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 (JESSE METCALFE). After comparing notes, the fuming trio - reporter-wannabe Carrie (ARIELLE KEBBEL), head cheerleader Heather (ASHANTI), and vegan activist Beth (SOPHIA BUSH) - 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. Cast: JESSE METCALFE, ARIELLE KEBBEL, ASHANTI, SOPHIA BUSH Directed by Betty Thomas English language with subtitles in Latvian and Russian.
