About John Tucker Must Die

An unlikely sisterhood plots a girl-powered revenge in John Tucker Must Die. When the class-overachiever (Arielle Kebbel, Aquamarine), the head cheerleader (Ashanti, Coach Carter), and the vegan alterna-girl (Sophia Bush, One Tree Hill) discover they're all dating the same guy--namely, star basketball player John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe, Desperate Housewives)--they recruit a bashful new girl named Kate (Brittany Snow, The Pacifier) to become the ideal girl to break Tucker's heart. But as Kate uses the gang's combined wiles to lure Tucker, his interest gives her a social standing she's never had before...an intoxicating experience that may cost her a chance at honest love with another boy. John Tucker Must Die contrasts male and female behavior to cunning comic effect. The portrait of high school life is typically absurd, but the engaging cast, sprightly plot, and crisp dialogue will draw you in. It's a testament to the smooth guiding hand of director Betty Thomas (The Brady Bunch Movie, Private Parts) that ex-Playmate Jenny McCarthy's performance can genuinely be called understated. One of 2006's best teen comedies. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

Well, maybe it you're a 14 year old girl obsessed with teenbeat magazine this would be entertaining. Besides that, it's just stupid. I mean really stupid. It's laughable, but only because of just how stupid it is. There should be a warning label on this DVD - "WARNING. THIS IS A DUMB MOVIE UNLESS YOU'RE A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL. IN WHICH CASE YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN FOR LIKING GARBAGE LIKE THIS". December 22, 2008

For a chick flick, this has a really good storyline and is very funny! I had seen it before, but it had been a while. I recorded it 4 days ago, and I finally finished it a few hours ago. Brittany Snow plays a high-schooler named Kate who has never had a boyfriend. While she's working at a restaurant, she sees John Tucker dating three beautiful girls at different times. They all find out, and with Kate's help, they get revenge on him by breaking his heart. If you love comedy, you'll love JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE!!! December 18, 2008

rating: 1 QuoteBoring! Quote
Ok, I tried to be open minded with this movie. I figured it had to be somewhat original and at least mildly entertaining. No dice. This movie was just boring. The plot is waaay to predictable and there is no realism anywhere. I don't expect a documentary, but come on!
And mind you, I am amuzed fairly easily, and this movie just did not do it for me.
I would say you save your money and watch for it on tv if you're still curious. Money saved. December 5, 2008

rating: 2 QuoteThis is cinematic kitschQuote
This is a very typical teen movie.

The most that I would be willing to part with for this (with the benefit of hindsight) is about $3.

It's worth a rental if and only if you aren't in the mood to watch a very serious movie. November 27, 2008
