GENRE: Film - Comedy
HONORS: none
REVIEW: An adaptation of the novel by Larry Doyle, this film exploits the aftermath of valedictorian Denis Cooverman expressing his love for wild child Beth Cooper to his graduating class. In addition, he openly comes clean about the truth of some peers in his class. Teens and adults, alike will be enthralled with Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, as Beth and appreciate the 'indie' feel of an unrecognizable cast. Beth is ruthless compared to Denis, where she makes out with a clerk to get liquor and speeds recklessly in her car. Denis, Beth and their friends celebrate graduation as a odd clique, and deal with some dramatic predicaments that result in an amass of unforgettable times.
OPINION: The script is humorous and the cast do a decent job in such a big budget movie. The film may have been produced too cleanly, but the film doesn't fail in creating some outrageous moments. Teens may be drawn to this film because its focus on the cliche "carpe diem" and Denis' film fact driven - ambiguous best friend is also a charmer.
IDEAS: An adult novel that may appeal to teens because of this movie!
