A few months ago I was in Borders (pre-employment) looking for something to sit around with and I came across I Love You, Beth Cooper. I had read some reviews prior to my visit and it sounded pretty cool so I decided to pick it up. So I started it and couldn't put it down for a while but for some reason I kind of stopped reading it. Recently I decided to pick it up again and finish it, which I did over over lazy day. I then asked myself why I had put it down in the first place. Anyway, it reminded me of all these 80's John Hughes flicks if I had read them and not watched them. I mean, that's what inspired it, that and Larry Doyle's teenage years of course. After picking it up again I come across something online about the the movie. Yes, an I Love You, Beth Cooper movie. C'mon. Now I'm sure it's going to be a great since it shares a director with Home Alone, Adventures in Babysitting, and Harry Potter 1 & 2 but there's some stuff in the book that's a little closer to Superbad than anything else and I don't know what the filmmakers are going to do with it. I'd hate for it to get cleaned up since it works so well in the book. My guess is it'll be more like a John Hughes film than, I dunno, Last American Virgin. Let's hope it comes out with a clean R rating.and here's a still from the movie, if you're interested. Some weird looking kid as Denis Cooverman and Claire Bennett as Beth Cooper.
