Review of I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) by Jimf — 13 Jul 2009

This charming, smartly done teen sex comedy worked for me in a way that I thought "Adventureland" would, but didn't. The three leads are charming, with Panetierre seeming to embody the desirable adventurousness of Britney Spears, while Paul Rust is smart and soulful.

It's a coming of age film for those who went to school in the "Star Wars" era, which makes its PG-13 sexuality both appropriate and nostalgic. And if the manic gags often seem contrived and overdone, the characters and sentiments at the heart of the story are real and convincing.
