Plot: Three teenagers two-timed by a local lothario decide to turn the tables on him in this romantic comedy. John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) is the big man on campus at his high school -- he's the captain and star player of the basketball team, he's got money, he's good-looking and charming, and he can have any girl he wants. However, the latter attribute is about to get him in serious trouble when three different girls at his school -- Heather (Ashanti), Beth (Sophia Bush) and Carrie (Arielle Kebbel) -- discover they've all been dating John at the same time. Determined to bring down the campus ladykiller, the girls devise a plan -- they pick a cute but socially clumsy girl who is new at school, Kate (Brittany Snow), and give her a crash course in stealing John's heart. Once Kate has John wrapped around her little finger, she's supposed to drop him like a bad habit and give him a taste of what heartbreak is really like. However, it seems that the early stages of the plan work a little too well, and John and Kate end up falling for each other for real. John Tucker Must Die also stars Jenny McCarthy, Penn Badgley, and Dan Payne. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

"Jesse Metcalf Is Hot!"
Added 4/17/2009

I admit I am a gay guy and I love Jesse Metcalf. That's why I bought this film. A truely funny and engaging teen-romp, the film is about a guy (Metcalf) who plays around with a bunch of girls, that is until they find out they have been duped into thinking he is being loyal to all of them. They devise a plan of revenge, and this is where the movie takes off.
Not Academy Award winning material, the film is light-weighted and is aimed at female teens, and I have to say gay men! If your a gay guy reading this review there is an amazing scene of Jesse Metcalf in a pair of bikini briefs that shows every inch of his body!
I first discovered Jesse in the daytime soap opera "Passions", and have followed him to "Desperate Housewives", then to this film. I am hoping Hollywood producers will use him more frequently in their movies.
The DVD comes with full-length director's commentary, the cut and uncut versions of the film, and Jesse takes us on a behind the scenes view of the making of the film.

Mean Girls are Clueless
Added 3/1/2009

I watched this a while back with a group of women who thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I can't say that I enjoyed it as much, since it IS a chick flick, but there were some positives for the male viewer.

First and foremost, the cast is full of eye candy. Arrielle Kebbel (American Pie Band Camp), Sophia Bush (The Hitcher), and Ashanti are the assorted hot chicks at school. They hardly know each other but they are in the same social stratosphere that causes one to be unaware of others. In comes Brittany Snow (Prom Night) to round out the foursome. Every scene has one of them in it, and the rest of the girls in school are 20 year old models from every conceivable cultural background.

The four prance around in form-fitting, skimpy outfits, two even dressed as cheerleaders, and generally look hot the entire movie, prancing around after the local Big Man on Campus: John Tucker. He's essentially a lesser version of the same guy from Sixteen Candles (What? It's a John Hughes flick!). Besides, even if the guy lead isn't up to par, each and every female cast member is a gargantuan upgrade over that ginger beast Molly Ringwald.

Anyway, JT has already hooked up with the three queens of school, and he has his eyes set on the new chick. All three old conquests want to use this to their advantage to ruin JT. They all eventually learn a lesson everyone should learn: relationship games only end up causing problems. The games eventually cause a few incredibly ridiculous scenes, like the entire male population of a high school wearing thongs.

The best parts of this movie are on the basketball court. Not since Teen Wolf have more ridiculous scenes been filmed. JT evidently has a 65 inch vertical leap, and every other player has the coordination of a drunken roller skater. He even does a completely impossible front-flip dunk, an atrocity that no male audience can let pass.

With a wet t-shirt scene at the end of the movie that turns into a bunch of hot chicks smearing stripper cake all over one another, how bad can it be?

STUPID
Added 12/22/2008

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".

A Hilarious Film!!!
Added 12/18/2008

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!!!
