Plot: When three popular girls from different cliques discover they've all been dating the school stud, they band together to seek revenge. Despite the jerk's charm and ever-growing popularity, the girls cleverly scheme with the help of the inconspicuous new girl in town, to soil his reputation and break his heart.

Review: I admit that I am a fan of Desperate Housewives, so seeing Jesse Metcalfe in a film was cool. I am pretty picky when it comes to these kinds of films, because they usually are all the same crap, but I figured if the director of Howard Stern’s Private Parts did it, it had to be good.

Overall this movie is ok. There is nothing really special about this movie. The story is not original, but is decent. The acting is good, but what I expected from this kind of film. There are some really funny moments, but there are also some slow moments. The cast is good, but there is no one that shines. Jesse Metcalfe was good, but he just played his character from Desperate Housewives, which leads me to believe he has no range. The only person that really irritated me was Ashanti. I don’t know if it was her character or the stupid thing on her head half the movie, but she irritated to no end every time she was on screen. If you like the normal ‘chick flick’, then you will probably like this film.
