Critics Consensus

This derivative teen comedy tries to go for cute when it could use more bite.

Empire Magazine

A load of formulaic nonsense that should still turn a few young heads thanks to its fantasy plot and Jesse Metcalfe's chest.

Rated: 2/5

Not the worst of its kind, but few over the age of 14 will find it worth forking out for.

John Tucker Must Die (2006) Cute Movie (11,833 – 15 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The teenager Kate (Brittany Snow) feels invisible at school since she has no friends. When her mother Lori (Jenny McCarthy) moves to another town with her, she meets the handsome and popular captain of the basketball team John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) from her high school with three different girlfriends at the restaurant where she works. When the girls Heather (Ashanti), Carrie (Arielle Kebbel) and Beth (Sophia Bush) learn that John Tucker cheats them, they team up with Kate and asks her to seduce John and damage his reputation. “John Tucker Must Die” (2006) is a cute movie by Betty Thomas. The plot is highly funny and entertaining, with Brittany Snow delightfully sweet in the role of Kate, who changes ger behavior and becomes popular at school. John’s girlfriends are very beautiful actresses and perform funny roles. For those who think that this film is for teenagers only, please be advised that old people will enjoy too provided they want to see a funny romantic comedy. My vote is seven.

I'll admit it. I only watched a third of it. When he started acting like a girl in the basketball game because he was given estrogen I turned it off. I didn't like any of the characters.
