Wordiezett So much average
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Python Hyena John Tucker Must Die (2006): Dir: Betty Thomas / Cast: Jesse Metcalfe, Brittany Snow, Sophia Bush, Ashanti Douglas, Penn Badgley: Stupid teen comedy about revenge. High school basketball player John Tucker is dating three women at once without them knowing it. Only waitress Kate seems to notice since she has waited on their tables. When the truth reveals itself they plot revenge by turning Kate into a cheerleader to break his heart. Mean Girls is so much better and funnier than this cheap trash. Total formula with an insincere ending. Directed by Betty Thomas who once made the great Howard Stern comedy Private Parts. This is a major decline of quality. She knows her subject but chooses mediocre projects that compare to earlier misfires such as I Spy and Doctor Dolittle. Jesse Metcalfe as Tucker is never likable, and Brittany Snow is suppose to be seen as a nerd until they whore her up. Sophia Bush and Ashanti Douglas play dumped girls. Its theme of taking advantage of people and retaliation was better placed in the superior Mean Girls. Penn Badgley plays John Tucker's brother who is the nice one who will get the girl in the end. What he doesn't get is a decent film role here. This is totally phony teen trash aimed at teenage girls who are no doubt smarter than this. But John Tucker should not be the one to die here. The film should die from several blows via sledgehammer. Score: 2 / 10
amuskens7352 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.
napierslogs "John Tucker Must Die" has cliché characters and a story line where everything is telegraphed miles away. The few laugh-out-loud moments and funny lines are not enough to make this good.Brittany Snow is the 'new girl', she gets played by the cheerleader, the smart chick, and the new-age hippie girl, just as they play John Tucker. It is just a mess about making people feel bad about themselves and then succumbing to peer-pressure. I thought movies like this were supposed to have positive messages? The good things are that Snow is adorable, Penn Badgley as 'the other Tucker' is endearing, and it has a catchy soundtrack. It has a pretty fast pace through most of it with some funny moments, but not enough to recommend "John Tucker Must Die".
unsiahussain John Tucker. The guy that every girl wants as her boyfriend. So what happens when three girls from three different cliques find out that they're dating the same guy? Simple. They get revenge. They use the new girl in school to go out with him, and to break his heart, so he knows how all those girls felt when they got dumped.I think this was a really funny movie, Jesse Metcalfe as John Tucker was very funny and charming,while Brittany Snow is cute. Ashanti just overacts, while Arielle Kebbel is okay. Sophia Bush is just hilarious at times.Definitely worth a watch!!
