My friend and I had both read the original book released in 2007, and couldn't believe they were making a movie of it. We arrived anticipating a few censor ships on the more graphic scenes, but over all a faithful rendition; we could not have been more wrong.
We were HIGHLY disappointed in the movie "I Love You, Beth Cooper". It was pretty much nothing like the book; only the character names were the same and the same basic plot. They cut out all the best scenes: The end of the book when they're all at the cabin and Rich puts on the bear skin rug and holds the gun, the part when Dennis and Kevin fight on the boat in the lake and Dennis almost kills Kevin, and the part when the police show up. Also, Hayden Panettiere blew chunks as Beth Cooper and played her totally wrong. However, Paul Rust and Jack Carpenter were spot on, they saved the movie. Some scenes were exactly how i pictured them, like when they crash into the parents' car, or when Greg Saloga makes amends with Dennis.
All in all, I'd say if you read the book, you'll be sorely disappointed in this movie, and if you didn't read it, or you have an affinity for Hayden Panettiere, you might enjoy it.
