Critics Review
“This is a brilliant book for both fans of the film and fans of movie analysis.” – What everyone else is reading blog
“Extra Salty is a smart and redemptive celebration of one of my favorite films of all time. Blichert breaks down every aspect of the film, from its portrayal of the 2000s pop-punk craze to its harrowing depiction of bodily trauma, in a way that is captivating, incisive, and deeply moving.” — Isa Mazzei, screenwriter and producer of Cam“Blichert’s breezy but insightful writing style makes for a quick read.” — Library Journal“Frederick Blichert’s Extra Salty: Jennifer’s Body seeks to right the wrongs inflicted upon Jennifer’s Body by clueless studio executives and a wildly sexist society, and offers a cogent, well-researched, and passionate argument that proves that Jennifer’s Body should not be, in the words of the boy-eating cheerleader herself, ‘crossed out’ … Accessibly written, whip-smart, and sympathetic, Extra Salty is a book about film and pop culture that will satisfy both cinéastes and casual viewers alike.” — Anatomy of a Scream“This is a brilliant book for both fans of the film and fans of movie analysis.” — What everyone else is reading blog
