Storyline

Kate (Brittany Snow) is the new girl in school. She catches John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) dating three different girls at once: Carrie - the smart girl, Heather - the cheerleader, and Beth - the activist slut; none of them are aware that they are not the only girl in John's heart. Kate, having been raised by a single mother, has seen the pain caused by playboys like John Tucker, and she won't stand idly by. Together with the three jilted ex-girlfriends, they hatch a plan to teach John a lesson. Things rarely go as planned, especially when Kate starts to think that she might be falling for John herself.

Goofs

Continuity: In the chemistry scene where Scott tells Kate he is going to be with Alex again it shows him briefly scratching his nose. While he's scratching it the camera view changes and his hand is suddenly back at his side. It would be much too hard for him to put it down so fast. See more »

Quotes

[girls groan]
Coach Williams: Yeah, yeah, I know, we all hate each other.
