always a sucker for teen flicks

John Tucker Must Die was absolutely fantastic. Poo to all you people who are above watching silly teen flicks, this was not only pleasing to the eyes (I mean Miguel from Passions / the gardener from Desperate Housewives, Brittany Snow, Brooke from One Tree Hill, Lindsey from Gilmore Girls, Ashanti, and Owen from The Bedford Diaries!), but so much fun to watch. Lines that easily could be cheesed up were delivered perfectly by the actors. Situations that could be regarded as completely over the top made believable (almost). My only complaints were that Sophia Bush did not make a believable “vegan slut,” though the second half was well performed by her. Also, Brittany Snow is way too pretty to have ever been “invisible.” And also that NO high school has that many good looking people in it. (At least mine didn’t! If yours did, lucky you!)

In any case, with a very original premise, a very good-looking and talented cast, and zero cheesiness (as I am apt to hate), John Tucker Must Die was not only pleasing to the eye, but kept me happy and laughing the entire time. So get your butt to the theater and watch it! (Or wait for it to come out on DVD and borrow it from me, cuz I for sure want to own this one!)
