“I Love You, Beth Cooper” Movie Review
“I Love You, Beth Cooper” Plot Summary
A nerdy valedictorian proclaims his love for the hottest and most popular girl in school Beth Cooper 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.
A Nice Twist on the Coming of Age Genre
One of the main characters spends the ENTIRE movie quoting lines from other movies — why then should it come as a surprise that the movie itself operates as a pastiche of the coming-of-age/teen rite-of-passage film? And yet, I Love You Beth Cooper provides a neatly drawn, dark commentary on its predecessors, while maintaining its own quirky lightheartedness
I was particularly pleasantly surprised by Hayden Panettiere’s performance (I am not a fan of Heros) and felt she conveyed the ultimate sadness of her character beautifully, with just the right touch of cynicism and self-awareness to make the character work. I felt she easily transcended the actress and became the title character, providing what might have been a fluff piece with dramatic substance
Paul Rust as the nerdy hero was fun to watch and even believable – I gradually came to accept the possibility that this geek and his self-deprecating manner could indeed win the beauty. The supporting players were also quite excellent, lending interesting subtexts and character depth to the film. The director made the good choice to allow the supporting cast to step up and take over the action at times, providing a living backdrop for the looming choices and growing awareness of Rust’s and Panettiere’s performances. Both allowed me to care about what happened to their characters
A special mention goes to Shawn Roberts for his superb job as the villain. While the villain’s ultimate comeuppance was a bit of letdown (because the film too abruptly dropped that storyline), Roberts provided a convincing performance for what is, after all, the stereotypical villain role
A lot of what this movie, and this type of movie, is about is wish-fulfillment. The ‘transformation’ of the bully rang especially true — who among us has not wished the same for their own childhood bullies? And in that sense, I Love You Beth Cooper delivers strongly on this promise, allowing us to join the characters in the universe of the film and cheer them on
I tend to judge a film like this one in terms of whether or not I enjoy being in its universe for the duration. It’s not often that during a film that I regret the passage of time– that is, that I know the film will end soon and wish it wouldn’t. And that I begin to wonder how the story might continue. I would have happily remained in the world of I Love You Beth Cooper for a little while longer. And yes, I’d like to know what happens at the characters’ reunion
A few of the director’s choices confused me -especially the rather protracted memory sequences, when the characters relive parts of their childhood. The film’s rather brisk pacing abruptly shifts into slow motion during these scenes, some of which are just a wee bit long. But I gradually became used to this–and came to see them as a sort of counterpoint to the otherwise frenetic plot
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. However, my rating – 9/10 – reflects ONLY how I feel the movie holds up within its category and genre, and NOT its place in the history of film. It’s just a teen comedy–but a really good one
A caveat: I watched this at home, not in a theater. Whether or not the movie translates well to the big screen (and the price of admission) is a subject I cannot comment on.

“Jennifer’s Body” Movie Review
“Jennifer’s Body” Plot Summary
A newly possessed cheerleader turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?
Nice l guess. lf you like that kinda stuff
You wouldn’t think that a 15 year old would be reviewing a movie which is ‘Rated R for sexuality, bloody violence, language and brief drug use.’ (wait l didn’t see no drugs) but you gadda love piratebay
So anyways l saw this movie today and kinda liked it actually. l mean Horror is not exactly my genre of movies but l couldn’t not see a movie with Megan Fox in it. l may end up regretting it after wards but at the moment l’m really glad that l saw it. l may never have the same thoughts for Megan as l had before tho. This movie is rather violent. Especially to guys l mean some of the scenes were grouse and way too violent even for me. Still l think that horror fans have seen worse. l myself saw the first 3 minutes of ‘Freddy vs Jason’ and nearly pukes. But l’ getting far of topic here. The whole story line was nice. Made some sense but after all it’s a horror movie and those never really do make that much sense.l strongly recommend it for fans of the genre. As for Megan Fox fans. Watch out for this movie guys (talking to the male fans really) This is not the Megan Fox you’s wanna have dreams about at night. Unless you’re some kinda of a freakish pervert dude, in which case good for you.
