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.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

An exercise in repetition and failed mimicry.

The National (UAE)

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.

Predictable ending from the very start, but not how that ending would be realized… And then it’s just a fiasco of events that would never make sense in a million years, entwined with a few bawdy jokes in an attempt to save the day. Well, part of the deal was the 2009 vibes taking over, and that’s enough by itself.

The movie was great, too bad it did not have a sequel. Last time, I watched it was in high school now I'm in my 30s. Still great movie.

Hayden is a heck of an actress but this gives her little to do.

The opening was the only good part and everything else after that is terrible mess.
