John Tucker Must Die movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: ... John Tucker Must Die is clever enough to avoid the places you expect it to end up, occasionally racy without being trashy, inventive in its torture. Read more
Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune: Despite its various shortcomings, John Tucker isn't a terrible movie. It just isn't terribly funny or terribly interesting, although I suspect that its intended audience won't mind very much. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: There's something mildly charming about this cheerful revenge comedy's lack of any straightforward moral agenda. Read more
Judy Chia Hui Hsu, Seattle Times: ... longtime director Betty Thomas shows that she's still got the pulse of teenage angst, bringing out strong performances from every one of the ensemble cast. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: This one will probably appeal to its target audience, which is young enough not to have tired of watching cat fights and food fights. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: One of the unheralded guilty pleasures of inane teen sex comedies comes from watching middle-aged filmmakers haplessly attempt to gauge the pulse of teen America. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: It's not really John Tucker who must die. But we ought to lay his tired teen-movie premise to rest. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: This one is like watching 100 minutes of acne. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: Hopeful cinephiles might long for pitch-black satire a la Heathers ... but this by-the-book high school revenge comedy has the spine of a wet ramen noodle. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: [A] tart-tongued mediocrity. Read more
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly: Ostensibly, he's been caught dating three pretty girls at the same time, but, really, is that a big deal? Well, no, according to this confused female-disempowerment flick. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: ... a teen payback comedy that squanders any potential it might have had on the altar of that all-important teen desire: It wants us to think it's cute. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: The performers are a bright bunch. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: If one is interested in seeing everything that's wrong with movies today -- from cynical marketing to the creative poverty of contemporary screenwriting -- Tucker provides one-stop shopping. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: ... slightly smarmy. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Jeff Lowell's slapdash script is as phony as Beth's trendy animal activism, but it does offer plenty of easy laughs. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: ... the movie loses its meanness in its last third, a cop-out that robs it of the reason for making it and giving it such a nasty title Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The jokes are obvious and unfunny, the storyline goes nowhere that's interesting or unexpected, and the only chemistry happens in a science lab. Read more
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail: ... it's so tediously formulaic, it never feels like more than a fourth-generation photocopy of the John Hughes template. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: ... a dreary female revenge timewaster that steals from so many and returns so little. Read more
Anna Smith, Time Out: Not the worst of its kind, but few over the age of 14 will find it worth forking out for. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: John Tucker Must Die is trying to be Mean Girls with a more pointed purpose, but it's less fun than it sounds. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: The title's difficult to argue with, unless it's to maintain that we'd all be better off if the film's entire roster of characters had been shot in the head at the dump, greyhound-style. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Despite doing its best to jiggle, giggle and ogle its way into a niche somewhere between Heathers and American Pie, it becomes just another forgettable pastiche of sight gags and pop-culture references. Read more
