First of all, this movie is NOT a copy of John Tucker Must Die. Its title title and tag line may be similar, but the story isn't! Its about a girl taking revenge from her boyfriend who she realizes on her 18th birthday is (basically) a jerk.
While in John Tucker Must Die, the 3 ex girlfriends plant a desirable girl for John Tucker and also plan pranks on him which work in his favor instead, in this movie, the guy IS her boyfriend but is only using her to get some points on this online billionaire boys club to win the King title, and her girlfriend Rhea, the main character realizes this on her birthday and with her 2 friends, decides to take revenge from him. Many teen movies have been made on revenge from ex boyfriends, you can't go about calling them copies, where this one has enough differences in its story to be not called a copy of JTND.
Apart from this, the movie is well made! Its free of star-son cast and the new faces are fresh AND talented! The story is well written and the movie is well directed. It brings laughs at moments and you enjoy every bit of revenge she takes. Nothing seems lame, stupid or out of place.
This movie was an attempt to create a teen oriented movie which is not the traditional love story ending in marriage and this movie does that successfully without trying to mock being Hollywood style.
But at the end of they day, it is still a teen movie and many guys will only like it if they have it in them to bear a joke on their gender. Apart from that, a very well made movie indeed!
