John Tucker Must Die may have been released in 2006, but it’s still highly relevant today. A vegan activist, cheer captain, honor society president, and an anonymous new girl get together to seek revenge on the star of the basketball team, who plays girls better than he plays the game. After many failed attempts of ruining his reputation, the new girl gives him a taste of his own medicine by breaking his heart. Here’s why this movie should be at the top of your “Must Watch” List.
1. Relatable Situations
Whether you’re the new girl dying to be noticed, the jock who breaks hearts for a hobby, the girls who have their hearts broken, the less popular brother, or people watching from the sidelines… there are many lessons to be learned from the movie. Everyone can relate in some form or another.
2. Chocolate truly does bring light to any situation.
A breakup, fight with your best friends or parents, bad test grade, poor performance in a game, there’s nothing a little or (should I say A LOT of) chocolate can’t fix.
3. There are more than just popular jerks in the world.
John’s little, less popular brother Scott falls for the new girl Kate while they’re partners in chemistry lab. Kate is too busy trying to make John’s life miserable to even notice what’s right in front of her. They connect on so many different levels but Kate completely misses out on a great opportunity. Love sneaks up on you.
4. Jesse Metcalfe
Although he is the “villain” in the movie, Jesse Metcalfe blesses your TV or computer screen with his beautiful green eyes, dark hair, and pearly whites.
