I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

Overrated

Highly Overrated But Still Good

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Combine the worst elements of a movie directed by John Hughes (e. g., "Ferris Beuller's Day Off"), "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", and "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle", and you have an idea of what this load of codswallop is like.This flick thinks it's the millennial version of "Dazed and Confused" (which, in itself, was dreadful) and ends up being an unfunny mess.The lead character is irritatingly annoying and his buddy in the movie is even worse because he won't shut up with his movie trivia. The ex-boyfriend of the young lady in question keeps popping up in the story and, like a bad toothache, won't go away.There's nothing remotely amusing or entertaining about this movie. Maybe it can be used in a film school lecture with the warning: "Don't let this happen to you."If you want to watch an end-of-high-school movie, "American Graffiti" did it much better and was much more realistic. As for this one, avoid it as it isn't worth watching.

You guys are dropping hate on it for being bad unfunny or uncreative reused jokes but thats the point its not meant to be serious or have good timing or anything its a teen high school p*ss take movie meant to be cringy bad if they were going to make a serious teen love movie it would look high school musical or twilight and then you would drop the reviews because its to serious as for reused jokes most teen love comedy's have copied joke thats what makes them light harted and funny Please give it a fair chance Bare that in mid before watching it don't take it seriously its worth a watch if your in the mood for bad jokes a teen comedy

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.

earlier i said Catwoman is the worst movie ever, well i only saw internet reviews, and i take it back THIS is the worst movie I've ever SEEN.i didn't see this movie in theaters, i forgot it pretty quickly, my parents rented it from the library for me, since we were fans of heroes, i like Hayden Panettiere, me and my brother watched it in my room, a half hour later, my parents asked me why i didn't finish, i just had no words i could say nothing, i am glad they took it back to the library and it's not seen at my library anymore what happened? why would Hayden Panettiere and director Chris Columbus of Home Alone, Harry Potter (and the movie Percy Jackson he directed one year later had something better to offer) agree to this i don't know is this is supposed to be a parody of teen films or what? but i don't care i cant put it into words, this is the ugliest repulsive worst movie I've ever seen.i am of the few people who hated American Pie, for how unlikable the characters were, and not funny the gross out humor was, even American Pie had some believability, and one funny character.the "nerdy" guy were supposed to identify with is a douche from the very beginning and is nonredeemable even by the end, the "hot boyfriend" and the "hot girl" are both psychos, the gay friend who quotes movies (i take offense to this character) is just unrealistically horrible, everyone is unrealistic i just cant put it into words, i barely got through half of this movie, i was just so repulsed at this disgusting horrible image at what someone thinks teen comedies are supposed to be like.
