Story: |
If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, just think of the damage three
teenage girls could to do if pushed to their romantic breaking points. Okay,
now, take whatever you're imagining, and triple it. That's how much havoc a
band of resourceful high school girls end up wreaking on the triple-timing
campus stud in the comedy John Tucker Must Die.
The destruction begins when three gorgeous, popular girls from competing high
school cliques discover that they've each been dating the same guy: the
school's smooth and hunky basketball team captain, John Tucker. After comparing
notes, the fuming trio - reporter-wannabe Carrie, head cheerleader Heather,
and vegan activist Beth - conspire to teach Tucker a lesson he'll never forget.
They decide to attack his game and make this guy, who is never without a date,
"undatable." Unfortunately, every wacky, grossly embarrassing scheme they hatch
to undermine "Tuck" backfires and only makes him more popular than ever.
Desperate, the girls realize they'll have to step up their assault. There's only
one way left to take: to break his heart ... the same way he's broken theirs.
Carrie, Heather, and Beth then recruit a pretty, but anonymous school newcomer,
Kate, to get the hot jock to fall for her, so she can ceremoniously dump him.
Kate's hesitant to play along but, desperate for new friends and a chance to
finally be "visible," she agrees to help the girls execute their dastardly plan.
The trio soon turns Kate into the girl of John Tucker's dreams and, right on
schedule, he falls head over heels for the attractive blonde. At first, Kate
plays hard to get, which completely confounds Tucker, a guy who usually has
women falling at his feet. But, despite her best efforts to resist him, Kate
finds herself drawn to Tucker, and gets caught between her loyalty to her new
gal pals and her unexpected attraction to John.
Meanwhile, Kate's struck up a friendship with her chemistry lab partner, Scott,
who just happens to be "Tuck's" younger brother. Scott, who's used to taking a
backseat to his sibling, can't let Kate know how he really feels about her,
especially as he sees her falling for John. Even Kate's single mother, Lori,
who's on her own dating merry-go-round, tries to warn Kate against her mission
to dupe the unsuspecting John Tucker. But Kate's in too deep - there's no turning
back now. Or is there?
Can Kate keep her romantic wits about her and pull off the ultimate revenge
against a girl's worst enemy: the serial dater? Can fantasy guy John Tucker
possibly change his ways and become a one-woman man? And can Carrie, Heather,
and Beth actually stay friends with Kate - and with each other - or will they
eventually end up back in their respective cliques, never to cross over into
such "uncharted" social territory again?
