I just read that there is a book, this film is based on. I haven't read that, obviously, so I can't compare any differences. But the movie itself had a nice funny premise. Although if I had watched the trailer, I might have realized, that it wouldn't be that good. It has it's moments, but ...

Well, there are quite a few funny moments, were you might be able to chuckle/laugh, but the overall feeling will be, that you will be left with a void. Nice acting (for a movie/genre like this),but the ideas are just too few and in between, to really have you invest into the characters and their troubles. I guess it will have some effect on some people (fans of the main actress, some teenagers),but as the voting also shows here on IMDb, most people were disappointed.

"I Love You, Beth Cooper" is a tad more than just your average teenage comedy. Sure it has the typical teenage comedy material in it, but there is also a deeper story to it. A romantic story, and it is one that you can easily get yourself into because it is quite nice.

Of course, the movie was helped along the way by a fairly good young cast. Hayden Panettiere (playing Beth) was a good touch to the movie with her charm and wits. But of course, it was the performance of Paul Rust (playing Denis) who carried the movie all the way. Jack Carpenter (playing Rich) was also quite good in the role. One part of the cast that weren't so great were the two goons constantly following Shawn Roberts (playing Kevin) around. They were laughable and came off as mindless drones. Actually, the whole part with these 3 older military-like guys was a bit unnecessary and forced.

I liked "I Love You, Beth Cooper" because it had an extra layer to it compared to your average teenage comedy. This movie has just enough laughs, awkward scenes and a solid love story going on. And those elements worked well together for the movie as a whole.

The whole speech scene at graduation day was really cool. It was so delightfully awkward and weird.

"I Love You, Beth Cooper" is well worth the watch if you are in for an evening of comedy, but like your movies to have more than just shallow laughs on the menu. The story (and all its side aspects) was really good. This is one of the more impressive teenage comedies I have seen in awhile.

"I Love You, Beth Cooper" opened with an extremely awkward scene, Denis (Paul Rust) confessing his love for Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere) during his valedictorian speech at his High School graduation. It was so awkward. I was so uncomfortable and embarrassed for him; it made me cringe. I didn't want to look but I just couldn't look away. The awkwardness was lightened with a few very funny remarks made during the speech. Luckily this was the only awkward humor. I don't think I would be able to handle a whole lot of that.

My favorite character was Rich Munsch played by newcomer Jack Carpenter. He was very funny with his random, homosexual comments then insisting he is not gay. Naturally I loved his movie references throughout the film.

"I Love You, Beth Cooper" was very stupid but so very amusing. There were countless moments when I laughed out loud. There were hilarious moments such as a towel battle scene, a fight scene with Carpenter jumping out a window as means of escape, and a scene involving a terrifying raccoon.

Though it was stupid and funny there were a lot of serious moments. The two main characters played by Rust and Panettiere did a lot of talking with their eyes. They understood personal and profound moments the other was going through. Oddly enough they had a great connection.

Though the acting wasn't fantastic, it wasn't a downfall for the film.

I am absolutely shocked to say this but I thoroughly enjoyed watching "I Love You, Beth Cooper". I would recommend it for a good laugh.
