The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

John Tucker Must Die is a passable romantic comedy that lacks satirical bite and the courage of its convictions. Jesse Metcalfe is John Tucker the high school basketball star and heartthrob who is dating three girls simultaneously. They are Heather the cheerleader (Ashanti) Carrie (Arielle Kebbel) and Beth (Sophia Bush.) Kate Spencer (Brittany Snow) is the new girl who is always moving town from town as her hot mother goes from one unsuitable boyfriend to another. Kate is invisible, no one notices her. It is her who suggests that the three girls should get revenge on John Tucker and show him the error of his ways. The girls decide that Kate should be the one who breaks his heart and attempt to maker desirable despite her inexperience with men. She also gets friendly at high school with John's other brother Scott who is less sexy.Of course you never for a moment buy Kate as invisible as she is rather appealing played Brittany Snow. The story should had been more darkly wicked but it is just inoffensively bland but charming.

Surely, this movie was produced for "dumb teenagers", but even they can't be THAT dumb, you know.THE ACTORS: They couldn't have picked a more disastrous cast... And most of these "kids" look in their late 20s for God's sake! Sophia Bush and that guy - John Tucker's "less hot" brother - are THE only people in this whole movie, who can act (more or less). I mean it. The rest were ENTIRELY useless. It is rare to see such bad acting, and from so many actors at the same time.Why the heck is Ashanti in this movie (and wearing those HORRENDOUS wigs)? Why would she be in ANY movie? If you think she's a rubbish singer (which is FACT), just wait 'till you see her act. Her "acting" is embarrassing. And people say that Madonna is a bad actress... Madonna deserves an Oscar for her acting -- compared to THIS! Jenny McCarthy is PAINFUL to watch; she can't act to save her life.John Tucker is also pathetic -- not believable for one second. And his associates are a bunch of lamers (who, as well as the rest of the cast, are useless at acting).Brittany Snow, the lead actress, should not be considered an actress at all. Any random girl, with no affiliation with the movie industry, could've done a better job -- I'm 100% sure.THE PLOT: Do they expect anyone to believe that Kate is an outcast and has never had any friends/dates? She is better-looking than the so-called popular girls. It would've been interesting to watch Carrie White's transformation, but Kate was never ugly/unpopular to begin with.Even if Kate was the sexiest woman in the world (which she is far from), no one is worth that amount of chasing. I find it difficult to believe that John Tucker was THAT interested in her. There's hardly any chemistry.John Tucker is supposedly the most popular guy, but he has no charisma and comes across as a jerk/sleaze-bag, yet EVERY girl in school is after him? And that ridiculous scene where he gets an award for herpes or something... oh, dear! Kate's Mum insists on moving to a new city every times she breaks up with a boyfriend!? ... I was going to write some more, but ...Yeah, now I'm kind of fed up. This movie is not worth reviewing. Why did I even begin? I can't be bothered to finish it now. It's a waste of time, basically. There are FAR better movies in the dumb teen genre to watch.

Normally I dislike chick-flicks as it's normally about how the innocent girl gets the jock but this one is quite interesting and funny.The opening scene describes Kate (Brittany Snow) and how she has little or no friends because of her mother Lori (Jenny McCarty) and her bad relationships. She moves to a new town and meets a teenage jock and womanizer John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe). He dates three girls Carrie (Arielle Kebbel) a reporter for school paper and overachiever, Heather (Ashanti) the head-cheerleader and Beth (Sophia Bush) a vegan protester.The three girls find out with Kate's help that John's cheating on them. They attempt to get even by playing tricks on John but he quickly breaks up with them. They then decide to use Kate to get even by making her a new cheerleader. He gets attracted to her while clueless Kate plays hard to get however Kate begins having feelings for John which may ruin the plan.This light-hearted chick-flick is funny but the story is quite dull for guys but this movie would be excellent for teenage girls.

"John Tucker Must Die" has cliché characters and a story line where everything is telegraphed miles away. The few laugh-out-loud moments and funny lines are not enough to make this good.Brittany Snow is the 'new girl', she gets played by the cheerleader, the smart chick, and the new-age hippie girl, just as they play John Tucker. It is just a mess about making people feel bad about themselves and then succumbing to peer-pressure. I thought movies like this were supposed to have positive messages? The good things are that Snow is adorable, Penn Badgley as 'the other Tucker' is endearing, and it has a catchy soundtrack. It has a pretty fast pace through most of it with some funny moments, but not enough to recommend "John Tucker Must Die".
