John Tucker is popular, sexy, talented and a complete player. He dates three girls at once, the total stereotypes of every highschool, the cheerleader, the brainiac and the slut. When a new very pretty, sweet and clever girl, Kate, comes to town after her mother’s heart is broken yet again and packs their lives up again, they set out to use Kate in their scheme to humiliate John. But this fails and he breaks up with them after “finding his emotional needs”. Now they seek to kick the gear to overdrive and use Kate to break his heart and be the ultimate challenge for him. They mold her into the ultimate high- school femme fatal mystery chic and help her get John’s appetite wet. While John is hankering after her, she meets his younger brother, Scott, and becomes his lab partner. In Scott she finds friendship and starts to like him more than just platonically, and Scott reciprocates these feelings, until he realises that his brother wants her. Scott’s seen John pick up and quickly drop off every girl in the school, and chooses to keep his distance from Kate, thinking she’s like every other John Tucker groupie in the school. John starts to fall in love with Kate, and she realises what a nice guy he is under the alfa male mask.
Coming Soon..
• Ashanti had four or five concerts she had to perform during the making of the film, whereas Sophia Bush was also committed to shooting “One Tree Hill” (2003).
• In the script, the school didn’t have a specific mascot. But while filming on location at an actual high school, the film adopted their mascot, the Kodiaks.
• Since shooting took place during the actual school year in an existing high school, the crew had to ask students for permission to use and re-dress their lockers for shooting.
• Director Betty Thomas’ dogs, Jackie and Rico, were constantly on set during filming and had to be cut out of several scenes.
• Director Betty Thomas referred to all the actors by their characters’ names, since, she claims, she couldn’t remember their real names, and she wanted to think of them as their character. When she forgot their characters’ names, she’d simply refer to them as “person”.
• The line “Slut in truck!” was improvised by Arielle Kebbel on the spot.
• The idea of John Tucker wearing a thong was not in the original script. Originally, Kate talked him into shaving his head. Betty Thomas thought making him wear a thong was funnier. While shooting, the extras were actually taking pictures of him with their phones.
• While shooting the sound of the extras flip-flops proved too distracting, so Betty Thomas made most of them change into tennis shoes.
• In the script, the A.V. room in which the girls concoct their plans to destroy John Tucker was referred to as “The War Room”.
