What the fudge is it?

John tucker is a sexy, tanned, sexy, tanned, sexy sexy jock who loves nothing more than having loads of girlfriends. Three of his ex girlfriends team up with the new girl to break the bastards heart. All kinds of man hating madness ensues!! Hooray for women!! Death to all men!!

What I Thought...

With my balls and reputation firmly checked at the door i sat down to watch John Tucker Must Die or as i would like to call it DEATH TO ALL MEN!!

Set in a highschool which only seems to have basketball players, cheerleaders, vegans and sluts we find John Tucker or as he should be referred to Male Fucker! John is playing more ladies than games of basketball before he finally gets caught. The film has a fantastic heart warming message showing us that wronged women can find hope, friendship and forgiveness in each other.

Naa it shows us that if it is anything that will bring women together it is the hatred of a man! a dirty man! with his good looks and testosterone!! God men are pricks!!

The film has a few decent gags one of which includes the witches replacing Johns bulk up supplements with female hormones. The result isnt as funny as Kevin Nash in the longest yard but i did chuckle. The film plays out like almost every other teen comedy with the edgy alternative love interest getting shunned until the final reel. The new girl in town is stunning and unpopular before she gets reinvented and then suddenly everyone notices that this girl is hot! How stupid and annoying freddy prince did this ages ago!! The man was ahead of the game!

Totally predictable the whole way. Im not gonna lie...the women in the film were really hot although i am not buying sophia bush as a vegan who happens to be a slut. Why the hell is the character a vegan?!? I swear this is something to do with equality and diversity because it doesnt factor into the story at all. She does however lose a skirt and have a lesbian kiss all in 10 minutes!

Admittedly it wasn't good but it wasn't the worst of its kind. A few laughs and enough eye candy to keep any man who has to watch it. i had expected a disaster, the balance between love stories and comedy is done much better in films like 10 things i hate about you.

Overall

I am ashamed i watched it and didnt hate it. Not an origional film and not an overly funny one. Bit ironic that the shallow slutty male side of me kept my interest in the film as that is the thing it tried so hard to achieve revenge on. Soundtrack is pretty good and Jesse Mercalfe showed he can play a hot womaniser which is totally different from his role on desperate housewives of the hot gardener. Great to see Jenny Mac Carthy in anything, she plays the unpopular girls hot cougar mom who has had a bad run of boyfriends (as if that would happen! Im look at you Jim Carrey!!)

(Is there a need for a picture of Jenny McCarthy? Hell yes!!)

Remember....Horray for Women! Death to all men!!

2/5
