John Tucker Must Die (2006)

When three popular girls from different cliques¹ discover they've all been dating the school stud, they band together to seek revenge. Despite the jerk's charm and ever-growing popularity, the girls cleverly scheme with the help of the inconspicuous new girl in town, to soil his reputation and break his heart.

More Details

Part Mean Girls, part Heathers—hell, there's even a little bit of Hilary Duff's ridiculously stupid The Perfect Man thrown in there—John Tucker Must Die fits the genre² nicely.

But the word "die" is a little harsh. Actually, when three high school girls - wannabe journalist Carrie, head cheerleader Heather and vegan activist³ Beth - find out they are all dating the delectable⁴ John Tucker, the school's basketball star, they decide to get even.

After several embarrassing tactics backfire, the girls come up with the perfect idea. They'll recruit pretty but anonymous⁵ new kid Kate, doll her up and get Tuck to fall in love with her so she can ceremoniously dump him.

Wow, I can't see anything going wrong with that plan. Not at all.

Comment

In the typical vein⁶ of high school teen movies full of joie de vivre, John Tucker Must Die is unadulterated fluff. Derivative⁷ but somewhat amusing.
