Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

zkonedog I have written over 750 Amazon reviews and pride myself on my ability to dissect a film after viewing and give a concise description of why it was good/bad. In the case of "I Love You, Beth Cooper", however, I have to break from my normal pattern to get this point across: this is one of the worst movies ever made.The ONLY (and I mean absolutely ONLY) reason to watch this movie is for the beauty of Hayden Panettiere (and a PG-13 Hayden at that). I'm completely and utterly serious...that is it. The rest of this "film" is absolute garbage. It is not funny, it is not heart-warming, it is not cute. It...is...horrible.Not too long ago, I watched the movie "Take Me Home Tonight" (starring Topher Grace). It was terrible (1-star). That effort, however, looks like Shakespeare compared to this sorry excuse for cinema.I'm not usually a fan of this genre, but every once in awhile am up for a little "teenage antics" flick. I'm telling you, however, to not make the same mistake that I did in devoting 100 minutes to this "thing". There's got to be something else...anything...more worth your time.And for those looking for your "Hayden fix", go watch that "Bring It On" movie or heroes or something. This isn't worth it.

SnoopyStyle Valendictorian Dennis Cooverman (Paul Rust) gives the craziest of all graduation speech. First he proclaims "I love you, Beth Cooper". Beth (Hayden Panettiere) is the hot popular cheerleader. That's before his speech makes enemies. He even declares that his best friend Rich Munsch (Jack Carpenter) is gay. He invites her to his graduation party. It's only him and Rich but then surprisingly, Beth shows up with her girlfriends Cammy (Lauren London) and Treece (Lauren Storm).This movie really struggles with Paul Rust as the lead. He's a geeky looking guy but not nearly adorable enough. He's quirky but not that funny. The character really demands to be played by a faux-geek rather a real nerd like Rust. Hayden Panettiere's character is not somebody on a pedestal. She's a little bit complicated and that's a good thing. The problem is that she's not the lead. Rust is the lead and he can't carry the movie.

marcusman48 I don't know what I was expecting, but I think I got what I deserved. I shouldn't have been so stupid to fall into the trap.I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER just rehashes every teen-movie stereotype we've seen since ANIMAL HOUSE, and not in a way that's at all fresh or funny. I could quibble about a lot of the little things: I could, for example, point out that a big opportunity was missed, if the heroine's parents were fans of heavy metal, to name her ALICE Cooper instead of Beth (especially since "School's Out" features so prominently on the soundtrack), though of course a movie called I LOVE YOU, ALICE COOPER would have thrown people off as to what it was really about.That aside, what angered me most were the stereotypes, especially the "nerd" ones. I've always hated the very word "nerd": it's an ugly slur and even sounds ugly, and if you ask me it should be considered "the other n-word." But popular culture continues to condescend to intelligent, artistic and/or shy people, trying to weasel their way out of accusations of nerd-bashing with "C'mon, we're just joking" or "We're laughing WITH you, not at you." Bull. They are most definitely laughing AT us.Actually, just about every teen character - and some of the adults, too - is a stereotype. There ARE a few bright points: it's refreshing for once to see a black character in a movie who's not tough or foul-mouthed or talks like Jar Jar Binks. And Beth Cooper herself is a LITTLE more developed as a character...but for a farce like this one, that's not saying much.I can't understand why movies like this one are still being made in the 21st century. I thought this was a generation that prided itself on being (pardon my cynicism) really smug and smart-alecky, and too cool for the old Hollywood shtick. Well, movies like BETH COOPER are not cool at all. And I don't want to hear the "we're-cool-because-we're-doing-it-ironically" excuse, because that carries no credibility for me.Really, the only reason to subject oneself to this movie is for the generous close-up shot it offers of Hayden Panettiere's cute porn-star panties. So I'll give this film a "2" for the panties and also because Panettiere as a whole is a joy to look at. But believe me: there is absolutely nothing else saving I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER from a "1" rating from me.

bonniekenna I actually got this movie because I thought it was be horrible and would be a good way to clear my mind of stress and fall asleep. I ended up staying up late because it was surprisingly funny. While, I will admit, the movie is very stupid, it is also very hilarious!!! I'm a huge fan of Superbad, Old School, etc...Usually when such far fetched things happened in a movie that make it even "stupider", I don't like them...I honestly haven't laughed as hard as I did, in certain points in that movie, in a longggggg time! If you're looking for a movie for some simple humor...this wins! I remember seeing the previews for this some time back, and kind of wanted to see it. And then when the movie began, I was a little disappointed, but disappointment turned into me being surprised as to the humor within it!
