Not the worst of its kind, but few over the age of 14 will find it worth forking out for.

Anna Smith, Time Out
Rotten

The jokes are obvious and unfunny, the storyline goes nowhere that's interesting or unexpected, and the only chemistry happens in a science lab.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

John Tucker Must Die is trying to be Mean Girls with a more pointed purpose, but it's less fun than it sounds.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten

... a dreary female revenge timewaster that steals from so many and returns so little.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh

... longtime director Betty Thomas shows that she's still got the pulse of teenage angst, bringing out strong performances from every one of the ensemble cast.

Judy Chia Hui Hsu, Seattle Times
