Everywhere you go you here the glorious name of John Tucker. While managing his basketball career, and obtaining his great reputation, John loses track of the three ladies in his life.

John Tucker(Jesse Metcalfe) is portrayed as the star athlete. Kate( Brittany Snow) plays the part of the nobody turned somebody, the object of Tuckers affection.

This tale of teenage drama gives you a theme of what goes around comes around. This is portrayed in the movie when the girls turn your average Joe into girl of every guys dreams. In this way they give John a taste of his own medicine. While in the midst of everyone being wrapped up in their own problems things come back to haunt all of them.

I feel many teens will be able to relate to this movie because everyone will has either experienced certain situations
