8 Great Movies Told By Liars

If anything functions as a meta commentary of an actor's life outside a movie, it's Jennifer's Body, showcasing what it's like for a consistently objectified Megan Fox to take her sexual prowess back and use it to kill young, lusty boys to stay eternally young and beautiful. That's girl power at its finest.

The magic of Jennifer's Body doesn't lie in Fox's bodacious curves, however, but in Amanda Seyfried's character Needy. Playing the sidekick and nerdy best friend role throughout the film, we're watching Fox's supernatural powers accumulate through her description of events whilst she's locked up in a mental institution, instantly flagging up the movie as potentially the creation of a confused, mentally ill patient rather than an objective standpoint.

Are all of these crazy events gospel? Or are we being taken down the rabbit hole by a character that has suppressed her sexuality and disassociated her impulses onto an impossibly well put together figment of her imagination?

Jennifer herself could be Needy's Tyler Durden, to that effect, or at the very least an exaggerated, unreal interpretation of Needy's insecurities rather than a literal succubus. That we're watching from the point of view of someone locked away in an asylum from the outset is enough of a giveaway that not everything is as it seems.
