Movie Reviews: I Love You, Beth Cooper
10 July 2009 11:54 AM, PDT

When it comes to I Love You, Beth Cooper, most critics don't. These are some of their descriptions.

Claudia Puig, USA Today: "This leaden teen comedy is meant to be lively, but it's curiously bland."

A.O. Scott, New York Times: a "drab and incoherent teen comedy."

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: an "unfunny, unoriginal, charmless teen comedy."

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: "The distance from shameless rip-off to loving homage may not be far, but it is a chasm this film fails to jump."

On the other hand, Kyle Smith writes in the New York Post that the movie "isn't especially hilarious, but it has a warm sense of humor instead of a string of gross-out jokes. It'll be a cable mainstay."

I ignore movie critics. There have been too many movies that I've loved, that they've panned, and vice versa. I do have strange habit of reading reviews after I've seen the movie. Just reaffirms what dumbasses they are, lol. Some of them wouldn't know a good movie if it bit them in the, in the finger.
