John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) is a high school basketball star dating three different girls at the same time: the activist vegan (Sophia Bush), the over-achieving blonde journalist...
more...(Arielle Kebbel), and the sassy cheerleading squad captain (Ashanti). They all find out about each other and with the help of the shy new girl in school, Kate (Brittany Snow), they plot a devious revenge. After various other plots fail (such as spiking his protein powder with estrogen), the girls decide to combine their knowledge to make Kate into the perfect seduction machine and break Tucker's heart. In classic DANGEROUS LIAISONS/CRUEL INTENTIONS style, Kate becomes the talk of the school, but may end up becoming everything she used to hate. It's an amalgam of patented teen comedy formulas, but director Betty Thomas (BRING IT ON, 28 DAYS) keeps the story jumping along in fine order: no pop song montages of trying on different outfits, no soap opera angst and no parental moralising. It's all chocolate, bra-cams, basketball games, food fights, and a wealth of quotable put-downs. Metcalfe makes a perfect Tucker, a character who--to the movie's credit--is not as bad as all that. Penn Bagdley quietly steals some scenes as John's less popular brother, a music snob/slacker who falls for Kate while assisting her in science experiments. Jenny McCarthy is in fine form as Kate's hot mum, cursed with her own weakness for smooth talking men.

Ive seen this film twice now...
I loved it the first time...but i found that it is a film that you will not enjoy the second time you watch it.
This is a typical chick flick film, similar to other films such as 'mean girls'.
It has some funny moments, but the story line is fairly predictable.
I think that this film is probably suitable for young (teenage) children, but not really for anybody 18+, due to its lack of sophistication.
But if you are looking for an easy to watch chick flick film, this will be ideal :)
None of the characters are played by famous actors, but they still fulfill the roles well.
I think that it compares well to other chick flick films like mean girls and shes the man, due to its simple humour and good (yet predictable) storyline.
