Hold Up: JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE (2006) – Presented on 35mm!

Everyone’s the asshole in this teen comedy based on Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor.

When three high school girls discover they are all dating the same guy, they hatch a plot to humiliate him. Rather than confront him, the trio enlist a shy outcast to seduce him and break his heart. 

 

 

This film stacks the deck with everything that makes a great teen movie, for better or worse. Part Mean Girls, part She’s All That, JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE is a quirky mess with an all-star cast (including Ashanti, Sophia Bush, Jenny McCarthy, and Penn Badgley) and a nostalgia-fueled soundtrack. Don’t miss the 2006 hit that one pop-culture writer calls “everything wrong with teen movies.”
