ready or Not actor, the movie’s female leads and cast should have received more attention.

This feeling was previously expressed by Diablo Cody’s scriptwriter in a Vox interview.

During an interview with The Independent, Brody said, “To have it receive such tepid reviews — and in a way, to be a punching bag — felt ****.

“It wasn’t my movie, so I didn’t take the brunt of it, but it still felt a little unjust.”

The 43-year-old also pointed out that the marketing “couldn’t have missed the mark harder” in promoting the horror comedy.

“The film was a marketing person’s dream, and then to see them do that…” adding the movie’s poster, which boasted Fox sitting on a desk sporting high heels and a short plaid skirt.

“Part Goosebumps, part Maxim. It’s not even anything she wears in the movie.”

“The film was directed by a woman, starring two women, written by that year’s screenwriting Oscar winner [Diablo Cody],” he said. “And instead, they’re like, ‘Let’s bury all of that. Don’t tell anyone that. This is for people who like Transformers.'”

According to the Ready or Not actor, the movie’s female leads and cast should have received more attention.

“The movie was marketed all wrong,” Cody continued. “They said, ‘We want to market this movie to boys who like Megan Fox. That’s who’s going to go see it.’ And I was, like, ‘No! This movie is for girls [too]!'”
