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 is pretty average stuff.

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

3/5

The real problem is that it doesn't have any heart. This is by-the-numbers film-making in which even those moments when the characters step off the merry-go-round to catch their breath feel manufactured.

An exercise in repetition and failed mimicry.

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.

So dumb, to make a long story short. Then again, I don't know what guy wouldn't want to have that kind of night with their crush

Quer uma comédiazinha sem se preocupar muito com a história, pode assistir, agente cria vínculo com o protagonista porque agente torce por ele mas tem poblemas como: atuações porque até a haiden panettiere que é uma boa atriz teve uma atuação mais fraca além de cenas sem nexo ou motivos de existir forçando essa de ter um dia cheia de coisas loucas. Mas pode assistir numa boa se for sem ligar muito para os defeitos
