John Tucker Must Die !

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Was at Mid-Valley on wednesday for movie and a walk !.. And Find it difficult to choose a movie to watch. But I really wanna watch some good movie.. and there Goes.. "John Tucker Must Die" ..without actually kNowing wht isit all bout But I knew it’s bout High School Stories..

John Tucker is captain of the basketball team and thought of as "somewhere between an Abercrombie model and a Greek god," by every girl at Forest Hills High. In fact, he’s so well thought of (especially by himself) that he manipulates and beds multiple girls (Heather, the vivacious cheerleader; Carrie, the brainy school reporter; and Beth, the "easy" vegan) all at the same time.

Kate, the narrator of the story, is seemingly the only one to notice what’s going on. But she’s the new, invisible girl at school and says nothing. When John’s three girlfriends inevitably find out about one another, a train wreck ensues and Kate is the accidental caboose that gets the girls thinking about revenge. They recruit her to help them ruin John’s reputation, but when that fails they decide to re-create Kate in their combined image, and hatch a scheme to break John Tucker’s heart.

EVeryBody ! Trust me ..U should go check this out.. It’s reality ! It’s a slap to every guy’s face..

John Tucker Must Die, which at times feels a lot like Mean Girls 2, actually starts out with a cute, high school journal feel as Kate tells us of transferring from school to school and feeling like she was invisible in the midst of a crowd. But it quickly degenerates into a world of self-absorbed, sexually expert teens who lie to everyone including the completely clueless adults who play no role in their lives whatsoever.

In the world of movies, it’s not uncommon to show people making mistakes as an illustration and encouragement toward good choices. And I appreciate that Tucker attempts to use a picture of deception and its penalties to promote honesty and open communication. But isn’t it a bit erratic to preach one type of morality while indulgently wallowing in another? Virtually every female in this flick readily admits to having multiple sexual encounters with … whomever. And nobody really cares. It’s simple not a problem.

At John’s birthday bash, after he and Kate admit that it was wrong to lie, the camera singles out a guy in the crowd who calls out, "There ain’t nothin’ wrong with hookin’ up with the finest girls in the school!" Everyone cheers, a food fight erupts and we restart the fiesta. The final message then, is that casual sex is OK, even expected … just don’t lie about it. Last scene in the movie? A "chastened" John Tucker with his arms around two new girls, letting them know right up front that he’s dating both of them. They smile. And giggle.

Strikes Back !
