John Tucker Must Die 2006

Exactly what you expect from a chick flick. Still a fun watch.

Actually pretty fun.

I'm not sure what I was expecting coming into this, the early scenes suggested it was about be a long 87 minutes ahead. However, pleasantly, 'John Tucker Must Die' is entertaining. It's most definitely not one to take solemnly, but if you see it for what it is you might have a decent time.

The cast work delightfully together, even if they do - along with all the other characters - act cliché more often than not. Brittany Snow is surprisingly impressive as Kate, her body language and facial expressions are actually perfect for the role. Ashanti (Heather), Sophia Bush (Beth) and Arielle Kebbel (Carrie) support solidly. Jesse Metcalfe (John) seems to play the same role every time, but there's no denying he connects with Kate well.

Very silly and not a masterpiece by any definition, yet there is much to sit back with and enjoy. A mindless comedy.

This movie is just like every other early 2000s high school rom-com, for better and worse. Nice comfort content if you like the genre, even if it is not something that has aged particularly well after nearly 20 years.

Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching

This film is nice. Good humor and a moral final unexpected makes it enjoyable. Nothing exceptional, of course, but a good pastime.
