I Love You, Beth Cooper

What to Know

Critics 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.

This adaptation of Larry Doyle's bestseller is too soul-starved and lethally bland to warm the co*ckles.

The National (UAE)

Why Columbus would choose at this stage in his career to make such puerile and uninspiring nonsense is the main dilemma posed by this dud.

Hayley M This should be played in prison on repeat! Excellent punishment tool! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Steve D Hayden is a heck of an actress but this gives her little to do. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Kiko G The opening was the only good part and everything else after that is terrible mess. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/23 Full Review Alex H Plot was quite confusing, very choppy movie Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Patrick T Life changing. Watch TrailerBoyz on twitch. GFY Dollickers. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Stork S My honor got questioned by a drunk man so now I'm here. ILYBC was a roller coaster of dads with Magnum condoms, accurate stereotypes of white people and some of the best stunt driving in a 3-cylinder hatchback I have ever seen. Pretty solid teen comedy that only has a few old-world slurs Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
