Three teenagers two-timed by a local lothario decide to turn the tables on him in this romantic comedy. John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) is the big man on campus at his high school -- he's the captain and star player of the basketball team, he's got money, he's good-looking and charming, and he can have any girl he wants. However, the latter attribute is about to get him in serious trouble when three different girls at his school -- Heather (Ashanti), Beth (Sophia Bush) and Carrie (Arielle Kebbel) -- discover they've all been dating John at the same time. Determined to bring down the campus ladykiller, the girls devise a plan -- they pick a cute but socially clumsy girl who is new at school, Kate (Brittany Snow), and give her a crash course in stealing John's heart. Once Kate has John wrapped around her little finger, she's supposed to drop him like a bad habit and give him a taste of what heartbreak is really like. However, it seems that the early stages of the plan work a little too well, and John and Kate end up falling for each other for real. John Tucker Must Die also stars Jenny McCarthy, Penn Badgley, and Dan Payne. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A man looking for one last fling finds love in an unexpected place in this romantic comedy. Twentysomething Neal (Uday Chopra) comes from a family of Indian expatriates living in Canada. A self-styled ladies' man, Neal is chafing at his parents' insistence that he marry a girl from Bhatinda whom he's never met, but he agrees to the arranged match under one condition -- that he gets three weeks to sow his wild oats in Vancouver before settling down. His parents agree, and Neal hits the road for the big city. However, on his first day in Vancouver, Neal meets Nikki Bakshi (Tanisha Mukerjee), a pretty but scatterbrained Indian girl who manages to ruin his date with a sexy model that evening. Over the next few days, Neal can't seem to go anywhere without running into Nikki, who has a remarkable talent for spoiling his opportunities with the ladies. In time, Nikki starts to feel bad about spoiling Neal's last weeks of bachelor bliss, and decides to help him find some female companionship; however, things take an unexpected turn and Neal and Nikki wind up in bed together. While the two realize they have more in common than they first imagined, is Neal ready to settle down with Nikki? And even if he is, where does that leave his wife-to-be in Bhatinda? Shot on location in Canada, Neal n' Nikki was written and directed by talent from India, with a crew imported from Bollywood. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
