Too many fans seem to be blown away

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Just watched this film again, and it still makes me laugh! If you fancy a bit of easy watching with some good laughs then this is a great film.Different to normal teen films, and takes you back to those school days of popularity contests and teen angst.Good soundtrack too.Like the twist at the end too, where John doesn't become the do-Gooder you expect him to.------------------------- ------------------------ -----------------------

Kate (Brittany Snow) is an awkward invisible teen with a hot mom (Jenny McCarthy). John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) is the rich captain of the basketball team, and a real player off the court. When all the girls are forced into the same PE, it comes out that everybody (Ashanti, Sophia Bush, Arielle Kebbel) is dating John Tucker. The three girls enlist Kate into their schemes for revenge.It's a silly little comedy. I stress the silly, and downplay the comedy. The jokes don't really work. It doesn't have anything real. The girls are perfectly nice. Maybe that's the rub. There isn't any edge to the humor. They're not taking any chances.

Jesse Metcalfe current good guy hunk on the new Dallas and previously of Desperate Housewives stars as a high school heartthrob in John Tucker Must Die. Not that anyone is planning to actually murder him, but four'girls decide to take him down several pegs. That occurs when three of them actually discover that they're dating him as his one and only at the same time and the fourth just observes and crushes out on him.That fourth one is Brittany Snow and it's she that the others, Ashanti, Sophia Bush, and Arielle Kebbel settle on to be the instrument of his downfall. He's broken their collective hearts and he's got to pay.If you've seen any number of teen oriented flicks than you know exactly how this one will end up. Not since Beverly Hills 90210 have so many 20 something players got cast in high school roles. This is led by the star himself who is a great looking 28 year old when he did this film in 2006, but still looking 28. One of the things they do to Metcalfe is spike his sports drink with estrogen that one of the girls is taking to enhance her bosoms, not that any really needed it. And the macho basketball star begins showing some out of character behavior as such. Which by the way he does turn to his advantage.I'm sure at one time I might have found this much funnier. But I've come to know any number of male to female transgender people who take estrogen to change their very sexual identities and believe me a gag like that loses its humor quickly. It even caused me to drop my star rating on this venue.So don't expect too much from John Tucker Must Die unless you are below 18 or a die-hard Jesse Metcalfe fan.

When I first watched the trailer for this movie, I was impressed, and thought it looked extremely funny. There were a lot of things in the trailer that I look for in a movie.The beginning of the movie and middle is very well done. Brittany Snow performed an excellent job as her character, and John Tucker was well performed by Jesse Metcalfe well as well.But when the movie was finished, I was very disappointed about the ending where John and Kate "break up", since through the whole movie, they acted like she was really in love with him rather than pretending.The jokes were funny, but at the unpredictable in a bad way ending, I will have to keep this movie in my "not so good" range.
