(1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1   1.5/4 "I Love You, Beth Cooper spreads itself broadly, but in doing so, it robs the characters of any charm, depth, or personality."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 2/5 "So much emphasis is put on pratfalling that it leaves the sensitive moments completely stranded, unable to make themselves felt for fear they may get a punch in the mouth."   Eye for Film   Amber Wilkinson .5/5 "If comedy is all timing, then I Love You Beth Cooper is temporally retarded."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron F "Perhaps Columbus was involved in a hideous car accident recently that left him brain damaged, or maybe tragic senility is creeping up on the 51-year-old filmmaker. I refuse to believe he willingly created something this monstrously unfunny."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 1/5 "a film of convoluted shallowness and bloated melodrama"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin 3/4 "...an amiable piece of work..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Let me be clear here: I hated this movie. I hated it so much I couldn't even bring myself to laugh at how awful it was."   Film Threat   Don R. Lewis 3/4 "An honest, earnest, dryly cutting coming-of-age comedy. Travels down a road of nostalgia that accurately portrays that very specific moment in a person's life when he or she realizes high school—and childhood—is over for good."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman F "Wants to emulate a John Hughes film, in much the same way that a crack whore wearing a dime-store tiara wants to emulate Queen Elizabeth."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider 0/4 "A film so badly executed that you have to wonder if Larry Doyle (who serves as screenwriter) ever read his own book, let alone wrote it."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress F "Nowhere near as vulgar as most contemporary teen comedies...On the other hand, it's a crushing bore. At least Nia Vardalos' terrible I Hate Valentine's Day had the right verb in its title."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "Succumbs to really dumb comedy routines."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "The filmmakers lacked the courage and conviction to tell an honest, character-based story and resorted to something that has been massaged into a more comfortable, easily consumable cinematic morsel."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Flip-flopping between flailing farce and dull drama is just one of the reasons that I Love You, Beth Cooper's graduation day comedy flunks."   Redbox   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2/5 "It just tries a little too hard. If the movie were a high school geek and the American audience were the prettiest cheerleader, this would not be a match."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr "In the real world, this would be called... passive-aggressive... but in the world of adolescent romantic comedies, this is deemed a charming and daring act by a 'nice guy'..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "Laughs are in equally short supply as interesting, much less likable, characters."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2/4 "My problem with the film is that Larry Doyle (who also penned the screenplay) seems to have softened what his novel was fundamentally about."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "Takes the tiredest and most predictable elements,wrings out any authentic or appealing detail, and then drags out every single set-piece to the agonizing breaking point."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1/5 "I have seen the future of comedy hell and it is named "I Love You, Beth Cooper," a creepy, deeply unpleasant and decidedly unfunny teen comedy that goes on for about 90-odd minutes and inspires nary a laugh, chuckle or guffaw."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/4 "This is what happens when the guy who directed two "Home Alone" movies collaborates with the screenwriter of "Looney Tunes: Back in Action.""   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 3/10 "Something went terribly awry with this wannabe teen comedy from Chris Columbus."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1
