John Tucker Must Die

The movie "John Tucker Must Die" is about a popular guy in high school who can get any girl he wants and how he prides himself on being able to have more than one girl at once without them knowing about it. A few girls find out and decide to get even by breaking his heart. This movie describes how society sometimes portrays men as being powful, masculine and able to outsmart women with their simple charm. The guy uses his looks and believes that it just makes women fall to his feet. This movie initially displays women as being weak and love obsessed with good looking guys. Every girl in the movie thinks he is a god and is willing to do anything for him. However, as the movie progresses the girls begin to out smart him and show him that just because he is good looking does not mean he gets whatever he wants. He learns that lying and cheating is not right. He realizes that his thinking about how girls should feel priviledged to date him and should feel honored or special is wrong. The girls realize that they do not need him and that they are strong independent girls.
