player ready...‘I Love You, Beth Cooper’
Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual content, language, some teen drinking and drug references, and brief violence.
What it’s about: A high school valedictorian confesses his nerdy love of the school hottie in a speech and it changes his life.
The Kid Attractor Factor: Hayden Panettiere in a high school setting.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Nothing ventured, nothing gained; if you join the military, you must be on steroids; and if all your friends say you’re gay, you must be.
Violence: Beatings, the threat of more beatings.
Language: Lots of profanity.
Sex: Sexual situations.
Drugs: Underage drinking, a coke joke.
Parents’ advisory: For a “graduation” teen comedy, this is oddly pitched to an older crowd. Take the PG-13 seriously.
