Advantages: Some funny lines, light hearted Disadvantages: Some jokes were way OTT
John Tucker Must Die is a teen comedy about four girls trying to get revenge on the school?s three timing basketball captain. Three of the girls are the ones he cheated on: Heather (Ashanti), the head cheerleader; Beth (Sophia Bush), the environmental vegan activist; and Carrie (Arielle Kebbel), intellectual school journalist. They were never supposed to find out about each other, but that would make for a pretty dull film so they do. The fourth ... ...new unpopular girl to date John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe), with the help of her new popular friends.
The plot is very common and unoriginal, but it?s not overly important in a film like this. People watch for the humour. As long as it?s funny it doesn?t matter that we all know exactly what the ending will be five minutes in. In this case the jokes are a bit hit and miss. It was funny in places, but there were a few times where it tried way too hard ...

Armed with their new secret weapon and full of harebrained ideas for revenge, the three girls try desperately to get even with John. However, ...

John Tucker Must die was my girlfriends choice of a good funny moive that she wanted to watch. I was told i had made the movie choice far to often recently and she would pick the movie she wants to watch.

Advantages: Funny, good cast Disadvantages: Doesn't quite match up to Mean Girls
...Charlie's Angels & Surviving Christmas. John Tucker Must Die, like Mean Girls has a great script that comes as a result of great observation of how teens today live.
This is the brilliant teen comedy about John Tucker (Jesse Metcalf) the most popular guy in school & the basketball team captain, nothing is out of John's reach. John is definitely a hit with the girls at school & has no problem dating more than one girl at once. He's clever though ... ...not the only ones dating John Tucker & as a result of this they vow that John Tucker must die!
This film has a really good cast including Jesse Metcalf (Desperate Housewives), R&B singer Ashanti, Brittany Snow (Hairspray) & Sophia Bush (The Hitcher). The cast all seem to gel well with each other & this makes John Tucker Must Die that much more enjoyable to watch. John Tucker Must Die has a good storyline & it's entertaining from start to finish. ...

...on the school team captain/womaniser. John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe - Desperate housewives star 'Jon') is your typical Jock who is basically a mirror image of Regina George from Mean girls. the four girls annoyed that JT can date more than one girl and get away with it by lying and sweet talking them decide to pull a few what can be called pranks on him- yet he somehow manages to pick himself up and wash his hands clean from each situation (very unlikely).
... ...Metcalfe to play the role of a 16 year old i found hilarious, considering he is almost in his mid 30's, it still didn't bring down the quality of the film. Penn Badgely from Gossip Girl, even with his frizzy hair, i found to be delectable in his role of the "other tucker".
Not too happy with the rating of the film, as the amount of tmes they use the word 'slut' and 'whore' and talk about STD's is a little too much for 12 year olds. of course we ...

It's a typical American teen movie but is funny and worth a watch. I think it's possibly more a chick flick. The acting isn't bad but it's all a very young cast, and for most of them their first really big movie roles. There is a very good soundtrack ...

Advantages: easy going humour, easy to watch, ideal for teenage girls. Disadvantages: Quite cheesy and very predictable storyline
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 ... ...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. ...
