Review of John Tucker Must Die (2006) by Mrmoviebuff — 19 Feb 2016

'John Tucker Must Die' is a laugh-free comedy with a ridiculous plot, and mixed morals that it tries to show.

The movie's plot mainly focuses on a hot-shot high school student and popular basketball player named John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) who starts going out with multiple girls at once. These many girls then find out about each other and begin to get jealous, that is, until they meet Kate Spencer (Brittany Snow) who pretty much gives them the idea to get even. All this popular guy did was go out with multiple girls and broke it off with them...he's unlikable as it is, all they want to do is humiliate him to the point where he gets it, and pretty much when the audience gets it.

There is absolutely no comedy from then on...while the acting from most of the young cast is better than expected, the screenplay is absolutely atrocious, and the representation of its principal cast is more humiliating than what the girls do to the John Tucker character.

I could go on and on about why I loathed this movie so much, it's a movie I've only seen once, and I seriously do not plan on seeing it again. Perhaps writer Jeff Lowell would have moved on to do better things...
