Consensus: Heavily reliant on stereotypes and shallow teen comedy clichés, I Love You Beth Cooper is a humorless affair that fails to capture the charm of its source novel.
Theatrical Release:21-08-2009

Reviews for I Love You, Beth Cooper
The slapstick mucilage doesn't bind with the film's increasingly straightforward dramedy about Denis' epiphany that his dream girl is human.

Perhaps Columbus was involved in a hideous car accident recently that left him brain damaged, or maybe tragic senility is creeping up on the 51-year-old filmmaker. I refuse to believe he willingly created something this monstrously unfunny.
07/09/09
Usually the quality gap between book and movie isn't the size of Texas.
07/09/09
Chris Columbus' high school comedy-adventure is a bland, overly familiar tale in which all the characters are stereotypes.
07/08/09
I've got no sympathy for Panettiere, who dives into her first star vehicle with minimal charm or effort.
07/08/09
This nightmare scenario is to high-school valedictorians what this wreck of a movie is to comedy screenwriters.
07/08/09
Every time the story shows some glimmer of originality, it immediately retreats back to formula.
07/08/09
[A] joyless, offensively stupid end-of-high-school farce.
