Editorial Review:
An unlikely sisterhood plots a girl-powered revenge in John Tucker Must Die. When the class-overachiever (Arielle Kebbel, Aquamarine), the head cheerleader (Ashanti, Coach Carter), and the vegan alterna-girl (Sophia Bush, One Tree Hill) discover they're all dating the same guy--namely, star basketball player John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe, Desperate Housewives)--they recruit a bashful new girl named Kate (Brittany Snow, The Pacifier) to become the ideal girl to break Tucker's heart. But as Kate uses the gang's combined wiles to lure Tucker, his interest gives her a social standing she's never had before...an intoxicating experience that may cost her a chance at honest love with another boy. John Tucker Must Die contrasts male and female behavior to cunning comic effect. The portrait of high school life is typically absurd, but the engaging cast, sprightly plot, and crisp dialogue will draw you in. It's a testament to the smooth guiding hand of director Betty Thomas (The Brady Bunch Movie, Private Parts) that ex-Playmate Jenny McCarthy's performance can genuinely be called understated. One of 2006's best teen comedies. --Bret Fetzer
John Tucker Must Die Reviews:
Found it funny. Worth the time. 
2008-06-24 - Saw this film the other day and couldn't stop laughing. I heard about it when it came out in the theatres, but never had any intent on seeing this "chick flick". Wow, did I miss out! It's funny and halarious. Made me laugh and now I can't walk near a Victoria Secret store without laughing outloud. It's one of those films you can watch on a day where you have nothing to do, and when it's over, you will not feel like you wasted your time. It's gonna make your day.
No Points Off For Fluff 
2008-03-27 - I agree with the folks who say this movie is fluff, it's predictable, and the plot isn't believable. But sometimes this type of movie is good to relax with, (not a challenge,) and I think the people who made this movie accomplished what they set out to do.
I gave it four stars because overall it was well done within its genre and it did have redeeming social value. The girls gave the guy a taste of his own medicine, and the point hit home when their scheme worked a little too well. They wanted to teach him a lesson, and learned one themselves. Great for teens.
I was able to enjoy it all the way through without losing patience. It was funny in a cute way, and didn't overdo the silliness.
I prefer to reserve five stars for movies I would enjoy watching more than once. It's good, but once is enough.
High School Revisted 
2008-02-18 - A Very cool High School movie Rag to Richies! Just fun fun fun. All high school groups are pretty well represented with a nifty thme of nailing the Super jock by his former Girlfriends. Another easy happy ending with cool acting , a nifty way to spend an hour and half.If you like this kind of movie this one deserves a place in your DVD collection.
Good family movie. 
2008-01-18 - Despite the title, there is no violence in this movie. This is a good movie the whole family can enjoy with no fowl language or nudity.
Very, Very Good Movie. 
2007-12-22 - I saw John Tucker Must Die on a bus back from Boston, and I simply loved it! It had an amazing plot, and there were so many funny parts that I thought the bus windows would explode because of all the loud laughter in the vehicle.
The plot was good, the acting was good, and the laughs were good. It's a perfect package!
This is a wonderful comedy movie that comedy lovers should buy. It's very funny and good. A must buy.
