Three teenagers two-timed by a local lothario decide to turn the tables on him in this
romantic comedy.
John Tucker (
Jesse Metcalfe) is the big man on campus at his high school -- he's the captain and star player of the basketball team, he's got money, he's good-looking and charming, and he can have any girl he wants. However, the latter attribute is about to get him in serious trouble when three different girls at his school --
Heather (
Ashanti),
Beth (
Sophia Bush) and
Carrie (
Arielle Kebbel) -- discover they've all been dating
John at the same time. Determined to bring down the campus ladykiller, the girls devise a plan -- they pick a cute but socially clumsy girl who is new at school,
Kate (
Brittany Snow), and give her a crash course in stealing
John's heart. Once
Kate has
John wrapped around her little finger, she's supposed to drop him like a bad habit and give him a taste of what heartbreak is really like. However, it seems that the early stages of the plan work a little too well, and
John and
Kate end up falling for each other for real.
John Tucker Must Die also stars
Jenny McCarthy,
Penn Badgley, and
Dan Payne.
