Welcome To Movie Recall. In Today's video, we will be going through the 2009 Comedy Romance film : “I
Love You, Beth Cooper”. It's Time To Recall.
Let's Get Started. Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead!
During their graduation at Buffalo Glenn High School, valedictorian Denis Cooverman remembers
his conversation with his dramatic classics-quoting best friend, Rich,
about Beth Cooper. Beth is Denis’ long-time crush, and Rich is sure that she'll forget Denis as
soon as they graduate. Not just forget. She’ll live her life as if lil’ Denis never existed.
Assuming they’ll live that long, they’ll meet during the tenth reunion. Then, Rich urges Denis
to give a big speech during graduation because without it, he’ll cease to exist, and Denis
will regret it for the rest of his life. So when Denis finally gives his speech,
he nervously admits in front of everyone that he loves Beth Cooper and has always admired
her from afar. But he doesn’t stop there. Denis addresses his different schoolmates. He calls
out Victoria for her eating disorder; a rich girl, Valli, for being cruel; Greg,
for being a bully who was probably unloved as a child; Beth’s boyfriend, Kevin, for hanging around
their school even though he's already graduated since he can’t get an adult girlfriend; and Rich,
for hiding his homosexuality. Denis has a lot more to say, but his teacher, Dr. Gleason, cuts him off
after making everyone feel uncomfortable. After the program, Denis gets nasty looks from
the people he has humiliated. Dr. Gleason talks to Denis about his little stunt, so he tells her
he had to do something so Beth would remember him before asking the doctor if she hasn't been
in love before. Suddenly, Dr. Gleason pictures the time she used to fool around and tells Denis
there's another Beth Cooper out there for him. Beth then talks to Denis and says he embarrassed
her, but she's willing to let it slide because he was sweet. She also removes her graduation
gown in the middle of their conversation, and when Rich arrives, he asserts that he's not gay.
Beth decides to leave after feeling uneasy, so Denis invites her to a party at his house later.
Kevin then arrives and roughs up Denis for humiliating him and insulting Beth, but Dr.
Gleason returns before Kevin can hurt Denis even more. On their way home, Rich continues to argue
with Denis about his homosexuality. Now, there was a time when Rich suggested they use their schlongs
as swords while imitating Robin Hood and Fair Truck, but Denis doesn’t mention this. Instead,
he tells Rich that everyone thinks he’s gay, but either way, Denis likes him for who he is
and he just wants him to be true to himself. They also talk about their graduation gifts, and after
seeing that Denis has received an iPod, Rich tells him what his father got him: a bill. His
dad said he owes him 200 grand. Saddened, Denis tells Rich he's sorry that he's got a mean dad.
As Denis and Rich prepare for the party, Mr. and Mrs. Cooverman arrive and ask them to be
responsible, mainly because people are coming over. Denis' father also gives them a bottle
of champagne, while his mother reminds them not to let any designated driver drink. When Mrs.
Cooverman leaves, Mr. Cooverman encourages Denis to do what his teenage heart wants,
even informing him and Rich that he has several packs of protection on his bedside table.
Once Denis' parents are gone, Beth and her friends, Cammy and Treece, arrive
and say Kevin won't be joining them. Once inside, things get awkward between
the teenagers when Beth brings up her dead brother. She then walks out of the room to talk
to Kevin while the rest discuss what they should drink besides champagne. Rich goes upstairs to
get Mr. Cooverman's rubber, while Denis cut's himself from opening the bottle of champagne.
The girls just ignore Denis, but when he hits his face with the cork, Beth is quick to help
him. She asks Rich to give her something cold for his injury, and the only thing available in the
refrigerator is a frozen waffle. Beth goes on top of Denis and presses the waffle on his face, and
when he says he already feels better, Beth looks down and realizes why. Bored, the girls decide
to go no matter how much Denis protests, but Kevin and his Army friends arrive before they can leave.
Denis tries and fails to keep Kevin and his buddies out of his home, and when they get inside,
they start destroying everything. Kevin chases Denis and Rich around the house, and in Denis'
room, he sees a poster of his girlfriend on the ceiling. Denis then defends himself with
a toy lightsaber while Kevin attacks him using the skeleton arms in the room. Rich just hides in the
closet, as the two boys fight, and when he comes out, he jumps out the window. Just when Kevin is
about to hit Denis again, Beth suddenly shows up and knocks out her boyfriend with a skull. Beth
tells Denis to leave, and as he does, Beth notices her poster on the ceiling, which she finds weird.
Rich falls on the ground while holding on to a water pipe while Kevin pushes Denis off the roof.
The two friends crawl on the lawn as they try to escape Kevin's wrath, but Kevin and his boys
are determined to nail them. The Army soldiers chase them like they're training for war, but
Beth suddenly arrives. She accidentally hits Denis with her car before saving him. Rich gets in the
car just in time, too, and Beth drives away while yelling at Kevin to call her once he's sober.
As Beth drives, Denis asks her to slow down, but Cammy tells him she always drives like that.
Rich also remembers how recklessly Beth took her driving exam while Denis thanks Beth for rescuing
him. However, Beth says she's only trying to keep Kevin away from jail and a court martial. Denis
then uses Beth's phone to call his parents to talk about their house, but they aren't answering.
Beth also throws away her phone since Kevin is tracking it, which her friends cheer her for.
With nothing else to do, Denis plays a song on the radio, and everyone sings along to the music.
The five of them go to a convenience store to buy some beer. Denis once again says sorry to Beth,
but Beth doesn't really mind and even offers to buy some Band-Aids for his scratches. As they
talk, Denis sees that Beth's eyes aren't blue, but actually green with a bit of hazel. Denis and
Beth choose their beer and chips, but the cashier refuses to sell them liquor after seeing Beth's ID
which says that she's 37. Determined to get her beer, Beth offers to give the cashier a nice,
hard kiss, leaving both him and Denis stunned. After the ordeal, Beth enthusiastically returns to
her friends with the drinks, and Denis awkwardly comments that what Beth did was weird. When Beth’s
friends discover that she sucked the cashier’s face for two seconds, they applaud her for her
sacrifice, while Rich mutters that he’d do two seconds. Of course, he quickly follows it up by
saying that it’s not gay since he’s following the 3-second rule, which they remind him only applies
to food. But Denis suddenly speaks out, more to himself, and he murmurs: ‘She’s not Beth Cooper’.
The teenagers go to the woods where they build a bonfire and drink. There, Beth opens her beer
using her teeth, but when Denis does the same, he breaks his tooth and coughs it up on Beth.
With Cammy, Treece, and Rich leaving to pee, Beth and Denis talk about their plans after graduation.
While Denis is proud to say that he'll take a medical course at Stanford, Beth isn't sure if she
can afford college. Then, Beth mentions what she did back at the convenience store, disappointed
over Denis' remark about her, so Denis says she's better than the girl who kissed the cashier.
Meanwhile, Rich, Cammy, and Treece get chased by a herd of cows after disturbing them,
and Rich even gets bitten in the neck. Once they reach the car, Beth orders Rich to leave
his shoes after stepping on cow droppings, and Rich reluctantly does as he's told. Beth then
recklessly drives without lights while everyone screams their lungs out, and after Denis begs her
to turn the headlights back on, they hit another car. As it turns out, the kids hit the vehicle
of Denis' parents, who are making love in the woods. Denis is about to get out of Beth's car,
but Beth advises him not to talk to his father while his pants are down before driving away.
The five of them go to Valli's grand party, where Denis expresses his concern since he's embarrassed
her during his speech. However, Rich and the girls aren't really concerned, and they join the rest of
the students, anyway. Once inside, Denis feels sad when Beth talks to some guys, so he excuses
himself to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, Greg finds and takes him to a room, where the big guy
wonders how Denis knew about his problem. Greg hugs and tells Denis that he sometimes
doesn't even remember attacking people, so Denis advises him to get professional help. Thankful,
Greg promises Denis that he will and that he’ll call him about it before asking for another hug.
Afterwards, Denis talks to Rich about Beth and the consequences of his confession.
Then, Victoria and her friend, Patty, show up, praising Denis for his wonderful speech.
Patty then wonders what's happened to Denis' face, and when he and Rich start talking about how
Denis put Kevin in a hospital, Victoria reveals that Mr. Army Man is just upstairs. Of course,
Rich has no choice but to tell them it’s time for him to meet his female fiancé and leave. However,
Valli spots them before they get the chance to leave, and Beth sees that the guy she's kissing
is Kevin. Kevin and his friends rough up Denis and Rich, with Beth failing to stop them.
The Army guys then take Denis and Rich to the living room while Beth decides to leave.
With Kevin getting ready to sock the daylights out of Denis, he tries to ask the crowd if they’ll
just let Kevin murder him. Then, their PT teacher interrupts their fight just to set the typical
ground rules of no biting and what have you, which Kevin’s pleased by. However, Denis insists that he
surrenders since Kevin already has the girl and he already humiliated him in front of everyone,
but Kevin still punches him. Patty then comes to his aid, telling him he can take Kevin down even
when he can’t even get up. Suddenly, Greg shows up in defence of his new buddy, and he singlehandedly
beats up Kevin and his cronies, including their gym teacher. Kevin manages to get up and give
Greg a one-two with some roundhouse kicks before shifting his attention back to Denis. Just when
Kevin is about to hit Denis, Beth crashes her now ex-boyfriend's Hummer through the house to
save her friends. It's now Greg's turn to beat Kevin up, and as Denis and co leave, he scolds
Beth for breaking several laws. But Beth is in no mood to listen to him, so she just recklessly
drives again until they reach their school. Beth and the others enter the school using her
head cheerleader ID, and they go to the gym. There, Rich joins the girl in performing a
dance routine. Beth suddenly gets emotional after dancing, but she doesn't say a word about it and
just hits the shower with her friends. Rich then urges Denis to join the girls, but Denis tells him
he doesn't have to prove anything. Unmoved, Rich simply ignores Denis and goes to the shower room,
and Denis eventually follows him. There, Beth teases Denis by removing her towel in front of
him, and because he's reluctant to join them, Rich reminds him that they have to seize the day. Rich
then removes his clothes to finally take a shower, and as Denis undresses, too, Kevin and his buddies
arrive. Kevin immediately punches Denis and tries to destroy him, but Rich shows up and towel-whips
the Army guys with military precision. He lets Denis and the girls escape, saying he can handle
Kevin and his friends by himself since he's been preparing all his life for that moment. Rich has
been practicing his towel-whipping skills since he was a kid, so he easily beats up the three guys
and joins Denis and the girls. The teenagers then take Beth's car, which was brought back by Kevin,
and argue about where they should go. Treece suggests they go to her father's cabin, but Denis
wants to go home. Beth then tells him that he's the one who started that mess after delivering
his speech at school and confessing his love for someone he barely knows, but Rich says Denis
knows a lot of things about her. Irritated, Denis reminds Beth that she said he was sweet and even
came to his house, but Cammy reveals they only did that because they thought it would be funny.
Treece then gives Denis some tampons for his bleeding nose, and as they pass by the woods,
Beth tells him that guys confess their love for her all the time because they usually
want something from her. But despite Beth's sentiment, Denis still manages to make her laugh.
Since Denis’ shirt stinks, she asks him to take it off so she can air it out,
but Beth accidentally drops it while driving. Beth backs up so Denis to retrieve it, but when
Denis gets out of the car and realizes he's only wearing his underwear, Beth lends him her
poncho. Together, they look for Denis' shirt, and when Denis asks her why she goes out with Kevin,
Beth admits that she likes the way other girls looked at her when she was with him.
She's also made excuses for Kevin's attitude because she felt nice being wanted,
but Denis believes there are many nice guys who'd love to be with her. Unconvinced, Beth asks Denis
why he did the speech, and Denis says he realized that it was his last chance to talk to her.
In a tender but short-lived moment between the two, Beth says she’s glad for Denis’ confession,
and when they find the shirt, they suddenly get chased by a raccoon.
The teenagers drink at Treece's father's cabin, and they toast to the world's greatest night.
Denis then decides to join Beth in watching the sunrise and asks about her brother,
so Beth describes him to Denis the best way she can. She was only two years old when her brother
died, so she remembers only little about him. However, Denis believes her presence meant a lot
to her brother, and Beth thanks him for saying that. Beth then asks him if he still loves her,
and Denis admits that she's different from what he imagined. Denis and Beth talk about their high
school memories, with Beth believing that her life will be completely ordinary from then on.
But Denis tells her that that's ridiculous, for the Beth Cooper he knows is the most alive person
he's ever met. With that, Beth and Denis share a kiss, while inside the cabin, Rich sleeps with
Treeca and Cammy. They then drop Denis home later that morning, and while Mr. Cooverman is happy
that his son had fun, he tells him that he needs to be punished for what happened to their house.
Once Denis' father goes inside, Beth and Denis wish each other good luck, and Denis kisses Beth
on the cheek. However, Beth feels unsatisfied with that and kisses Denis on the lips before thanking
him for loving her. Then, Denis tells Beth he'll see her at the reunion, promising to marry her if
they're both still single. And with that, the two part ways. Rich also bids Treece and Cammy
goodbye, and as he goes inside the house with Denis, he admits that he thinks he's bisexual.
He encourages Denis to take his relationship with Beth to the next level, and Denis declares
he won't wait for the reunion. He'll leave her a message on Facebook and ask her out.
