I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) scores a combined 1.25 out of 4 stars for Cinema BlendCinema Blend
Then again, it's silly to complain about acting in a movie that's so poorly scripted (by the guy who wrote the original book, no less, Larry Doyle) and so poorly directed by someone who obviously knows better. ...read the complete I Love You movie review at Cinema Blend

Whether the fault lies with Chris Columbus' inept casting or writer Larry Doyle's formulaic screenplay, adapted from his 2007 coming-of-age novel, is anyone's guess. ...read the complete I Love You movie review at Susan Granger

If your teens express an interest in seeing this movie, make sure they see "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" too, as a sort of antidote. Both are wish-fulfillment fables spanning 24 hours. One is sweet, relaxed and amusing; the other is a soul-crusher. ...read the complete I Love You movie review at Chicago Tribune

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) scores a combined 0.75 out of 4 stars for Chicago MetromixChicago Metromix
A caricature of teen life instead of an appreciation of it, the stilted, airless "I Love You, Beth Cooper" rigidly adheres to the novel's basics and loses all of the spunk, wit and complexity in translation. ...read the complete I Love You movie review at Chicago Metromix

It doesn't help that Rust is a sniveling nonpresence, unable to balance the screen with his female counterpart. In her first major big-screen role, the Heroes star conveys a strange, sad aloofness behind her sexed-up, car-crashing anarchy. ...read the complete I Love You movie review at Time Out New York

Eventually, Beth Cooper tries to mine some sympathy for its stock characters via sappy speechifying and close-ups of Panettiere looking all misty-eyed, but this seems hypocritically at odds with the film's dominant tone. ...read the complete I Love You movie review at Slant Magazine
