In the movie, she plays Jennifer, a girl who gets possessed by a demon (SPOILER ALERT) and starts killing people. If you couldn't have surmised this already from the previews, you probably should try a less taxing hobby than watching movies.
Her best friend in the movie is Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried. You might recognize Amanda from Big Love, that one episode of House she was on, or most likely as one of the plastics from "Mean Girls", which is the only time in existence when Lindsay Lohan was awesome.
She is not supposed to be sexy in the movie. In fact, if you see the dress she wore to the prom then you would realize that she is supposed to be a giant nerd. This is in stark contrast to the vamping Megan Fox, who they pretty much want you to think is dripping hot sex throughout the entire movie.
Maybe it's my personality or whatever, but I came away from the movie thinking that one of the girls was extremely hot and it wasn't the one ranked #1 on Maxim's Hottest Women on the Planet list. It was the nerdy one.
This kind of always happens to me. After I saw Nick and Norah for the first time, I was insanely attracted to Kat Dennings; this despite the fact she isn't particularly attractive. Am I just attracted to nerdy girls, who in the case of Dennings and Needy are slightly frumpy? I don't think that's the case. It probably comes down to the fact that I'm a giant nerd myself and I can completely relate.
In high school and college this sort of behavior got me in trouble with my friends all the time. Gathered around a computer screen to look at some bleached blonde with giant fake tits...everyone would be gushing about how hot she is and I couldn't help but express my lack of enthusiasm. This lead to me being called negative or a downer or "super high standards" a lot of the time, but I think what my friends always failed to realize (and probably still do) is that my standards aren't the same as theirs. I have absolutely no tolerance for stupidity, so I would probably not be interested in a girl who looked like Megan Fox if she was as dumb as a lamppost (although if she actually WERE Megan Fox then I think I would manage)...
Anyway, the movie was pretty decent. I laughed a lot more than I figured I would. I would recommend if if you can handle "Diablo Cody" speak, which is to say a lot of metaphors and sayings that are a bit of a reach from the way people actually talk.
"I am smiling because this random guy who writes a blog thinks I'm cuter than Megan Fox. Hooray for me."
