Last week, I read Larry Doyle's I Love You, Beth Cooper. It's about a nerdy valedictorian who confesses his secret love for the head cheerleader during his valedictorian speech. Comedic hijinks ensue.
Since Doyle is a former writer for The Simpsons, it should come as no surprise that this book is hilarious. It's dialogue-heavy and is just begging to be made into a movie.
Which it is.
According to the trailer, it comes out on July 10th. By the looks of the trailer, it stays pretty true to the book.
Except for one thing.
It stars Hayden Panettiere, the star of that superhero show that comes on Monday nights. While she's cute and seems like a decent enough actress, she also seems like someone that doesn't do nudity. I might be mistaken, but I noticed in the trailer there's a locker room scene where she flashes the valedictorian (a scene which plays out quite differently in the book), only the scene is shot from her back.
In order to make a great teenage sex comedy, you must have nudity!
When Hollywood buys the rights to my book, there will be a clause in the contract stating that the main actress must appear nude in at least one scene in the movie.
Because everyone wants to see a full-frontal shot of a female Bigfoot.
I Love I Love You, Beth Cooper
