Watched this over the weekend, it was okay at best. Some of the gory scenes were alright, but some to me, were a little far fetched.

By far the best scene in the movie is the one on one action.

I laughed a whole bunch of times during the movie. Stupid as hell Diablo Cody dialogue but some of it gets a chuckle out of me.

Best scene was Needy and Chip's sex scene. Hilarious.

Speaking of Needy - Amanda Seyfried had the nerdy hot down to an art form in this movie.

Yes, she fucking made this movie for me, more than Fox.

It was purposely suppose to be "so bad its good." How many times did they reference Evil Dead?

I loved it, but I went with an art-house film school student who hated it. What a homo.

Fuck Diablo Cody, fuck Diablo Cody, and FUCK. DIABLO. CODY. Holy fucking shit. After like the first 5 nonsensical words I figured out it was written by that fucking stupid bitch. Every time I heard another fucking dumb ass attempt at being funny or hip or whatever the fuck ever I wanted her hands to be run over by a train so she could never write again. I fucking hate her shit.

As for the movie......... not great.

Juno gets references wrong just like a real teenager! "Thundercats are go" how realistic!

I think Megan Fox is getting more publicity for her "Michael Bay = Hitler" comments than she is for this movie.

This seems to be one of those movies that seems like it should be better than it turned out to be. Is that an accurate thing to say for those who've seen it? I'm still waiting for Zombieland to come out before I hit the theater again.

For the most part I thought it was alright. Not great, but not bad. The dialogue however got very annoying very quickly. You're not a teenager El Diablo, quit making up sayings that kids don't really use... Anyway. The makeout scene was hot, and Adam Brody seemed to have fun with his role and was the best part of the movie. I went in with expectations pretty low and thought it was a good one timer.

No. I only seen one preview for it, but when I did I thought "Wow, that's gunna suck but I'm going to watch it to store some material in the spank bank" Then I saw it and even the spank bank material was disappointing. I'm not saying the movie was awful, but it wasn't good by any means nor did it look like it was going to be, unless there are trailors out there that I didn't see that made it look like it was going to be a good movie.

I thought the gore sucked for the most part. One kill was show with shadows on a wall. Most of what was shown of the kill in the woods was the aftermath. And the sacrifice to satan kill was with a far away jumpy camera.

This was a trainwreck, but I found it entertaining in the end. At least I think I did. It was one long car crash

I thought this movie was going to have problems when I heard they cast former fashion model Amanda Seyfried as the ugly best friend that nobody notices.

Oh, but wait: she has glasses and baggy clothes? Well, I'm convinced.

That was a fucking trainwreck, and not even a very entertaining one. Granted, the acting is good (Amanda Seyfried was great, Megan Fox wasn't bad, and Adam Brody was fun) but the whole thing was just so-blah. I almost hated it, but didn't. Oh well.

Adam Brody and the guy who played Chip were the only really good actors in it. Amanda Seyfried was trying, but, as I said, it was ridiculous that she was playing an ugly girl (I kept thinking of that scene from Not Another Teen Movie: "She has glasses! And a pony tail! She's hideous!") And Megan Fox is spectacularly bland and uncharismatic.

I also agree with the people saying the movie was trying too hard to be hip. Heathers is great, because even though they were making it with the intention of being totally different to all the John Hughes movies, they probably didn't think it was going to end up a cult classic like it did, and so it never feels forced.
