Over the weekend I took in my latest summer movie, “John Tucker Must Die”. The premise of this silly teenage flick is about three luscious lovelies (ex-girlfriends) of a serial cheater played by Desperate Housewives Jessie Metcalf set to have their former lover to fall in love with the new girl in town only to have his precious little heart broken.
These three jilted teenage girls conspire together to get sweet revenge, but, as you might consider, all kinds of unusual complications arise and valuable lessons are learned.
The film is reasonably entertaining which in my opinion boasts knowledgeable awareness and a higher than average female cultural IQ.
The movie only proves one thing, teenagers are preoccupied with sex and that this is what gets the go-ahead in contemporary Hollywood isn’t a movie that will be entertaining, or even make sense, but one whose concept — and only its concept — can most easily be sold.
It is most definitely a chick flick that teenage girls will love to see and Ashanti who plays the character Heather a scheming cheerleader has never looked lovelier.
Sexy recording artist Ashanti was born October 13, 1980 in Glen Cove Long Island. Amazing Ashanti began singing at the age of 12 and she was the first R&B singer to join Murder Inc. Records. She launched her singing career in 1994 when she was recognized at a talent show.
She has been inspired by many recording artists such as the great Ella Fitzgerald and more recent Mary J. Bilge. Her latest hits “Always on Time”, “What’s Luv” and “Foolish” have all made the top 10 in one week.
Ashanti, the twenty-five year old from Glen Cove Long Island started her acting career in a string of television appearances. Her first was in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer before going on to the big screen. Her first significant role was portraying a pregnant teenager in the 2005 basketball drama “Coach Carter”. Her next exciting project will be a sci-fic thriller “Resident Evil: Extinction” which is soon to scheduled for next years release.
Aspiring actress Ashanti may still be waiting for the next movie role to create her as the next bona fide star.
