    An cliched yet still funny teen comedy with a lesson for high school lotharios: One is enough.
  • November 9, 2009
    Death is a bit harsh but I don't think anyone involved with this production should ever work in film again! This film is about as believable as a High School having its own TV station. If John Tucker had gone to a British comprehensive, he'd have been killed long ago!

    A very good teen rom-com with a cool young cast. It has some good getting back at your ex jokes and scenes. Funnier than I thought it would be. A bit like Mean girls but on a lighter note.

    Typical high school girlie movie. It was funny at times, but just ok overall.

    Kate (Brittany Snow) is accustomed to blending in to the background, moving from school to school so often thanks to her mom (Jenny McCarthy) having rather questionable taste in men that she doesn't have time to make any real friends. But after inadvertently getting involved in a...( read more) squabble between three girls who have discovered they're all dating the school player, John Tucker (Jessie Metcalfe), Kate ends up an increasingly key figure in a series of vicious plots to bring him down a few pegs. A fun, playful tone is set early on, with choppy editing, upbeat music, and sharp dialogue punctuated by slapstick moments. Unfortunately, the tone isn't maintained consistently, and things fall back on standard conventions, but at least an effort is made to make the picture a little bit different. Metcalfe is also decent, although he obviously suffers in the first parts of the film because you're supposed to dislike his character. On the other hand, the three ex-girlfriends are no more than caricatures - the cheerleader (Ashanti), the teachers' pet (Arielle Kebbel) and the hippy chick (Sophia Bush). There's nothing wrong with the performances as such, but we've seen these characters too often before to really care about them. John Tucker Must Die is not as fresh as, Mean Girls, or offering any revisionist twists on the standard fare, but it also has a number of amusing or fun moments that make it, if not stellar, then at least decently entertaining.

    I liked this movie. Mainly because Miguel from Passions plays a d-bag so well. I think he just is one though.

Critic Reviews

Claudia Puig, USA Today

John Tucker Must Die is trying to be Mean Girls with a more pointed purpose, but it's less fun than it sounds. full review

July 28, 2006
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

... a timid, screamingly unfunny rip-off of Heathers ... full review

July 28, 2006
Kyle Smith, New York Post

As tasty as a quart of s'mores, John Tucker Must Die is a slumber-party classic that belongs on the same shelf as Bring It On and 10 Things I Hate About You. full review

July 28, 2006
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Hopeful cinephiles might long for pitch-black satire a la Heathers ... but this by-the-book high school revenge comedy has the spine of a wet ramen noodle. full review

July 27, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

There is exactly one worthwhile sequence in the movie, the bit where the trio slip him a bottle of estrogen pills before a game, transforming him into a distraught, emotionally unstable crybaby. full review
