Megan Fox not hot? LOL. I'll just say I disagree.

On Horror Chick: 'Jennifer’s Body' Is Garbage, But You'd Tap It Anyway
There have been rated-R teen films in the past, and they grossed a lot at the box office, mainly due to the young adult audience. Just think about the horror films in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. 99% of horror films have been about teenagers getting slashed; these films are not for 13-year-olds and other very young teenagers; that is not their target auidience. Their target audience is 17-year-olds and up. In addition, this film is not the type of film that pulls in mostly girls or women; it usually pulls in more boys and men, and that is what Jennifer's Body's target audience was/is (males).
I am sure that this film bombed at the box office due to its less than stellar marketing and competition at the box office, such as the animated film Cloudy; 3D animated films usually pull in a lot of money, and Cloudy became #1 at the box office with $30.1 million. Do I believe that Jennifer's Body cut off some of its audience by being rated R? Of course. That is always the case for rated R films. But like I stated above, that is not an excuse for this film making as little as it did on its opening day and first weekend.
In either regard, the film has not been panned by a lot of film critics; it instead has received mixed reviews, with some such as even Roger Ebert praising the film. As for Megan Fox, I feel that she is a decent actress and maybe can carry a film. Some critics of this film felt/feel that she is good. She will hopefully improve as an actress with more films.

You know...I never really consider Botox that serious. But then again, I don't feel that she has had a lot of Botox.
