Really Surprised!

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Dreadfully Boring

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

I don't honestly want to say this is the best movie in the world, but I will admit that the movie had a kind of "touchy-feely" effect. It had some heart in it. It was not just another crappy teen comedy/drama film. The acting is pretty good, and the characters are good too. The movie came off to me as a good film, nothing less. It touched me, made me actually feel, and it even made me smile. It is genuinely a good film. I recommend this movie to people. This is definitely not the kind of movie you'd sit through and feel like time was wasted at the end, at least for most people I'd assume. It has comedy, drama, crude humor, and it's definitely not "cheap."8/10 rating for me. Definitely an enjoyable-worthy film. :)

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.

"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".
