But thats a funny line.And Im happy to say, from the way its delivered, you can bet Betty Thomas knows its funny, too.

Theres precious little for older audiences: none of the bite of Mean Girls, and the transparent plotting and gender stereotyping annoy.

The films sheer technical ineptitude seems almost intentional, bordering on avant garde expressiveness.

But their determination is something to see and occasionally even to laugh at.The title notwithstanding, no contract is put out on Johns life.
San Francisco Chronicle

A load of formulaic nonsense that should still turn a few young heads thanks to its fantasy plot and Jesse Metcalfes chest

No one stands out as being especially good or bad and, as most people will acknowledge, nothing is more boring than mediocrity.

Its aggressive and sexy enough to appeal to kids like its central characters before undermining many of their assumptions.

In the typical vein of high school teen movies full of joie de vivre, John Tucker Must Die is unadulterated fluff. Derivative but somewhat amusing.
Hollywood

Otherwise, the film lacks the nerve for any genuinely nasty fun or comic bite.
Seattle Pi
2.0
Designed as an ultimate revenge fantasy John Tucker Must Die is a moderately funny teen comedy with a few flashes of bawdy humor.

It feels like the story doesnt have enough meat to accommodate a feature film, as the girls must keep coming up with new ways to embarrass John.
From The Balcony

Rarely has a title promised so much, and delivered so little. John Tucker Must Die is toothless, gormless, witless, and, worst of all, deathless.
