'I Love You, Beth Cooper' web reviews

Chris Columbus returns to the big screen with a raunchy comedy entitled "I Love You, Beth Cooper," starring Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rust and Jack Carpenter. Story follows a hot chick showing a nerd the night of his life. Here is what some of the Web's critics have to say:

CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "Poor 'Beth Cooper', so unloved, so ditched on a weekend when it's sure to be crushed by 'Bruno,' so uninteresting even to the people who created it."

RopeOfSilicon's Brad Brevet: "I haven't been this annoyed at a movie in a long time and the film is so full of flaws pegging something down specifically wasn't easy."

Collider's Matt Goldberg: "'Beth Cooper' is not a disaster and if nothing else, Paul Rust’s lead performance made it worth my time."

• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejects: "Hayden Panettiere is given a chance to headline a movie, but she’s woefully miscast."

Joblo's Chris Cumbray: "All in all, I did not love 'BETH COOPER.' In fact; I downright loathed it at times."

Movie Review: “I Love You, Beth Cooper”

Seen on: July 6, 2009

The players: Director: Chris Columbus, Writer: Larry Doyle, Cast: Hayden Panettiere, Paul Rust, Lauren Storm, Jack T. Carpenter

Facts of interest: Based on Larry Doyle's book.

The plot: A high school's hottest chick shows a nerd the best time of his life after he publicly declares his love for her.

Our thoughts: Chris Columbus goes all raunchy on us in his latest comedy “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” an occasionally amusing film that lacks big laughs and surprises but can still be fairly enjoyable to watch. Columbus is a well-known filmmaker with some high-profile titles under his belt, but I don’t expect this one to pull large audiences.

Trailer radar: 'I Love You, Beth Cooper'

Here's the international trailer for Chris Columbus' (yes, that Columbus) upcoming comedy "I Love You, Beth Cooper," which opens in theaters July 10, 2009. In the film, a nerdy valedictorian proclaims his love for most popular girl in school – Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere) – during his graduation speech. Much to his surprise, Beth shows up at his door that very night and decides to show him the best night of his life.

As you can see after the jump, this international version is almost the same as the domestic. While it certainly looks like a brainless teen comedy, I must admit it also looks way funnier than some of these other embarrassingly bad comedies I've seen over the past years (no need to name them). I certainly believe in Columbus' directorial abilities, and I hope he took this idea and turned it into a refreshing summer flick packed with laughs.
