A load of formulaic nonsense that should still turn a few young heads thanks to its fantasy plot and Jesse Metcalfe's chest. Go to Full Review

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

Poe R Mar 25, 2019 The premise is favorable, but its also been there done that. Everything else in between, is a complete train wreck. The plot is muddled, incoherent, and messy. The performances scream misguided and poor; along with the characters, who don't even look close to high school age. Also the laughs don't land at all and the ending is completely incomprehensible. Bringing us a message that doesn't teach us anything is shore to backfire in your face. How the hell to teenage girls like this movie again? This was just awful. See more
Luke G Mar 19, 2019 It clearly tries to cash in on the success of Mean Girls but it was still amusing. Jesse Metcalfe and Brittany Snow both put in good performances and work well with each other. It was very satisfying seeing John Tucker get revenge served to him at the end and I find many young people can relate with it because everyone once knew someone in high school who was very popular but you know something had to be wrong about them. John Tucker is the Regina George of male teenagers when it comes to being popular and all the bad things he has done but tries to look nice. See more
Han S Dec 16, 2017 Not the deepest of movies but it was entertaining enough. The sabotage plot is a bit like Mean Girls, except the target is a guy. See more
Ron S Apr 17, 2017 I mean, we've all seen something like this before, right? Funny thing is, it's even less fun compared to films they've borrowed from. I just couldn't bear watching the same thing over and over again. But, honestly though, I think it could have been fun if it wasn't that predictable. See more
