"John Tucker Must Die" (2006) is a romantic comedy about a group of teenage girls who go to hilarious lengths to get even with their manipulative ex-boyfriend. In the movie, Kate Johnson is a normal girl who lives with her mother, who has been through a series of bad relationships. She dubs each of her mother's boyfriends "Skip" because they skip the relationship. Kate gets a job as a waitress, and on the job, she spots basketball star John Tucker on dates with three young women. There's Carrie, a chronic over-achiever; Heather, an aggressive and sassy cheerleader; and Beth, a vegan activist.
The next day, the three girls discover that John has been stringing them along. They recruit Kate in their conspiracy to publicly humiliate him. Kate joins the cheer leading squad, and John immediately falls for her. In the meantime, Kate befriends John's brother Scott, aka "The Other Tucker". John and Kate go on some dates together, but soon Kate's behavior starts to change.
One time, Kate seduces John Tucker online and tricks him into wearing thongs. John takes advantage of the situation by starting a fashion trend. In the end, at John's birthday party, there's a big cake fight. Kate becomes John's one and only girlfriend and is friends with Heather, Beth and Carrie. "John Tucker Must Die" is rated PG-13 for sensuality, coarse language, and suggestive dialogue.
