What Parents Need to Know
About I Love You, Beth Cooper
Parents need to know that this is a review of the movie shown in theaters and not the unrated version with an alternate ending available on DVD.Parents also need to know that this deplorable teen comedy targets teens especially since it stars Heroes cheerleader Hayden Panettiere. But the movie is full of consequence-free underage drinking and teen sex. Teens drink beer, hard liquor, and champagne (the latter supplied by parents) and drive after doing so. Characters have a threesome (though nothing explicit is shown), there's a running conversation about one character's sexual orientation, and teen girls' naked backs are shown during a titillating locker room scene. Language is notably strong for a PG-13 movie, including "f--k" and many uses of "s--t." The main character also gets beaten up a lot, and his parents are iffy role models at best, providing the aforementioned alcohol and essentially encouraging him to have sex.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about teenage sexuality. How is it portrayed here? Is that realistic? Why would Denis' dad encourage him to have sex? Parents, talk to your teens about your own family's values when it comes to sex.
- What about the underage drinking? Is it as common as the movie suggests? What are the consequences of drinking in real life?
- Are the movie's stereotypes funny? Are all cheerleaders mean and all valedictorians nerds? Can you think of teen movies that don't follow these "rules"? How does this movie compare to the classics in the teen genre?

BBFC's Labeling Content Differs From MPAA
The BBFC states, "There is one use of strong language and a few references to drugs, but no sight of actual use." They classified this film a 15 for strong sex references (some moderate sex refences included). Their labeling including this film is kind of strange. The BBFC (I believed) would label the bad language for this one for frequent moderate and once strong. I like their content labeling better than our MPAA.

Loved this movie
This movie was hilarious. My mom and i laughed throughout this whole entire movie, but i must say to other parents that are not sure if their kids can watch it, this movie is a litle bit over the edge. It does have sexual discussions and some iffy sexual content throughout the movie and some drinking, but that's pretty much all you really need to worry about. I would reccommend this to anyone who loves teen comedys like this one.

not that bad
the movie is mature and really shouldnt be exposed to younger teens. unfortunaltly, there are older teens in highschool who act like this so as vulgur or whatever as it was, it was pretty accurate. typical teen movie and overall i dont think it was that bad. although i was a little distracted by that guys obscenely huge nose. what was that???
- I rate this title off for age 17 and give itMy concerns are:
Actually, not for anyone.
NOT FOR KIDS!!! NOT FOR KIDS AT ALL!!!... or even adults. We actually got up and walked out of the theater. This piece of mindless drivel had only one piece of redeeming value... the theater refunded our money.

good but is it for kids my age
This was very good movie. This a more mild version(much more) of the girl next door. With the kinda same plot.A dorky teen is at the end of school and likes another teen named Beth Copper. He decides to tell her how he fells by saying it in front of the whole school. She noticed him and takes interest , so they talk and pretty much go on an adventure in the night together along with three friends, tackling many obstacles like Beth Coppers boyfriend and much more.

YUCK!
I really hated this movie. I went with my friend who is the same age as I am and my brother who is 13. The sexual content was a little strong for a PG-13 and there were a lot of thing I wish my brother hadn't heard. Besides that, the acting was bad, the characters weren't relatable, and the plot was heavily disguised. I didn't really have any idea of the moral of the movie or why anyone would have made the movie. I didn't read the book, but I surely hope it was more original than the movie. You may as well throw your money away.

MOVIE IS NOT BAD!!! DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS!
its nothing a kid in highschool has not already scene, its not a bad movie and the "bad stuff" (sarcasm) isn't advertising for other kids to do it!!!! its fine, though younger kids (under 13 i dont think should see it)

Bad Acting and Not Funny
This movie is so bad that the only real advertisement that is receiving any attention at all is that Hayden gets nude in a scene.
