Nerdy nobody Denis Cooverman (Paul Rust) announces his love for blonde cheerleader Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettier) and mostly ends up attracting the wrong kind of attention. Beth’s dolt boyfriend threatens with violent retaliation, while Beth reveals herself as someone who doesn’t entirely resemble Denis’ version of the dream girl.
“I Love You Beth Cooper” tries to be funny, but recycled gags and prolonged situations keep it from succeeding; most of the funny bits are in the trailer already. You feel disconnected whenever supposedly big turning points happen. And it just feels awkward when the unsympathetic, mostly unlikable characters try to win you over.
