John Tucker Must Die (2006)

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: Betty Thomas
Cast: Jesse Metcalfe, Brittany Snow, Ashanti
Running time: 89 minutes



After having to move once again to a new city and school because her single mom has been dumped by another deadbeat, Kate has had enough of players. In her new school, John Tucker is the star jock who gets all the girls. When three girls from different cliques find out that John Tucker has been dating them all at the same time, they devise a plan with the help of Kate to break his heart.

This is your average cute teen movie; not the best of the genre, but not the worst either. The acting is ok for the most part and there is some funny material in the dialogue. I laughed out loud a few times.

Like any romantic comedy built for teens, the ending is predictable, as these kinds of elaborate schemes always backfire. With these movies, it is always better to go in with low expectations.
