Graduation infatuation

Dennis Cooverman is a loser. No doubt about that, but he at least he is a bold one. In I Love You, Beth Cooper, Dennis uses his valedictorian speech at graduation to proclaim his love for the most popular girl in school. Amazingly, she turns up at his house after the ceremony to show him the night of his life, pulling him out of geekdom and into her fast-paced world of popularity. It may give false hope to shy, nice guys everywhere but this Chris Columbus comedy starring Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere should be a hit with teenagers, cool and uncool, and fans of Superbad, this week. The film opens Friday. Rated PG-13. (Photo courtesy 20th Century Fox)
